   Venus is one of only two planets in our solar system that doesn't have a moon, but it does have a quasi-satellite that has officially been named Zoozve. This object was discovered on Nov. 11, 2002, by Brian Skiff at the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) in Flagstaff, Arizona, a project funded by NASA that ended in February 2008.

   The planet is nearly as big around as Earth – 7,521 miles (12,104 kilometers) across, versus 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers) for Earth. From Earth, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky after our own Moon. The ancients, therefore, gave it great importance in their cultures, even thinking it was two objects: a morning star and an ...

   Although the surface conditions on Venus are no longer hospitable to any Earth-like life that may have formed before this event, there is speculation on the possibility that life exists in the upper cloud layers of Venus, 50 km (30 mi) up from the surface, where the atmospheric conditions are the most Earth-like in the Solar System, [106] with temperatures ranging between 303 and 353 K (30 and ...

   The atmosphere of Venus is the very dense layer of gases surrounding the planet Venus. Venus's atmosphere is composed of 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen, with other chemical compounds present only in trace amounts. [1] It is much denser and hotter than that of Earth; the temperature at the surface is 740 K (467 °C, 872 °F), and the ...

   How many Watts Does a solar panel produce on Venus?

   • Venus's solar radiance is about 2613.9 watts per square meter. A panel rated at 100W on earth, would produce 136 watts in space and 261 watts around Venus. This assumes the same environmental conditions, but basically you get about 2x the power.

   How much solar energy does Venus get from the Sun?

   • From a relative sense, Venus is ~0.72 AU from the sun, meaning via the inverse-square law, it gets ~1.93 times as much solar-energy per unit of area as at earth orbit. That said, I don't know whether PV efficiency will change if you double the sunlight coming in.

   How much pressure does Venus have?

   • The atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus is about 92 times that of the Earth, similar to the pressure found 900 m (3,000 ft) below the surface of the ocean. The atmosphere has a mass of 4.8 × 10 20 kg, about 93 times the mass of the Earth's total atmosphere.

   How close is Earth to Venus?

   • Earth's nearness to Venus is a matter of perspective. The planet is nearly as big around as Earth. Its diameter at its equator is about 7,521 miles (12,104 kilometers), versus 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers) for Earth. From Earth, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky after our own Moon.

   How much light does Venus receive?

   • The cloud cover is such that it reflects more than 60% of the solar light Venus receives, leaving the surface with typical light levels of 14,000 lux, comparable to that on Earth "in the daytime with overcast clouds". The equivalent visibility is about three kilometers, but this will likely vary with the wind conditions.

   Could solar energy be collected from Venus?

   • Venus would also need to be cooled down from the scorching sun using some kind of  sun shade, which has the side effect of collecting solar energy for potential human or robotic use. The sun-observing Solar Orbiter spacecraft makes regular flybys at Venus, taking measurements of the planet's magnetic field as a side project. (Image credit: ESA)

   So a panel's rating is based on 1,000 watts per square meter. In orbit this is a little stronger 1361 ⁠watts per square meter. Venus's solar radiance is about 2613.9 watts per square meter. A panel rated at 100W on earth, would produce 136 watts in space and 261 watts around Venus.
