Venus

 

Venus-realVenus is the hottest planet in the solar system. All Venus days long the average temperature is 465 degrees celsius. That is equal to 870 degrees farenheight!

You wouldn’t survive on Venus for one second. You would be crushed by the pressurized atmosphere, poisoned by deadly gases and fried by the ferocious heat.

On Venus, you may find some flat, rounded volcanoes known as “pancake domes”. They formed from thick, slow-moving lava that became solid before it could flow very far.

Venus is known as Earth’s “sister planet” because it has quite a few similarities. For example, it is about the same size.

Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty because Venus is so bright and beautiful.

  1. Well then, I think I'll stay here on Earth. Venus doesn't sound like a nice place to be at all!

  2. I think that a planet named after the Roman Goddess of Love sounds a really nice place...shame about the crushing atmosphere, deadly gases and ferocious heat though. Maybe St Margarets would be better. x

  3. I think a place named after a goddess of beauty and love sounds like a nice place too. Although if i was a Venus-exploring scientist i would be burnt to a crisp.xx
