Geocache Description:

FOR SERIES IMFORMATION PLEASE REFER TO "The Night Sky #1"

My main hobby since I was 5 years old as been astronomy.

A great series for geokids and geoadults alike. So sit back, hold tight and enjoy the journey.


Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has the longest rotation period of any planet in the Solar System and
rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets. It has no natural satellites. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon, reaching an apparent magnitude of -4.6, bright enough to cast shadows at night and, though rare, occasionally be visible in broad daylight. Because Venus orbits within Earth's orbit it is an inferior planet and never appears to
venture far from the Sun; its maximum angular distance from the Sun is 47.8°.

Radius: 3,760 mi
Surface area: 460.2 million km² (177.7 million sq miles)
