Hello, It’s the Funny One here. I’m doing the planets now but I’ll also be doing some random stuff on my blog (not everyday will be the same idea). Today’s picture is of Venus. I’m running away from the lightning. On June 5th, Venus passed directly between the Earth and the sun, and was seen as a small dot gliding slowly across the face of the sun. Historically, this rare alignment is how they measured the size of our solar system. I never saw that. You never see anything cool like that in Scotland. Anyways, because Venus and the Earth are almost the same size, you would actually weigh almost exact same on either planet. If you weighed 70 pounds (32 kg) on Earth, then you would weigh 63 pounds (29 kg ) on Venus. Venus is actually a dim world of very intense heat and volcanic activity. It’s very similar in structure and size to Earth. Venus’ thick, toxic atmosphere traps heat in a runaway “greenhouse effect.” The scorched planet has temperatures hot enough to melt even lead. The surface of Venus is a dry landscape with slab-like rocks and periodically refreshed by volcanism.
