Surface and Climate

• Venus' terrain is dominated by volcanic activity and the moving of tectonic plates, just like earth.
• Venus has a very thick atmosphere, making the pressure incredibly high and causing a greenhouse effect on the planet which makes it unbelievably hot.
• Venus stays around the same temperature of about 400 degrees fareinheit but can fluctuate to be even higher.
• Venus has a very slight tilt of about 3 degrees, making seasons not very different from one another.

Must-haves

• You must have a space suit that can protect you from the dangerous temperatures and high pressures of Venus.
• You will need the habitat you are staying in to be strong enough to protect you from the crushing pressure on the outside.
• You will need an oxygen tank for the atmosphere in Venus is made up of mostly acids; you will also want a mask to protect you from inhaling these acids.
• You will need a good enough supply of food and water for there will be none on the planet.

Major Attractions

• Venus contains no moon but does have a quasi-satellite, which is an asteroid that orbits the sun but stays close to the sun, which was named the Zoozve.
• Venus is filled with valleys and mountains that are covered in volcanoes.
• There are two more important mountains: the Ishtar Terra and the Aphrodite Terra that stretch along the equator.
• It has a Tesserae layer, a layer with ridges and grooves that make it seem as if the hot temperatures have melted the stone.

Tours and Activities

• You can climb the many volcanoes located on Venus' surface and research the differences between them.
• You can test the Tessarae region and figure out exactly why it has the pattern it does.
• You can stargaze and try to find the quasi-satellite, Zoozve.
• You can explore the two different kinds of domes, pancake domes and tick domes, which are results from the lava from volanoes.
