What is the planet Venus made of?

Question

don't just say rock

Answer 1

venus is a rocky world with a very hostile enviroment,, its temperatures reach over 900 degree F and is composed of sulffiric acids and valcanos, if you come into my 360 and search thru my blogs you will find some pictures of venuses surface that was taken when russia landed their spacecraft venera 13 and venera 14 on its surface,, it took pictures for aproximatly 50 minutes before it was crushed under the heavy pressure in the atmousphere,, here is a link to the surface of venus;; enjoy,

Answer 2

it's already been said venus is made of the same things as the earth, iron nickel and various types of rock, the big difference is our atmospheres. Venus' atmosphere has about 90% more greenhouse gases than the earth does. Basically if you buy the global warming scenario, think of venus as the same thing as earth, but super globally warmed lol

Answer 3

Venus is covered with an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light. Venus has the densest atmosphere of all the terrestrial planets, consisting mostly of carbon dioxide, as it has no carbon cycle to lock carbon back into rocks and surface features, nor organic life to absorb it in biomass. A younger Venus is believed to have possessed Earth-like oceans, but these totally evaporated as the temperature rose, leaving a dusty dry desertscape with many slab-like rocks. The water has most likely dissociated, and, because of the lack of a planetary magnetic field, the hydrogen has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 92 times that of the Earth. Venus' surface was a subject of speculation until some of its secrets were revealed by planetary science in the twentieth century. It was finally mapped in detail by Project Magellan in 1990–91. The ground shows evidence of extensive volcanism, and the sulfur in the atmosphere may indicate that there have been some recent eruptions. However, it is an enigma why no evidence of lava flow accompanies any of the visible caldera. There are a low number of impact craters, demonstrating that the surface is relatively young, approximately half a billion years old. There is no evidence for plate tectonics, possibly because its crust is too strong to subduct without water to make it less viscous. Instead, Venus may lose its internal heat in periodic massive resurfacing events. The adjective Venusian is commonly used for items related to Venus, though the Latin adjective is the rarely used Venerean; the archaic Cytherean is still occasionally encountered. Venus is the only planet in the Solar System named after a female figure, although three dwarf planets – Ceres, Eris and Haumea – also have feminine names.

Answer 4

Its composition is probably similar to earth's. That is the solid part.
A rocky crust and a iron/nickel core.

Answer 5

The solid body in similar to Earth, but it has a horrible atmosphere!

Answer 6

The same materals as Earth.

Answer 7

venus is made of rock and dust/dirt.
