Volcanoes on Venus
Venus. Artwork of volcanic domes on Venus. Venus has the hottest planetary surface in the solar system, with temperatures of nearly 500 degrees Celsius. This is due to its carbon dioxide atmosphere that traps the Suns heat. Layers of sulphuric acid clouds cover the planet. The surface was mapped with radar by the Magellan space probes. The gravity is only slightly less than that on Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing volcanic domes on Venus, a planet known for its scorching heat and unique geological features. With temperatures reaching nearly 500 degrees Celsius, Venus boasts the hottest planetary surface in our solar system. The intense heat is a result of its carbon dioxide atmosphere that efficiently traps the Sun's rays. Adding to its mystique, layers of sulphuric acid clouds envelop the entire planet. The detailed mapping of Venus' surface was made possible by radar technology aboard the Magellan space probes. These invaluable data revealed a stunning array of volcanoes and craters scattered across the planet's rugged terrain. The artwork beautifully captures this otherworldly landscape, showcasing both collapsed craters and calderas formed by ancient volcanic activity. Despite being slightly less gravitationally forceful than Earth, Venus remains an enigmatic celestial body within our universe. Its fiery nature and volatile geology continue to intrigue astronomers and cosmologists alike. This remarkable illustration from Science Photo Library transports us to another world entirely – one where molten lava flows freely amidst an unforgiving environment. It serves as a reminder of just how diverse and awe-inspiring our solar system truly is.
