One fact: Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system
Diameter: ~ 12104 km
Moons: No
Type: Terrestrial planet
Axial tilt: ~ 177 degrees (Almost upside down)
Day: 5,832 hours
Full orbit: 255 Earth days
Average surface temperature: ~ 457° Celsius
Name Origin (English): Venus is from Latin Origin from the Roman Goddess for love and beauty.
In Greek, the goddess is instead known as "Aphrodite".
Origin: Formed about 4.6 billion years ago from gas and dust particles. Scientist hypothesize that
Venus used to be habitable long time ago, with liquid water just like Earth's.
However, due to the greenhouse runaway effect, causing Venus to become very hot,
Venus hypothetically became inhospitable for life. Evidence for potential life in Venus hasn't been
proven yet.
Atmosphere: Venus' atmosphere is mostly contained of 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen.
With that much carbon dioxide, Venus has extreme greenhouse effect, with the carbon dioxide
trapping so much heat in its atmosphere, making Venus the hottest planet in the solar system.
