What is the color of Venus?

Answer 1

redish/orange

Venus is the second planet from the Sun. A terrestrial planet, it is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet", as the two are very similar in size and bulk composition.

Venus has an atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide and a small amount of nitrogen, with a pressure at the surface about 90 times that of Earth (a pressure equivalent to a depth of 1 kilometer under Earth's oceans); its atmosphere is also roughly 90 times more massive than ours. This enormously CO2-rich atmosphere results in a strong greenhouse effect that raises the surface temperature more than 400 °C (750 °F) with temperatures at the surface reaching extremes as great as 500 °C (930 °F) in low elevation regions near the planet's equator. This makes Venus's surface hotter than Mercury's, even though Venus is nearly twice as distant from the Sun and only receives 25% of the solar irradiance (2613.9 W/m² in the upper atmosphere, and just 1071.1 W/m² at the surface). Owing to the thermal inertia and convection of its dense atmosphere, the temperature does not vary significantly between the night and day sides of Venus, despite its extremely slow rotation. Upper atmosphere winds circling the planet approximately every 4 Earth-days help distribute the heat to other areas on the surface.

The solar irradiance is so much lower at the surface of Venus because the planet's thick cloud cover reflects the majority of the sunlight back into space. This prevents most of the sunlight from ever heating the surface. Venus's bolometric albedo is approximately 60%, and its visual light albedo is even greater. Thus, despite being closer to the Sun than Earth, the surface of Venus is not as well heated and even less well lit by the Sun. In the absence of any greenhouse effect, the temperature at the surface of Venus would be quite similar to Earth. A common conceptual misunderstanding regarding Venus is the mistaken belief that its thick cloud cover traps heat, as the opposite is actually true. The cloud cover keeps the planet much cooler than it would be otherwise. The immense quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere is what traps the heat by the greenhouse mechanism.

There are strong 300 km/h (200 mph) winds at the cloud tops, but winds at the surface are very slow, no more than a few miles per hour. However, owing to the high density of the atmosphere at Venus's surface, even such slow winds exert a significant amount of force against obstructions. The clouds are mainly composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets and cover the planet completely, obscuring any surface details from the human eye. The temperature at the tops of these clouds is approximately −45 °C (−50 °F). The mean surface temperature of Venus, as given by NASA, is 864 °F (464 °C). The minimal value of the temperature, listed in the table, refers to cloud tops —the surface temperature is never below 400 °C (750 °F). (This makes the surface temperature hot enough to melt lead.)

The atmosphere also contains hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbonyl sulfide (COS). Hydrogen sulfide reacts with sulfur dioxide, which implies that some process must be creating these components. It is unclear how the carbonyl sulfide could be formed--it is often a sign of biological activity. Some have suggested that microbes exist in the clouds (which also contain droplets of water), and produce these components from water, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide.

Answer 2

Through a telescope, Venus appears as a yellowish-white body.

The surface color is not known for certain because the Venusian atmosphere filters out blue light. The Russian Venera spacecraft has given us our only photo of the surface that can be seen at this website -->

Answer 3

I believe she is a pale pink. Very fetching.
If you mean the planet, the answer is "hazy."
Venus is covered with clouds of sulphurous clouds that probably have a yellowish-white caste to the them, though no human eye has gotten close enough and vid-images transmitted from probes are color-interpreted (that is, the tints you see are artifacts, not "true color").
Hope that helps.

Answer 4

The air is white-yellow and the ground is probably brown-red.

Answer 5

BbOy_RiDdLeR u just copied and pasted, anyone can do that!
(hint, hint dont give the best answer to that person)

Answer 6

Since the goddes is dead. Must be dirty.
