   Dec 11, 2019 · Now superheated by greenhouse gases, Venus’ climate was once more similar to Earth’s, with a shallow ocean’s worth of water. It may even have subduction zones like Earth, areas where the planet’s crust sinks back into rock closer to the core of the planet. “Venus is like the control case for Earth,” said Smrekar.

   Did you ever recite the old phrase, “My very educated mother just served us nachos?” That saying can help you remember the order of the planets from closest to farthest from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. The first letter of each word is the first letter of each planet.

   People often notice a planet when it appears near the Moon. They will ask, “what was that bright ‘star’ next to the Moon last night?” The Moon and planets seem to traverse a ring around the Earth called the zodiac. These are the stars in the famous zodiac constellations like Aries, Virgo, and Sagittarius. The Moon monthly passes through all twelve ...

   Venus is a cloud-swaddled planet named for a love goddess, and often called Earth’s twin. But pull up a bit closer, and Venus turns hellish. Our nearest planetary neighbor, the second planet from the Sun, has a surface hot enough to melt lead. The atmosphere is so thick that, from the surface, the Sun is just a smear of light.

   Jun 23, 2022 · Mercury circles the sun every 88 Earth days, Venus every 225 days, Mars every 687 days, Jupiter every 12 years and Saturn every 29 years, so these alignments occur on an irregular schedule.

   How long is a year on Venus?

   • The Venusian year — the time it takes to orbit the sun — is about 225 Earth days long. Normally, that would mean that days on Venus would be longer than years. However, because of Venus' curious retrograde rotation, the time from one sunrise to the next is only about 117 Earth days long.

   What does Venus tell us about our planet?

   • Though their approaches vary, the group agrees that Venus could tell us something vitally important about our planet: what happened to the superheated climate of our planetary twin, and what does it mean for life on Earth? Venus isn’t the closest planet to the Sun, but it is the hottest in our solar system.

   What is the difference between a year and a Venusian year?

   • That means on Venus, the sun would appear to rise in the west and set in the east. On Earth, the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west. The Venusian year — the time it takes to orbit the sun — is about 225 Earth days long. Normally, that would mean that days on Venus would be longer than years.

   What was Venus like in the past?

   • It is possible that Venus was more like Earth in the past, with habitable surface temperatures and oceans of water perhaps up to 300m (984ft) deep (Earth's mean ocean depths are 2700m/8850ft), but over time, the histories of these planets were driven apart. There are key differences between modern Earth and Venus.

   Is Venus a rotator?

   • Venus is also a slow rotator relative to Earth and in effect, its solar day is longer than the time it takes (one Venus year) to go around the sun, and it even rotates backward relative to the other planets. This makes it a very unique planet to compare to our Earth with its 24-hour day and 365.25-day year.

   Is Venus a twin planet?

   • The atmosphere of Venus is heavier than that of any other planet, leading to a surface pressure that's over 90 times that of Earth — similar to the pressure that exists 3,300 feet (1,000 meters) deep in the ocean. Venus is sometimes referred to as Earth's twin, but the pair have little in common. (Image credit: Future)
