Venus also presents several significant challenges to human colonization. Surface conditions on Venus are difficult to deal with: the temperature averages around 464 °C (737 K; 867 °F), [9] higher than the melting point of lead, which is 327 °C (600 K; 621 °F)C.
Global topographic map of Venus, with all probe landings marked (red: returned images; with additional black dot: analyzed samples). There have been 46 space missions to the planet Venus (including gravity-assist flybys). Missions to Venus constitute part of the exploration of Venus.

Table Mountain is a narrow, 18 mi (29 km)-long, sinuous, flat-topped ridge separated by erosional saddles into a series of mesas that extend from Lake Tulloch to just west of Columbia, California in Tuolumne County, California. It is just over 1,100 ft (340 m) in elevation at its southern end and just over 2,000 ft (610 m) in elevation at its ...
Baltis Vallis / ˈ b ɔː l t ɪ s ˈ v æ l ɪ s / is a sinuous channel on Venus ranging from 1–3 km (0.62–1.86 mi) wide and ~6,800 km (4,200 mi) long, slightly longer than the Nile and the longest known channel of any kind in the Solar System. It is thought the channel once held a river of lava.
Map of California topography and geomorphic provinces California's major mountain ranges. California is a U.S. state on the western coast of North America. Covering an area of 163,696 sq mi (423,970 km 2), California is among the most geographically diverse states.
Global surface of Venus. The mapping of Venus refers to the process and results of human description of the geological features of the planet Venus.It involves surface radar images of Venus, construction of geological maps, and the identification of stratigraphic units, volumes of rock with a similar age.
It also made global maps of Venerean surface temperatures, and attempted to observe signs of life on Earth from a distance. Venus Express successfully assumed a polar orbit on April 11, 2006. The mission was originally planned to last for two Venusian years (about 500 Earth days), but was extended to the end of 2014 until its propellant was ...
