Geocache Description:

You’re looking for an ammo box.
The cord on the disc represents the diameter of Venus at a scale of 1:17million.
Don’t forget to copy the value number written on the sticker edged in blue located inside the back cover of the logbook.
You will need this number to find GC15YAM Solar System Challenge.

At first glance, if Earth had a twin, it would be Venus. The two planets are similar in size, mass, composition, and distance from the Sun. But there the similarities end. Venus has no ocean. Venus is covered by thick, rapidly spinning clouds that trap surface heat, creating a scorched greenhouse-like world with temperatures hot enough to melt lead and pressure so intense that standing on Venus would feel like the pressure felt 900 meters deep in Earth's oceans. These clouds reflect sunlight in addition to trapping heat. Because Venus reflects so much sunlight, it is usually the brightest planet in the sky.
