Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth is and the sunlight
reaching Venus is tvice as powerful as that reaching the Sun
than the Earth. However
, it has also been found that Venus,
which is covered in thick dloud, reflects twice as much
sunlight as the Earth does. So it is quite possible to imagine
that Venus might not be too hot to support life and even to
picture it as the home of falo-haired Venusians chasing
across the Rying saucers.
Unfortunately, this attractive idea doesn't stand up to close
examination instead of spinning anti-clockwise like most
other planets. Venus revolves clockwise and it tums so
slowly that the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east 59
days later. This means that during the immensely long
Venustan day the temperature has time to reach 450
degrees centigrade easily hot enough to melt tin or lead
Moreover, the polar axis is almost vertical, so there are no
seasons
All in all then, Venus turns out to be a dramatic though
extremely inhospitable place and song with Mars, Jupiter
and Satur, has to be added to the list of planets that are
incapable of supporting human life

Answers
Well I guess I will just answer all of these and u can pick which ever u find is better. I m sry, I m just a very indecisive person.
a) Venus revolves clockwise and it tums so slowly that the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east 59 days later. This means that during the immensely long Venus tan day the temperature has time to reach 450 degrees centigrade easily hot enough to melt tin or lead. Moreover, the polar axis is almost vertical, so there are no seasons. All this add up to the conclusion that Venus's surface is hot.
b) Venusians are the aliens that may exist on Venus. They are filo-haired aliens that chase across the Raying saucers.
c) The most unusual thing about Venus is that it revolves clockwise rather than anticlockwise like other planets.
d) Sun takes 59 days to set in Venus.
e) The climatic conditions of Venus are extreme and seasons doesn't exist in there. Adding to this, the Sun sets in 59 days and all these reasons together make Venus dramatic and extremely inhospitable place and incapable of supporting human life, just like Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE!!
