    • 1 Venusian year is 225 earth days.

    • One rotation is 243 earth days, the longest day of any planet in the solar system.

    • Temp: 890 degrees F or 477 degrees Celsius.

    • No moons.

    • Diameter: 7,520.8 mi (12,103.6 km).

    • Mass: 81.5% of Earth’s.

    • A 100-pound person would weigh 91 pounds on Venus.

    • The atmosphere is mainly carbon dioxide with clouds of sulfuric acid.  Both of these are greenhouse gases and cause the temperature on Venus to be higher than any other planet.
