Discovery
Venus planet was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei with the help of his self designed telescope.
Composition
It is a terrestrial planet with a solid rocky surface. It is a challenge for scientists to study about the surface of planet Venus but in its atmosphere there is maximum amount of Carbon Dioxide CO2 (96.5%) other substances in its atmosphere are Nitrogen, Sulphur Dioxide, Water Vapurs, Argon etc. Which makes it an impossible place for life. Due to high amount of CO2, Greenhouse effect is seen there in a huge amoumt which makes it the hottest planet in the solar system.
Relation with the solar system
It is the second nearest planet with the Sun and the nearest planet to the Earth. It is about 108.85 million km from the Sun. It is the hottest and brightest planet in the Solar system which can be seen before sunrise or after sunset. So, it is called morning or evening star. It is tilted about 3 degrees only on its axis.
Some astonishing facts
- It has the most straight axis because it has a tilt of only 3 degrees on its axis i.e. there is only a little difference between day and night of the planet.
- The time taken by Venus for one revolution is about 224.7 Earth days and time taken for one rotation is about 243 Earth days. Thus one day on Venus is longer than on year.
- It is the only planet in solar system which spins clockwise.
- The atmospheric pressure on Venus is about 90 times more than that of Earth.
- The temperature is so high and the atmosphere is so acidic that a single blow of the planet's air is enough to turn a living man into skeleton.
- It is known as Earth's twin as it is same in size as Earth.
