VENUS RELATIVE SIZE
 Venus is relatively the same size as Earth. There is a 638 km
diameter difference between the two planets. Venus contains roughly
81.5% of the Earth’s mass.
MYTHOLOGY BASED UPON
VENUS
 In mythology, Aphrodite was considered to be the goddess of
love. In mythology, Venus represents the feminine aspect in us all. She
is considered to be the brightest object in the sky after the sun and the
moon. This is also true in general.

REVOLUTION
 It takes 225 Earth days for Venus to complete a revolution around
the sun. The lack of tilt that Venus has, causes the greenhouse effect
making it exceptionally hot. It also is hot due to the immense amount
of carbon dioxide. Kepler’s fist law staves that the path that Venus
takes around the sun is an ellipses.
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
 The atmospheric pressure of Venus is estimated to be about 92
times greater than Earth’s. The pressure would be equal to the feeling
of being deep beneath the sea on earth.
PHASES OF VENUS
 Similar to our moon, Venus has phases when viewed on a
telescope. The orbit of Venus is between the Earth and Sun.
THE SURFACE OF VENUS
 Venus is covered by clouds of water vapor and sulfuric acid and
the surface cannot be seen with normal astronomy based telescope.
