The Solar System: Venus

Venus


     Venus, the second planet from the sun, is 68 million miles from the sun, but is hotter (900° F) than Mercury, because of its thick clouds. You can't travel to Venus because of the extreme heat, but if you could, you would weigh about the same on you as do on Earth.
