Please like and subscribe Venus is the second planet in the solar system in terms of distance from the sun, and is considered one of the most interesting planets for several reasons: General characteristics: 1. Orbit and location: • It is about 108 million kilometers away from the sun. • It is sometimes considered the closest planet to Earth. 2. Size and mass: • Its size is very close to the size of Earth, and it is sometimes called “Earth’s twin.” • Its diameter is about 12,104 kilometers. • Its mass is about 81.5% of Earth’s mass. 3. Atmosphere: • The atmosphere consists of 96.5% carbon dioxide, with small amounts of nitrogen. • The atmosphere is very dense and its surface pressure is about 92 times higher than Earth’s. • It contains dense clouds of sulfuric acid. 4. Temperature: • Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, with temperatures on its surface reaching about 475 degrees Celsius, due to the severe greenhouse effect. 5. Rotation on its axis: • It rotates very slowly on its axis, as a day on Venus (one rotation on its axis) takes about 243 Earth days. • It rotates in the opposite direction to most planets (retrograde rotation). Unique characteristics: 1. Its surface: • The surface of Venus is covered with volcanoes and volcanic plains. • It contains distinctive terrain including mountains and valleys. 2. Sky and light: • Venus is known as the “morning star” or “evening star” because it appears bright in the sky at certain times. • It strongly reflects sunlight due to its thick atmosphere. 3. No moons: • Venus has no moons or rings. Exploration: • Many space missions have been sent to study Venus, including: • The Venera mission from the Soviet Union, which was the first spacecraft to land on its surface. • The Magellan mission from NASA to map its surface using radar. Importance of Venus: • Understanding Venus contributes to studying the effect of the atmosphere on climate, which may provide insights into climate change on Earth. • It is a target for studying the possibility of life-like conditions in the upper atmosphere. #viralvideo #viralshort #explore #shorts #love #like #subscribe #comment #youtubeshorts
