Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is one of the most fascinating celestial bodies within our solar system. Known as Earth's twin due to its similar size and composition, Venus is a hotbed of scientific interest.
Journey through features of Venus
Atmosphere: A thick, toxic atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulfuric acid, enveloping the hottest planet in our solar system.
Surface: Rocky and volcanic with a surface temperature high enough to melt lead.
Rotational Characteristics: Uniquely rotates in the opposite direction to most planets, resulting in a sunrise in the west and sunset in the east.
