OrbitalMap a live chronicle of orbit

In the Solar System

Venus

Nearly the Earth's twin in size and mass, and nothing like it anywhere else. A carbon-dioxide atmosphere ninety times the pressure of ours holds the surface at about 465 °C - hotter than Mercury's, and the same all over, day side and night - under permanent cloud of sulphuric acid. It turns backwards, and so slowly that its day is longer than its year.

Radius
6,052 km
Turns once in
243 d (backwards)
