Venus may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures for up to 2 billion years of its early history, according to computer modeling of the planet’s ancient climate by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. Second planet from the Sun and our closest planetary neighbor, Venus is similar in structure and size to Earth, but it is now a very different world. Venus spins slowly in the opposite direction most planets do. Its thick atmosphere traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar system—with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Glimpses below the clouds reveal volcanoes and deformed mountains.
Cache is NOT at posted coordinates. To get the coordinates for the cache you will have to answer questions about Venus below and solve the following
N 43 03.ABC W 076 07.XYZ
On Venus,the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
- True (ABC=107)
- False (ABC=355)Venus spins backwards, with the sun rising in the west and setting in the east.
A day on Venus lasts longer that 1 Earth year.
- True (XYZ=112)
- False (XYZ=515)One day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days.
