Mass and Density of Venus
The mass, size and density of Venus is similar to that of Earth’s. Mercury is the only other planet that has a density similar to Earth’s. Venus is the only planet which is similar in more ways then one. Because of this, Venus has been referred to as Earth’s twin.
The diameter of Venus is 7,521 miles or 12,104 kilometers. This is close to the 7,926 miles or 12,756 km diameter of the Earth. Venus’ mass is roughly 80 percent that of Earth’s. 95% of Earth’s density is the density of Venus. The force of gravity of both planets is similar. Someone who weighs a hundred pounds on Earth would probably weigh 88 pounds on Venus. Because of these and other atmospheric similarities Venus as well as Mars are two of the planets where colonization by humans may occur in the future.
Venus’ mass is four fifths of that of Earth. Its mass is 4.868 × 1024 kg or 0.815 Earths and its total volume is 9.38 × 1011 km³ or 0.857 Earths. Contrary to popular belief, the size of a planet does not play any role in determining the density of the planet. Planets such as Uranus and Neptune may be large but its density is relatively small compared to its large size. This is because these planets are primarily gas planets and therefore have more gas than solid surface on the planet. Venus, like Earth and Mercury have masses that are compact and are therefore smaller than that of other planets.
The Planet Venus
The Density of Venus is about 5.204 g/cm^3, while Earth is about 5.513 g/cm^3. Venus could be terraformed in the future but would require quite a bit more work than Mars would. Also, oxygen does exist in the atmosphere at about 30ppm. Due to the lack of a magnetosphere, O2 is able to escape into space. The atmosphere below 11 km is no longer considered a gas, but rather a supercritical fluid.
it dosnt even tell u the density of venus it just goes on with a bunch of crap
Thank you, Rick. There *is* intelligent life, somewhere. 🙂
@Planet Facts, you need to check some of your spelling, as well as your planet facts.
What “atmospheric similarities” are you talking about? The atmosphere of Venus is 97% carbon dioxide and surface temperatures soar to 860 degrees Fahrenheit. There is little, if any, oxygen and water cannot exist as a liquid on its surface. The air pressure is the same as being under a half-mile of water. Venus will never be a place where humans colonize. Sorry:-(
You need to put the exact density not just a percentage
is eny one there
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! 🙂
I LIKE THE PLANTS IN SPACE SO PRETTY<3
you guys r the best!!!
i want to get complete information about venus like tempereture,vetinletion etc
