what is the surface temperature of venus?
604720
The surface of Venus averages about 900F, which is hotter than the average temperature on Mercury!  (Mercury is hotter on the sunny side (1100F), but cooler on the dark side (about -400F).  \n\nIt is the thick clouds of carbond dioxide that cause the high temperatures, and there are other bizarre effects.  Even at high noon it is perfectly dark.  But if it were light, the horizon would appear to curve up in a sort of fisheye effect, because of the atmospheric density.  It's about 90 times the air pressure on Earth.\n\nThe Soviet Union had the record for Venus proves.  They attepted numerous landings.  The first eight were burned up in the atmosphere.  The ninth one finally landed on the surface.  It transmitted data for almost an hour before it was destroyed by a combination of heat, pressure, and acidic rain.

It's the planet Venus.\nMore about it at http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/28nov_venusshadows.htm

You need to do a lot of studying to learn about many things.  Venus is different colors depending on where it is and we are.  We do not get anything from the planet.  No person has been there yet.  It is so hot there we would melt.

Venus is brighter ,but the space station when you saw it might have been turn in a way that it was'nt getting a big reflection.Maybe it could be the time of year because of the axis of the earth .Just a guess.

Of the nine bodies currently recognized as planets, \nPluto is the farthest from the Sun (and thus\npresumably the coldest).  We don't know the exact\nsurface temperatures, but some estimates are:\n\n1) -228 to -238 C   (see reference #1)\n2) -205C (see reference #2)\n3) -233° to -223° C (see reference #3)

Mars is quite cold as usual, ranging from -120 degrees Celsius to -60 degrees Celsius (-185 to -75 degrees Fahrenheit).  Wind speeds range from near calm to 130 km/h or 80mph.

Venus is closer to the Earth than Mars is.

Energy. That is the concern over the greenhouse effect, that energy will be trapped in the atmosphere raising temperatures. The average surface temperature of the earth would be -18 degrees zero without a greenhouse effect and 72 degrees zero without a biosphere which counteracts the Greenhouse effect.

below freezing point of water.\n\nThe average temperature on Saturn (at the cloud tops) is -185° C. (88 degrees Kelvin)

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).

This is going to depend on a lot of different things. Barometric pressure, atmospheric conditions, relative humidity, altitude, amount of fuel, fuel pressure...all these things come in to effect when looking for the "exact" temperature. However, i think on average its somewhere between 700-750F.

Possibly, but i believe venus is a better candidate.  The higher gravity of venus (very earthlike) would allow it to sustain an atmosphere like ours if we can solve 2 other problems...more solar radiation, and a retrograde day that is months long.\n\nThe L.O.V.E. project (Life On Venus Enhancement) I made this up when i was a kid:  solution 1 - put lightweight, but very large reflectors into orbit around venus, on the day side they will block light in a 24 hour pattern, on the night side they will provide sunlight in the same pattern.\n\nsolution 2 - release into orbit around venus a cloud of particles to reduce the solar radiation and also use the reflectors/shades described above.\n\nAs the temperatures approach earthlike conditions, introduce water (capture a comet probably, or change it's orbit subtly to get it to venus.)\n\nIt's possible there is substantial water on venus tied up in some chemical situation or another, we don't know enough about it.\n\nand btw, for the other answers claiming mars is too hot, um, no?

The mean surface temperature of Mercury is 452 K (178.8 °C /353.9 °F), but it ranges from 90 K (-183.15 °C /-297.7 °F) to 700 K (426.85 °C /800 °F); by comparison, the temperature on Earth varies by only about 150 K (150 °C /270 °F). The sunlight on Mercury's surface is 6.5 times as intense as it is on Earth, with the solar constant having a value of 9.13 kW/m².

Which means your mass on Venus is 15 kg, and your weight on Venus is 147 * .91 = 134 lbs.

Mercury:  Orbital period, 0.241 years.  Rotation, 58.6 days.\nVenus:  Orbital period, 0.615 years.  Rotation, 243 days.\nEarth:  Umm... duh.\nMars:  Orbital period, 1.88 years.  Rotation, 1.03 days.\nJupiter:  Orbital period, 11.86 years.  Rotation, 0.41 days.\nSaturn:  Orbital period, 29.45 years.  Rotation, 0.44 days.\nUranus:  Orbital period, 84.02 years.  Rotation, 0.72 days.\nNeptune:  Orbital period, 164.8 years.  Rotation, 0.67 days.\nPluto:  Orbital period, 247.9 years.  Rotation, 6.4 days.\n\nHow would the day and year affect us?  Negligibly.\n\nFor the orbital period, this would really only affect any "seasons" on the other planets.  However, given their lack of any true "climate", it doesn't seem like it would make much difference.  Mercury is close enough to the sun that its temperature year-round is basically the same relative to human normals, i.e. inhospitable.  The same is true for all planets (and moons) from Jupiter and outward; we would simply see them as incredibly cold, and any colonies there would need to generate such a large percentage of their own heat that any seasonal changes in temperature would be insignificant.  Venus' thick atmosphere would make its surface about equivalent year-round.  We would notice seasonal changes in Mars... if it had any free surface water with which to create a climate.\n\nFor rotation, modified "day length" would normally be thought to affect our sleep patterns.  However, this again would be insignificant on any planet except for Earth.  Mercury and Venus rotate so slowly that we would sleep and wake dozens and hundreds of times, respectively, within a single "day" or "night", making the effect moot.  Mars' rotation is almost exactly that of Earth.  All planets beyond Mars are so distant that the light from the sun would be negligible, and our primary light sources would be artificial, so we would completely ignore the planetary day/night periods.

The interior of the Earth reaches temperatures of 5650 ± 600 kelvins [3] [4]. The planet's internal heat was originally generated during its accretion (see gravitational binding energy), and since then additional heat has continued to be generated by the decay of radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium, and potassium. The heat flow from the interior to the surface is only 1/20,000 as great as the energy received from the Sun.\n\n5650 Kelvin = 5377 Celsius = 9710 Fahrenheit\n\nThe Sun's temperature:\nSurface temperature  5780 K\nTemperature of corona  5 MK\nCore temperature  ~13.6 MK
