Geocache Description:


The Planets: Venus

Founded in 1761 by Galileo Galilei, the name "Venus" comes from the Greek (Aphrodite; Babylonian: Ishtar) god. She is the goddess of love and beauty. The planet is so named probably because it is the brightest of the planets known to the ancients. The first spacecraft to visit Venus was Mariner 2 in 1962. Venus formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Like Earth, the rocky core of Venus formed first, and then gathered lighter elements around it to form its crust and mantle. Venus has no water because of the absence of an ozone layer. Without that, water is exposed to massive amounts of UV radiation. Venus takes 224 earth days to complete a rotation. We can all see Venus on a clear morning. That is why it is called the morning star. Venus is also the second brightest object in the sky. Venus is also about the same size as Earth (sister planet). Note: this cache is NOT at posted coords. Always make sure be safe and have fun :)
