The planet

VENUS , the second planet from

the sun, is often referred to as

one of the “ inner planets”.

It’s one of the first FOUR planets

closest to the sun.

The inner planets

V e n u s m e a n s :

In astronomy mythology, Venus

was the Roman goddess of love

and beauty.

In Greek, her name was

Aphrodite.

Like the Earth, Venus has an

Atmosphere.

It is far thicker than that of the

Earth, making it diffi cult for

modern science to penetrate.

The Earth Has a Sister

Venus is in many ways Earth's

sister planet. It is almost

identical in size, chemistry,

gravity and density as the Earth.

Venus has volcanoes, mountains

and sand, just l ike Earth.

Venus is Dry

 Venus does not have an ozone layer. The ultraviolet radiation from the Sun finds ITS way directly into Venus' atmosphere. Over many years a billion of this radiation has slowly broken down water molecules into Hydrogen and Oxygen. 

Instead of the Sun rising in the east and setting in the west, the Sun on Venus would appear to rise in the west and set in the east.

 Moons: Venus has no moon.
