Comparison between Earth and Venus - Earth and Venus compared - Comparison at the scale...

IMAGE number
PIX4629857
Image title
Comparison between Earth and Venus - Earth and Venus compared - Comparison at the scale of the sizes of Earth and Venus, seen here without their atmosphere. The size of the Venus planet is roughly the same as that of the Earth. This to-scale image suggests how the Earth and Venus might appear without their atmospheres. Venus' diameter is 86% that of the Earth's. It has 82% the mass. If you weigh 180 pounds on the Earth, you would weigh 163 pounds on Venus. Venus is about three-quarters the Earth's distance from the Sun. While Venus is roughly the same size and density as the Earth, it is otherwise a very different world. Earth's surface is a varied one, with liquid water covering three quarters of its surface. Those areas not under water have been highly modified by plate tectonics, weather, and life itself. Venus on the other hand is far too hot to host liquid water. Volcanoes, massive lava flows and the occasional impact crater characterize its surface. Latest observations suggest that Venus may periodically resurface itself completely - and catastrophic - through massive, planet-wide volcanic eruptions. The last such resurfacing “” event”” appears to have occurred about 500 million years ago
