Venus

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been busy. Anyway, here's Venus: Venus is sometimes called the morning or evening star, but it's not a star. If you weighed 70 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 63 pounds on Venus. Venus is a hostile planet. Its thick cloud cover makes it impossible to see the surface, and also traps much of the Sun's heat. This extra heat gives Venus the hottest average temperature of any of the planets.Venus has active volcanoes, venusquakes,valleys, and mountains. But it has no life.


About once every few hundred million years, some scientists think that the entire surface of the planet is melted from below, forming a huge ocean of lava across the surface of the planet. Heat escapes from Venus into space. It has the exact same number of moons as Mercury. Stay tuned for tomorrow.
