VENUS | interesting Facts About Venus

                            VENUS

Venus is second planet from the Sun in our Solar - System and Nearest planet to the Earth.

 Brightness :
Venus is Brightest planet in our Solar - System. and second  brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon.It can be seen
even in daylight, if you know where to look. Venus is so bright because it is covered by clouds that reflect much of the incoming sunlight. 

  Surface:
Venus has phases like the moon, because the orbit of  Venus is between the earth and the sun.
Venus is covered by water vapor and sulfuric acid and the surface cannot be seen with an ordinary telescope.

 Evening - Morning STAR: 
When Venus is west of the Sun, it rises before the Sun in the morning and is known as Morning - Star.

And when Venus is east of the sun, it shines in the evening just after the Sun and called the Evening Star.

Orbit of Venus:
Venus round the Sun in 225 days,

Distance from the Sun:
Venus is 67 million miles, or 108 million kilometers from the Sun.

Temperature of the Venus:
Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar - system, even hotter than Mercury, which is closer to the Sun.
                                                            The surface of Venus is about 465 degree celsius.

Moons : Venus hasn't any Moon.

Diameter: 12,104 km.

Why Venus is hotter than Mercury..?
Mercury is the planet that is closest
to the sun and therefore gets more heat, but even it isn't the hottest . Venus is the second planet of Solar - system and Hottest planet of the Solar-system.
                                                         
The reason is that, Mercury doesn't have any atmosphere, and atmosphere can hold and trap heat. Although in the Venus, the carbon - dioxide traps most of the heat from the sun. the cloud layers also act as a blanket. The result is a 'Runaway Greenhouse effect',
That has caused the planet's temperature to sour to 465 degree celcius. This means that the Venus is even hotter than Mercury.

FACTS ABOUT VENUS:

*Venus does not have any moon or rings and natural satellites.

*Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets: This means that Venus is rotating in the opposite direction to the Sun.
Therefore It looks that the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

*Atmospheric pressure on Venus is 92 times greater than the earth.

*Venus is often called the Earth's sister planet:The Earth and Venus are very similar in size with only 638 km. difference in diameter.

Both also have a central Core. But chances are, no humans will ever live there.

*Venus is also known as Morning Star and Evening Star.

 *At one point, it was thought Venus might be a Tropical paradise: It is thought Venus did once have oceans but these evaporated as the planets temperature increased.

* Venus is the Hottest planet of our solar - system.

*Venus have continents, mountains and craters.

*A day on Venus lasts longer than a year: One day of Venus( solar day ) is as long as 117 Earth days.

*The Venus has over 100,000 volcanoes.
The largest volcano is over 5 miles high.

 *This planet has a molten core
made of Iron and Metal like earth.

*Huge cracks and crevices cover some parts of this planet's surface.

*Thick cloud of sulfuric - acid swirl around Venus: Sulfuric -  acid is a powerful acid,
that can melt just about anything it touches.

*The Venus has the longest rotation period of any planet in the Solar - system.

THE SUN

                                  SUN The Sun  is the star  at the center of the Solar - system, ' The HEART of our Solar - system'.  It is a yellow dwarf star.   The Sun gives life to the  Earth  and the Earth would have no life at all without the energy it receives from the Sun. WHAT IS THE SUN MADE OF? All stars are made out of gas and plasma. The Sun consists mostly of hydrogen and helium. It also has some carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and small amounts of other gases.                                    In the center of Sun, there is a process called Nuclear Fusion. During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms become helium. That means that the hydrogen is slowly being turned into helium. WHAT TYPE OF STAR IS IT? Astronauts classify stars based on the In this system, stars are assigned a letter: O, B, A, F, G, K or M . Stars are grouped into these classes based on their color and / or temperature .The Sun is a class G star. Morgan - Keenan system. HOW BIG IS TH

                           ASTRONOMY  Astronomy  (from  Greek :  ἀστρονομία ) is  a  natural science  that studies  celestial objects and  phenomena . It applies  mathematics ,  physics , and  chemistry  in an effort to explain the origin of those objects and phenomena and their  evolution . Objects of interest include  planets ,  moons ,  stars ,  galaxies , and  comets ; the phenomena also includes  supernova   explosions,  gamma ray bursts ,  quasars com ,  blazars ,  pulsars , and  cosmic microwave background radiation . More generally, all phenomena that originate outside  Earth's atmosphere  ki  are within the purview of astronomy. A related but distinct subject is  physical cosmology , which is the study of the  Universe  as a whole. [1]

EARTH

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun in the Solar - system. The Earth is the only planet in the Solar - system known to harbor life.   LIFE ON EARTH The Earth's temperature, atmosphere and many other factors are just right to keep us alive. The Earth is just for enough away from the Sun, that it is at the right temperature to have liquid water on it's surface. In fact, most of Earth's surface is covered in  water,  which is very  important  for  living things. SIZE OF THE EARTH The Earth is the biggest of all the terrestrial  planets. but the Earth is much smaller than the gas planets, like Saturn and Jupiter, that are in the outer Solar - system. If you cut a piece of string long enough to wrap it around the Earth, it had be 24,901 miles long. That's longer than 365,000 Football fields. THE EARTH'S ORBIT AND ROTATES The Earth is still 93 Million Miles away from the sun. since it's so far away. it takes the earth a
