The thick atmosphere has made it hard to see the surface, and until the twenty-first century, many people thought things might live there. The pressure on Venus' surface is 92 times that of Earth. Venus has no moons. Venus spins very slowly on its axis and it spins in the opposite direction to the other planets. | The thick atmosphere has made it hard to see the surface, and until the twenty-first century, many people thought things might live there.

| − | + | At the surface of '''Venus''', the atmospheric pressure is 9.2MPa, over 90 atmospheres. This is substantially greater than the back-pressure which standard rocket motors are able to generate; a [[Delta-glider]] landed on Venus will not be able to take off (at least if the [[complex flight model]] is in use). | |
