  2. Venus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus

    It has a diameter of 12,103.6 km (7,520.8 mi)—only 638.4 km (396.7 mi) less than Earth's—and its mass is 81.5% of Earth's, making it the third-smallest planet in the Solar System. Conditions on the surface of Venus differ radically from those on Earth because its dense atmosphere is 96.5% carbon dioxide, causing an intense greenhouse effect ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System...

    This list contains a selection of objects 50 and 99 km in radius (100 km to 199 km in average diameter). The listed objects currently include most objects in the asteroid belt and moons of the giant planets in this size range, but many newly discovered objects in the outer Solar System are missing, such as those included in the following ...

  4. Orbit of Venus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_of_Venus

    [1] [2] The low eccentricity and comparatively small size of its orbit give Venus the least range in distance between perihelion and aphelion of the planets: 1.46 million km. The planet orbits the Sun once every 225 days [ 3 ] and travels 4.54 au (679,000,000 km; 422,000,000 mi) in doing so, [ 4 ] giving an average orbital speed of 35 km/s ...

  7. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The Jiffy is the amount of time light takes to travel one femtometre (about the diameter of a nucleon). The Planck time is the time that light takes to travel one Planck length. The TU (for time unit) is a unit of time defined as 1024 μs for use in engineering. The svedberg is a time unit used for sedimentation rates (usually

    Venus currently has a surface temperature of 450℃ (the temperature of an oven’s self-cleaning cycle) and an atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide (96%) with a density 90 times that of Earth’s.

  9. Angular diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_diameter

    an object of diameter 725.27 km at a distance of 1 astronomical unit (AU) an object of diameter 45 866 916 km at 1 light-year; an object of diameter 1 AU (149 597 871 km) at a distance of 1 parsec (pc) Thus, the angular diameter of Earth's orbit around the Sun as viewed from a distance of 1 pc is 2″, as 1 AU is the mean radius of Earth's orbit.
