Lightning on Venus, artwork
Lightning on Venus. Artwork of lightning over the rocky landscape on the surface of the planet Venus. This is the hottest planetary surface in the solar system, with temperatures of nearly 500 degrees Celsius. This is due to its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere that traps the Suns heat. Venus is 108 million kilometres from the Sun, around around two-thirds of the Earth-Sun distance, and is slightly smaller than Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Lightning on Venus" showcases the dramatic beauty of the rocky landscape on the surface of our neighboring planet. The image captures a powerful storm, with bolts of lightning illuminating the cloudy atmosphere and striking against the mountainous terrain. Venus, known for its extreme temperatures, boasts the hottest planetary surface in our solar system, reaching scorching temperatures of nearly 500 degrees Celsius. This intense heat is a result of Venus' dense carbon dioxide atmosphere that effectively traps the Sun's heat. Located approximately 108 million kilometers from our star, Venus sits at around two-thirds of Earth-Sun distance. Despite being slightly smaller than Earth, this terrestrial planet offers a unique and awe-inspiring environment. The illustration skillfully portrays both the harshness and grandeur of this otherworldly realm. The artist has expertly captured not only the electrical energy coursing through Venus' stormy skies but also emphasized its rugged rock formations that dominate its landscape. As we explore more about our solar system and delve into exometeorology – studying weather patterns beyond Earth – images like these provide us with glimpses into distant worlds and expand our understanding of planetary science. This stunning print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder that even amidst extreme conditions, nature can create breathtaking scenes worthy of admiration and artistic interpretation.
