  1. Venus By: Sarah A. Hughes

  2. Focus questions • HOW FAR IS VENUS FROM THE SUN? • IF IT IS REALLY HOT ON VENUS THAN IS THERE ANY WATER? • DOES IT RAIN ACID ON VENUS?

  3. How Far is venus from the sun? Venus is 63 million miles away from the sun.

  4. HOW FAR IS VENUS FROM THE SUN? • Venus is 63 million miles from the sun. Venus’ rotation is unusual in that it is (both) very slow and retrograde. (Retrograde means going backwards). A day on Venus is 243 Earth days. A year on Venus is shorter than its day (it is 225 Earth days).

  5. IF IT IS REALLY HOT ON Venus than is there any water? • Venus is covered by thick clouds. • But there is very little water on Venus. • So the clouds aren’t made of water droplets instead they are made up sulfuric acid.

  6. Sulfuric acid can burn your skin off.

  7. IF IT IS REALLY HOT ON VENUS THAN IS THERE ANY WATER? • Venus probably once had a large amount of water like Earth, but it all boiled away.

  8. Venus’ atmosphere Explanation VISUAL • The lighter atmosphere of Venus allowed oxygen to escape from the atmosphere. Lots of hydrogen then combined with sulfur, a heavier element, to form clouds made up of sulfuric acid instead of water. The acid clouds cover a high level of the planet which traps in the heat from the sun making it the hottest planet. It can rise above 450 degrees.

  9. reflection • You should do this next year.  • This project was sort of fun except where I didn’t have a lot of time to do the power point. The reason is that I was late to start because I couldn’t get on the computer and I can’t work on it at my house.
