How much do you know about Venus? Venus is very similar to earth. They are called sister planets because they are similar in size and density, but Venus is 20% smaller in mass. Due to the planet's reduced mass and weak gravity, our human weight on Venus will be reduced by 20% relative to the earth. However, the earth provides a much better environment, so it is best to observe Venus with a telescope.
In fact, Venus is one of the strangest planets in the solar system.
Here are some reasons:
1. The time on Venus is strange
A day on a planet depends on how long it takes the planet to rotate around its axis. On earth, it takes 24 hours. But on Venus, it takes 243 Earth days to rotate around its axis. Chronology, by contrast, shows the time it takes a planet to make one revolution around the sun. Venus completed in 224 days. This is strange, but it is true. If you can survive and live there in some way, years will pass faster than your days, so you will be constantly confused about what time it is now.
2. The heat is overwhelming
Venus and the earth may be similar in size, but the temperature on Venus makes it far from habitable. According to NASA data, the temperature on Venus is high enough to melt lead. It is understood that the atmosphere of Venus is almost composed of 96% carbon dioxide and a small amount of water vapor. These greenhouse gases make it impossible for heat to leave the surface of Venus, so the temperature reached on its surface is not viable - between 460 and 880 degrees Fahrenheit. Even spacecraft will melt after only a few hours on Venus.
3. Venus will crush you
If you can survive the extreme heat on Venus, even short-term survival opportunities will not exist. This is because the air pressure there is 90 times that of the earth, which is equivalent to the pressure people face at 3000 feet underwater. In other words, if you get there, Venus' atmospheric pressure will immediately overwhelm you.
4. Venus is a little "backward"
Another strange thing about Venus is its rotation. Planets and even asteroids rotate counterclockwise. That is why on earth, the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. On Venus, on the contrary, the planet rotates clockwise around its axis, and the sun rises in the West and sets in the East. In fact, Venus is the only planet in the solar system that rotates clockwise.
5. Venus looks lovely from a distance
If you observe Venus, you will think it is the most lovely planet and a beautiful light in the sky. Because it is very close to the earth, Venus appears bright and shining in the sky. Early astronomers were so inspired by the beauty of the earth's sister planet that they named it Venus, the goddess of America in Roman mythology. However, if you look closer at its surface, you will see countless pits and mountains. In addition, you will see thousands of volcanoes, ranging in size from quite large to very small. In fact, it has more volcanoes than any other planet, the largest of which is sapas mon. Volcanoes play an important role in shaping their surfaces.
Bottom line
If Venus looks beautiful in the sky, it will never be a place you want to go. Even for a short time, you can't live there. So it's best to just enjoy it.
