Venus
When Venus is visible, it is one of the
brightest objects in the night sky, being
outshone only by our Moon
Venus is a very odd place
Venus rotates in the opposite direction that
Earth does
One full rotation is 243 Earth days, which is
longer than a Venusian year which is only 225
earth days

Venus
Venus is an example of the "greenhouse
effect" on a planetary scale
the planet is covered with a thick blanket
of clouds made up mostly of sulfuric acid
The clouds keep the temperature hot enough to
melt lead
