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.
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.
