how many moons does Venus have?
138439
Venus was once thought to possess a moon, named Neith after the chief goddess of Sais, Egypt (whose veil no mortal raised), first observed by Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1672. German astronomers called the moon Kleinchen (literally "tiny"), and sporadic sightings by astronomers continued until 1892. These sightings have since been discredited, and are thought to have been either spurious internal reflections, mostly faint stars that happened to be in the right place at the right time, or maybe even asteroids passing by the planet. Venus is now known to be moonless.

It's visible from Earth at night with the naked eye so it has been known since ancient times. It appears as one of the brightest "stars" in the sky and is most noticeable in the early evening or early morning - it is sometimes called "The Morning Star" or "The Evening Star". Venus' orbit is shorter that the Earth's (only 225 Earth days) this means that it 'overtakes' the Earth every 584 days as it orbits the Sun. As it does so, it goes from being the 'Evening star', visible after sunset, to being the 'Morning star', visible before sunrise.\n\nSeveral other planets are visible at night without the aid of telescopes - in particular Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. These planets were observed to behave differently in their movements across the sky due to the fact that they are orbiting the Sun whilst "normal stars" remain static and their apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement. For this reason the visible planets, including Venus, were known as "Wandering Stars".\n\nPythagoras is usually credited with recognizing that the morning and evening stars were a single body in the 6th Century BC, although he thought that Venus orbited the Earth. In the 17th Century Galileo found that Venus showed phases like the Moon's which he correctly stated could be possible only if Venus orbited the Sun.

venus is earth's sister because its size and shape. because of global warming, it has no liqiud water but only water in the air. venus is said to be like earth but it has taken two different routes. i believe that one day earth will become liek venus..

Saturn has atleast 18 moons, more than any other planet\nJupiter, the largest planet could contain 1300 earths\nThe moon is approximately 4.6 billion years old

Dude, you are being uber lazy...\n\nif I type in "interesting facts about venus" into Google the first page it comes up with is\n\nhttp://www.mixed-plate.com/SPACE/VENUS/facts.html\n\nread it..

The total number of known moons of Jupiter now stands at 63, currently the most of any planet in the solar system. Many additional tiny moons may exist that have not yet been discovered.

Sol (our solar system) consists of 9 planets, over 140 moons (to date) and several small cosmic objects (comets and asteroids).\n\nMercury (0 moons)\nVenus (0 moons)\nEarth (1 moon)\nMars (2 moons)\nJupiter (63 moons as of 2004)\nSaturn (34 moons)\nUranus (21 named moons, 6 unnamed moons)\nNeptune (8 named moons, 5 unnamed moons)\nPluto (1 moon)\n\nThere have been discoveries of more "planetary objects" beyond Pluto, but they have not been declared to be planets in the same sense as the others.

Gravity on Venus is about 91% of the earth gravity.\nA day on Venus lasts 243 earth days. This, together with the Carbon Dioxide rich atmosphere (sort of a very high greenhous effect) makes temperatures high both in nighttime as well as daytime.\nVenus also rotates in the opposite direction compared to the earth.\nVenus is the hottest planet in our Solar System. Its cloud cover traps the heat of the sun (the greenhouse effect), giving Venus temperatures up to 480°C. The mean temperature on Venus is 726 K (452°C = 870°F).

he Very Large Telescope (VLT) has caught a remarkable image of the planet Uranus circled by some of its moons.\n\nThe rings of the planet - which is 3,000 million kilometres away from Earth - are clearly displayed in the image.\n\nThe rings are almost undetectable from Earth in visible light.\n\nThe VLT is located at the European Southern Observatory's Paranal Observatory in Chile.\n\nThe image was obtained in the near-infrared, and includes seven of the planet's moons.\n\nVLT\nVLT is based at Paranal in Chile\nTwo of the moons in the picture, Puck and Portia, were only found in the 1980s as the Voyager probe prepared for its flyby of the planet.\n\nUranus, which is at a distance from the Earth equivalent to 20 times the distance between the Earth and Sun, was first spotted by William Herschel in 1781.

"Venus has a slow retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates from east to west, instead of west to east as most of the other major planets do. (Uranus, and Pluto also have retrograde rotation, though Uranus's axis, tilted at 97.86 degrees, almost lies in its orbital plane.) A slow retrograde rotation is thought to have developed as a consequence of tidal forces, friction, and solar heating of Venus' thick atmosphere. [2] If the Sun could be seen from Venus' surface, it would appear to rise in the west and set in the east for a day-night cycle of 116.75 Earth days (Venus' mean solar day), and a Venusian year would thus last 1.92 Venusian "days". At the equator, Venus' surface rotates at a mere 6.5 km/h (4 mph).\n\nIn addition to this unusual retrograde rotation, the periods of Venus' rotation and of its orbit are synchronized in such a way that it always presents the same face toward Earth when the two planets are at their closest approach (5.001 Venusian solar days between each inferior conjunction). This may simply be a coincidence, but there is some speculation that this may be the result of tidal locking, with tidal forces affecting Venus' rotation whenever the planets get close enough together —although the tides raised by Venus on Earth are vanishingly small."\n-Wikipedia\n\nwow i didnt know that.... thanks for this interesting info/question

Venus is the second planet from the sun, and is similar in size to earth. It is the hottest planet in the solar system (despite Mercury being closer to the sun) because of the greenhouse effect of its thick Carbon Dioxide atmosphere. Venus spins in the opposite direction to the other planets (known as retrograde motion) and spins so slowly that the time taken to spin (a day) is much longer than the time taken to orbit the sun (year). It has a daytime temperature of 475 degrees C (enough to make things glow red), constant volcanic activity, and sulphuric acid rain (which evaporates before it hits the ground due to the high temperature). Venus is completely covered in cloud, and its hellish conditions were only discovered when spacecraft travelled there, as there was no other way of seeing through to the surface.

Venus is often called Earth's twin because the two planets are close in size, but that's the only similarity. The thick clouds that cover Venus create a greenhouse effect that keeps it sizzling at 864°F. Venus, named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, is also known as the “morning star” and “evening star” since it is visible at these times to the unaided eye. Venus appears as a bright, white disk from Earth.\nDistance from Earth: At its closest, Venus is 26 million miles (41,840,000 km) away
