Introduction (from Wikipedia)Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is the fifth largest of the eight planets in the solar system, and the largest of the terrestrial planets (non-gas planets) in the Solar System in terms of diameter, mass and density.Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky.Surface area510,072,000 km² [note 2] 148,940,000 km² land (29.2 %) 361,132,000 km² water (70.8 %)4.60 × 108 km² (0.902 Earths)Volume1.0832073 × 1012 km39.38 × 1011 km³ (0.857 Earths)Mass5.9736 × 1024 kg4.868 5 × 1024 kg (0.815 Earths)Mean density5.5153 g/cm35.204 g/cm³Equatorial surface gravity9.780327 m/s² 0.99732 g8.87 m/s2 0.904 gEscape velocity11.186 km/s10.46 km/sPronunciation/ɝːθ//ˈviːnəs/AdjectiveTerrestrial, Terran, Telluric, Tellurian, EarthlyVenusian or (rarely) Cytherean, VenereanEquatorial rotation velocity1,674.4 km/h (465.1 m/s)6.52 km/h (1.81 m/s)Aphelion152,097,701 km 1.0167103335 AU108,942,109 km 0.728 231 28 AUAxial tilt23.439281°177.3°Perihelion147,098,074 km 0.9832898912 AU107,476,259 km 0.718 432 70 AUAlbedo0.3670.65 (geometric) or 0.75 (bond)Semi-major axis149,597,887.5 km 1.0000001124 AU108,208,930 km 0.723 332 AUEccentricity0.0167102190.006 8Surface pressure101.3 kPa (MSL)93 bar (9.3 MPa)Sidereal Rotation period (day duration)0.99726968 d 23h 56m 4.100s-243.018 5 earth daysOrbital period365.256366 days 1.0000175 yr224.700 69 day 0.615 197 0 yr 1.92 Venus solar dayAverage orbital speed29.783 km/s 107,218 km/h35.02 km/sComposition of atmosphere78.08% Nitrogen (N2) 20.95% Oxygen (O2) 0.93% Argon 0.038% Carbon dioxide About 1% water vapor (varies with climate)~96.5% Carbon dioxide ~3.5% Nitrogen 0.015% Sulfur dioxide 0.007% Argon 0.002% Water vapor 0.001 7% Carbon monoxide 0.001 2% Helium 0.000 7% Neon trace Carbonyl sulfide trace Hydrogen chloride trace Hydrogen fluorideAverage surface temperature287 K, 14 °C735 K, 461.85 °CInclination1°34'43.3" to Invariable plane3.394 71° to Ecliptic 3.86° to Sun’s equator 2.19° to Invariable planeLongitude of ascending node348.73936°76.670 69°Argument of perihelion114.20783°54.852 29°Satellites1 (the Moon)NoneMean radius6,371.0 km6,051.8 ± 1.0 km (0.9499 Earths)Sunrise and Sunset directionSun rises in the east and sets in the westSun rises in the west and sets in the eastHabitabilityCurrently Habitable; Carbon Dioxide levels increasing, however.Uninhabitable due to extremely high atmospheric pressure, extreme heat, lack of water, and atmosphere composed of primarily Carbon Dioxide.PollutionHigh Carbon Dioxide Pollution steadily increasing global temperatures A.K.A.
