The dense veil of clouds lets Venus appear in a bright light. It is the only planet in the solar system where sun rises at west and sets at east. In a height of 60 km (the clouds' upper border) temperature decreases to -30°C, whereas the greenhouse effect heats the surface up to 400°C. Storms on Venus's surface can attain a speed of 300 to 400 km/h. Rift Halley is 3 to 4 km deep.
