Knowing various celestial bodies in the composition of the solar system is one of the materials of the lessons of Natural Sciences (IPA). One of these celestial bodies is a planet.
This time we will talk about the planet Venus. Launch from the textbook compiled by Team KP IPA titled UniverseVenus is the brightest celestial body after the sun and the moon.
The planet Venus has many names, namely the morning star because it has a bright light, the eastern star or morning star because it appears in the east before sunrise, and the west star or evening star because it is also visible in the west after sunset.
“In the morning, Venus is clearly visible as a star on the eastern horizon, so many people call it the eastern star or the eastern sunrise. Meanwhile, in the afternoon, Venus is also clearly visible, so it is often called the morning star. “Joko Untoro of the Indonesian Teacher Team wrote in the book she compiled. Title Smart Book for Elementary / MI 5 in 1.
The distance of the planet Venus from the sun is 108 million km, while the diameter of Venus is 12,102 km. Venus takes 243 days to rotate on its axis and it takes 225 days to rotate around the sun, Mother.
Rotation of the planet Venus
The rotation of Venus is very slow, the time required for the rotation is longer than the time of its revolution. Venus always has a cloudy atmosphere, so it is difficult to know the nature of its surface.
The atmosphere of Venus is made up of 96% carbon dioxide, 3.4% nitrogen, 0.1-0.5% water vapor, and the rest are other gases.
“Venus has an atmosphere composed of gas and dense fog in the form of acid vapor and dust, so its surface is difficult to observe. Venus’s very hot surface temperature is also a factor that makes observation difficult,” he added. Joko Untoro.
The surface temperature of Venus reaches 475 degrees Celsius. The very hot surface temperature of Venus causes the planet Venus to contain no water, so there is no life. Venus also does not have a satellite Mother.
“The warm atmosphere of Venus is caused by the greenhouse effect that comes from the carbon dioxide gas which is very high in the atmosphere,” said Joko Untoro.
In 1978, the United States launched the Pioneer orbiter to map the surface of Venus. Then in 1989 the Magellan plane which also managed to circle around Venus.
