   With the hottest surface in the solar system, apart from the Sun itself, Venus is hotter even than the innermost planet, charbroiled Mercury. To outlive the short-lived Venera probes, your rambling sojourn on Venus would presumably include unimaginably strong insulation as temperatures push toward 900 degrees Fahrenheit (482 Celsius).

   Nov 8, 2024 · All About Venus. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech. Even though Venus isn't the closest planet to the Sun, it is still the hottest. It has a thick atmosphere full of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and clouds made of sulfuric acid. The gas traps heat and keeps Venus toasty warm.

9. People also ask

   Why does Venus follow a different path across the Sun?

   • The person on the North pole sees Venus following one path across the Sun. The person on the South pole sees Venus follow a slightly higher path, one that's shifted a little to the north. Because we see the Sun as a circle, these two different paths will have different lengths.

   Why is Venus a smear of light?

   • 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.

   Why is Venus always visible after sunset?

   • These angles explain why Venus is always visible either just after sunset or just before sunrise (except for the few days when it lies in front of or behind the Sun.) Venus can never be directly overhead after dark, for this would require it to lie to the left of the red line, which it can never do.

   What would we see if we were seeing Venus?

   • The chemistry of the upper atmosphere with its clouds controls what our eyes would see if we were seeing Venus, and the false-color views of the beautiful planet that are often shown reflect the ultraviolet (not visible to human eyes) variations that include a mystery absorber.
