2. Venus Bio/Facts
Diameter: 12,104 km Relative Mass (Earth = 1): Density (kg/m3): 5240 Distance from Sun (AU): 0.72 Length of Day: hours Length of Year: days Mean Temp: ⁰F

3. Questions:
Why is Venus so much warmer than Mercury (which is closer to the Sun)?

4. Atmosphere
Primarily composed of CO2 and Nitrogen (N2) If Venus’ atmosphere is primarily CO2 , how could that affect its temperature? (Think greenhouse gases) The Planet is covered in clouds made of sulfuric acid!

5. Moons
None again! (seeing a trend here?)

8. Computer generated interpretation
(Still cool!!!)

10. Describe Venus’ rotation.
Is this the same as Earth?
