Most people associate Venus with love and passion. The atmosphere and surface of Venus is not habitable. Moreover, it is not known whether there is life on this planet. Perhaps aliens live there? Next, we suggest reading more interesting and amazing facts about the planet Venus.
1. Venus is closer to the Earth than all other planets of our solar home.
2. Astrophysicists call Venus the twin sister of our Earth.
3. Two sister planets are very similar to each other only in external dimensions.
4. The geophysical environment of the two planets is different.
5. The internal structure of Venus is not fully known.
6. It is not possible to carry out seismic sounding of the Venusian depths.
7. Scientists can explore the space around Venus and its surface using radio signals.
8. Our sister can boast of her youth - only 500 million years.
9. The planet's young age helped establish nuclear techniques.
10. It was possible to take samples of the Venusian soil.
11. Conducted appropriate scientific measurements of samples in terrestrial laboratories.
12. Terrestrial analogs have not been found, despite a certain external similarity between Earth and Venus.
13. Each planet is individual in its geological composition.
14. The Venusian diameter is 12100 km. For comparison, the diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km.
15. Close values of diameters, most likely, are due to gravitational laws.
16. Someone has established a strict order: each planet must have its own retinue - satellites. However, Venus and Mercury are not so honored.
17. Venus does not have a single satellite.
18. The average density of the rocks that make up the poetic planet is less than that of the Earth.
19. The planetary mass reaches almost 80% of the mass of its sister.
20. Small weight relative to the Earth reduces gravity accordingly.
21. If we have a desire to visit Venus, then we will not have to lose weight before the trip.
22. We will weigh less on the neighboring planet.
23. Gravitational stability dictates its own orders and indicates to the planets in which direction to rotate. Cosmic nature endowed the universal right to rotate as expected, that is, clockwise, only two planets - Venus and Uranus.
24. Venusian day is the dream of people who always lack an earthly day.
25. A day on Venus lasts longer than its own year.
26. Poets, when singing Venus, count the day as a year.
27. The lyrics are very close to the truth. The rotation of the planet around its own axis takes 243 of our native Earth days.
28. Venus makes the route around the Sun in 225 our days.
29. Solar radiation, with partial reflection from the surface of Venus, gives it a dazzling light.
30. In the night sky, the sister planet is the brightest.
31. When Venus is at a close distance from us, it looks like a thin crescent.
32. The most distant Venus relative to the Earth does not look so bright.
33. When Venus is far from the Earth, its light becomes dim, and it itself becomes round.
34. Massive vortex clouds, like a blanket, completely covered Venus.
35. Large craters and mountain ranges located on the Venusian surface are practically invisible.
36. Sulfuric acid plays a decisive role in the formation of clouds on Venus.
37. Venus is the planet of thunderstorms.
38. Thunderous "rains" are constantly, only sulfuric acid falls out instead of water.
39. During chemical reactions in the clouds of Venus, acids are formed.
40. Zinc, lead and even diamond can be dissolved in the Venusian atmosphere.
41. When going on a trip to the planet sung by poets, it is better to leave the jewels in the earthly home.
42. Our jewelry can be completely dissolved.
43. Only four Earth days are required for clouds to fly around Venus.
44. The main component of the atmosphere of Venus is carbon dioxide.
45. The content of carbon dioxide reaches 96%.
46. The Venusian greenhouse effect is due to a large percentage of carbon dioxide.
47. There are three plateaus on the surface of Venus.
48. Geological objects of Venus have an extended appearance and are surrounded by plains.
49. Due to the thick layer of clouds, it is impossible to observe Venusian objects.
50. Researchers have discovered the massive plateaus of Venus and other geological formations using radar.
51. The most unusual and mysterious is the Ishtar Land plateau.
52. According to earthly concepts, the Ishtar land plateau is very large.
53. Geophysical measurements carried out using aerospace observations have shown that Ishtar is larger than the United States.
54. Volcanic lava is the basis of the foundations on Venus.
55. Almost all geological objects of the planet consist of lava.
56. Venusian lava cools very slowly due to high temperatures.
57. How slowly do lava flows freeze? Millions of our geological years.
58. The Venusian surface is literally full of volcanoes. There are thousands of them on the planet.
59. Intense volcanic processes are an important component in the formation of Venus.
60. What is unacceptable on Earth, on a neighboring planet in the order of things - the opposite of many geophysical conditions.
61. It is difficult to imagine the length of the lava flow in a thousand kilometers in the conditions of the modern Earth.
62. Marvelous Venusian streams can be observed using radars.
63. Psychologists often recommend that people look at grains of sand rolling down from the top of a mountain on model specimens. The time has come to introduce into practice the study of the movement of Venusian streams.
64. People are used to considering deserts as sandy. But on Venus, things are different.
65. Earthly consciousness should be expanded, because the Venusian deserts are rocky formations that form a kind of Venus landscape.
66. For many decades, both poets and scientists believed that high humidity prevails on the sister planet.
67. Researchers assumed the presence of extended wetlands.
68. Scientists hoped to find living forms of matter on Venus, which, as you know, prefer to originate in warm water mass.
69. After studying the obtained experimental data, it turned out that only lifeless plateaus are extended on Venus.
70. Mountain spring, pure mountain stream. When going on a trip to Venus, you will have to forget about such concepts.
71. We will meet absolutely dehydrated rock deserts on our neighboring planet.
72. The climate of Venus is simply characterized. This is an absolute drought and the same maximum heat.
73. You cannot sunbathe on this planet, it is very hot - 480 ° C.
74. Water may have once been on Venus.
75. Now on the neighboring planet there is not a single drop of water due to the high temperature.
76. Specialists in geological sciences suggest that the planet had water about 300 million years ago.
77. The intensity of solar radiation has increased greatly over geological time and the water has dried up.
78. The very high temperature in the near-Venetian space excludes the possibility of the existence of life.
79. The pressure on one square centimeter of the Venusian surface reaches 85 kg. Relative to the Earth, this value is 85 times greater.
80. If a person entrusts his decision to a coin and tosses it up on Venus, then it will take a long time to make a decision, passing through the atmosphere like the thickness of our ordinary water.
81. If you like to walk with your loved one on the earth's surface, then before going to Venus you will have to take a training course on the sea or river bottom.
82. Winds of Venus are not safe for man and technology.
83. Even a light breeze can turn out to be a storm on Venus.
84. The breeze can carry a person away like a light feather.
85. The first to land on the surface of the sister planet was the Soviet ship Venera-8.
86. In 1990, the American ship "Magellan" was sent to visit our twin neighbor.
87. As a result of the radio work of "Magellan" a topographic map of the surface of the planet Venus was compiled.
88. Constructive competition in space continues. American ships visited the hot planet three times less often than Soviet ships.
89. What was the first planet the astronauts saw from the window? Of course, my mother Earth. And then Venus.
90. The magnetic field on Venus is hardly felt.
91. As seismologists say, you cannot ring Venus.
92. Some experimental evidence suggests that the Venusian core is liquid.
93. The core of the planet is smaller than the Earth's.
94. Poets sing about the ideal forms of Venus.
95. The poetic lyricists were not mistaken. If our Earth is flattened at the poles, then the shape of its sister is an ideal sphere.
96. Being on the Venusian surface, it is impossible to see the Sun and the Earth due to the presence of an enveloping dense cloudy mass.
97. The low speed of rotation of the planet Venus leads to constant strong heating.
98. There can be no change of seasons on Venus.
99. The informational component of the physical fields of the neighboring planet was not found.
100. Is there information on Venus? Nobody knows.
