Surface of Venus, artwork
Surface of Venus. Artwork of a 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 captures the surface of Venus, revealing a rocky landscape that is both mysterious and awe-inspiring. The planet's extreme temperatures make it the hottest surface in our solar system, with scorching heat reaching nearly 500 degrees Celsius. This incredible phenomenon can be attributed to Venus' dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, which acts as a trap for the Sun's intense heat. Located approximately 108 million kilometers from the Sun, about two-thirds of Earth-Sun distance, Venus appears slightly smaller than our own planet. Its mountainous terrain and cloudy atmosphere create an otherworldly scene that sparks curiosity and fascination. The illustration showcases the terrestrial beauty of this enigmatic planet. Its rocky features stand out against a backdrop of swirling clouds, giving us a glimpse into one of the most inhospitable environments in our cosmic neighborhood. As we explore this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the wonders that lie beyond our own world. It serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about distant celestial bodies and their unique characteristics. This stunning print by Science Photo Library invites us to ponder upon the mysteries hidden within our vast universe while appreciating the artistry behind capturing such extraordinary scenes from afar.
