The name, what it is and means discovery
The planet is named Venus which came from a Roman goddess of love and beauty. As the Roman goddess of love , according to the sources the goddess Venus was born fully from the sea. Her father was Uranus made with Saturn, they believed that when blood fell into the sea mixed with foam which created Venus. She was known for her love and beauty and had many men lovers. Venus has on temple called Venus Gentrix (Venus the Mother) which is in Captoline Hill.Even though one could ever get the credit for how Venus was ever discovered,after researching several website I found that: Jeremiah Horrock was an English astronomer who was the first to demonstrate that the moon moved around the Earth in a orbit.

Its orbit is 108,200,000 km (0.72AU) from the sun. Venus is a special planet because of how it rotates on its axis. Unlike many planets Venus spins it the opposite direction than the others. Because its rotation is extremely slow and its rotating in the wrong direction scientist believe that something must have collided with it to change its original rotation. Venus is the third brightest object in the Earth’s sky and also the closest planet, its so close that they call it sister of Earth. The orbit of Venus is 225 days , a day on Venus (solar day) would take 117 days on …show more content…
If a human was to land on Venus they wouldn’t be able to breathe because of the hot thickness of the atmosphere, instead they would end up suffocating which leads them to instant death. The clouds on Venus is made up of sulfuric acid, the air of Venus is very dense that the nitrogen make up more than ¾ of the terrestrial atmosphere. That causes a greenhouse effect that heats the planet that makes it hotter than Mercury. The pressure of an human on the surface would be the almost the same as the deepest part of the earth's sea. The rocky core of Venus created a lot the gas gravitation. The toxic clouds shield the planet from bombardment by all except from the meteorites. In 2006 the Venus express space shuttle was sent around the orbit of Venus by the European space agency that was sending back information of Venus. The Spacecraft is suppose to be there for 500 Earth days but the journey has been extended several times. There are more than 1,000 volcanoes or volcanic centres larger than 20km have been on the surface of Venus. Many people thought that Earth was this tropical world just like earth but it turn out to be the opposite of that. The Sulphuric acid clouds that cover up Venus make it hard to view the surface from outside its atmosphere.
