Computer artwork of the surface of Venus
Surface of Venus. Computer artwork of the surface of the planet Venus. Venus is the second planet out from the Sun, but it is without a doubt the hottest. A " runaway greenhouse effect" traps most of the energy from the Sun, and temperatures on Venus are around 460 degrees celsius. The clouds which cover the entire planet are made up of sulphuric acid particles, and the atmospheric pressure is almost 100 times that on Earth. The surface is geologically active with several large volcanoes. These produce more greenhouse gases, which further contribute to the hot environment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the enigmatic surface of Venus, our neighboring planet. As the second planet from the Sun, Venus boasts an astonishingly scorching climate that surpasses any other in our solar system. The relentless "runaway greenhouse effect" traps an immense amount of solar energy, resulting in temperatures soaring to a staggering 460 degrees Celsius. The ethereal clouds enveloping Venus are composed of sulphuric acid particles, creating a mesmerizing and ominous atmosphere. With atmospheric pressure nearly 100 times greater than Earth's, this celestial body presents an environment unlike anything we have ever encountered. Beneath this turbulent veil lies a geologically active surface adorned with colossal volcanoes. These majestic formations continuously emit greenhouse gases into the already sweltering atmosphere, perpetuating the intense heat that characterizes Venus. Through this stunning illustration created by Science Photo Library, we gain a glimpse into the awe-inspiring complexity and beauty of our planetary neighbor. It serves as a reminder of both the extraordinary diversity within our universe and the unique conditions that shape each celestial body.
