Thought I'd share some facts about the planet Venus :P Also known as the Planet of love and Beauty Early civilisations thought Venus was two different bodies, called Phosphorus and Hesperus by the Greeks, and Lucifer and Vesper by the Romans. This is because when its orbit around the Sun overtakes Earth’s orbit, it changes from being visible after sunset to being visible before sunrise. The average surface temperature is 462 °C (410 degree's hotter than any of Earth's deserts), and because Venus does not tilt on its axis, there is no seasonal variation. The dense atmosphere of around 96.5 percent carbon dioxide traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect. Earth and Venus are very similar in size with only a 638 km difference in diameter, Venus having 81.5% of the Earth’s mass. Both also have a central core, a molten mantle and a crust. So yeah Venus is beautiful but deadly :P #PersonalUpdates #Venus #facts
