Clockwise.
Venus formed about 4 million
years ago at the conclusion of
forming it continued to be
bombarded with leftover
material. Many planets still
bear the remains of this
activity by showing many
craters on the surface. Activity
on the surface can act to
change the craters.
Venus is the second-closest to
planet to the sun, orbiting every
224.7 earth days. The planet is
named after Venus, the Roman
goddess of love. It is the brightest
natural object in the night sky
except for the moon reaching an
apparent magnitude of -4.6
because it never appears to
venture far from the sun.
Venus rotates so slowly that it
orbits the sun faster than it
can make one whole rotation
on its axis. In other words,
Venus has a longer day than
year. It takes 243 days for
Venus to make a rotation. It
takes 224 days for Venus to
orbit around the sun.
It is believed that Venus used to have
bodies of water similar to Earth, but
dried up over a period of 300 million
years when the sun began admitting
more solar energy after the sun's
infancy stage. The clouds of Venus is
filled with sulfuric acid. Venus has
mountains that are higher than Earth.
Maat Mons is more than 5 miles high.
Venus is the brightest planet viewed
from Earth. The planet rotates from
East to West. The only other planet
that does this is Uranus.
1.What is another name for the

4. What is the major component of

1.The star
2.Even though it is similar in
size to Earth, Venus is smaller
3.Venus has a thick

Crater-A bowl-shaped depression at the mouth of
a volcano or geyser
Absolute magnitude- Magnitude that a star
would appear to have if it were at a distance of
10 pc from the Sun
Astrology- A system in which the positions of
the Sun, Moon, and Planets are supposed to
exert an influence on events on Earth. Originally
a part of astronomy, astrology is today without
scientific content. Astrology is strictly forbidden
in the Bible
Core- Central region of a planet. The Earth's core
is liquid, possible with a small, solid inner core.
Gas giants-a planet that has a deep , massive
atmosphere , such as Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus , or
Neptune
Gravity- toward any other physical body having
mass
Parallax- an apparent shift in the position of an
object when viewed from different locations
Orbits- the path that a body follows as it travels
around another body in space
Atmosphere- the envelope of gases surrounding
the planets
Spectrum- the band of colors produce when white
light passes through a prism
Venus is covered by
thick clouds that
reflect a lot of
sunlight making it
the brightest planet
in the night sky.
Venus is home to
more than 1,000
volcanoes or
volcanic centers
larger than 12 miles
in diameter.
Earth has 365 days in a year. Venus takes 227.4
Earth days to orbit around the sun so what is
the difference between Venus and Earth earth
days.
E=365
365-227.4=V
365-227.4=137.6
I hope you
enjoyed the
presentation of
planet Venus.
