* This is a picture of Venus in space.
By Carlos Vera
* Venus was seen by a spacecraft
named Mariner 2, in 1962.
* Venus may sometimes be visible
at Earth.
* The Mariner 2 spacecraft was
launched from Cape Canaveral
on August 27, 1962 and passed
as close as 34,773 kilometers
(21,607 mi) to Venus on
December 14, 1962.
* The Romans knew of seven
bright objects in the sky: the
Sun, the Moon, and the five
brightest planets.
*
They named them after their
most important gods.
*
Venus, the brightest planet in
the night sky, was named after
the Roman goddess of love and
beauty.
*
* Sun, orbiting it every 224.7
Earth days It has the longest
rotation period (245 days) of
any planet in the Solar System
and rotates in the opposite
direction to most other planets.
Venus rotates so slow cause a
atmospheric Venus is the
second planet from the tide
created by solar heating of the
thick Venusian atmosphere.
*
* There are even a few asteroids that have
moons.
* Venus; however, may not have always been
moonless.
*
* Venus’s appearance seems to be
very rocky and has lot and tons of
magma and volcanoes.
*
Venus is also very hot since it is the
second planet closest to the sun.
Venus contains almost no water
vapor.
* The atmosphere is so thick in fact
that the pressure at the surface of
the planet is 92 times that of earth.
*
* For a planet to have rings, it
must have formed further out in
the solar system, where water
ice would be able to freeze into
chunks of ice. It’s too warm
around Venus so that any water
would be a gas or a liquid.
*
* This is a picture of a satellite
from Venus. There are many
satellites that explored Venus
here is a list of four of them.

Venus is known as the
morning star. It is also the
brightest planet since it is
close to the sun. Most of
atmosphere is almost made
up of only carbon dioxide.
Earth and Venus are like
basically the same size. It is
7,522 miles wide last the
temperature can be more
than 460ºC
