Lecture 34: Venus Unveiled
Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is perpetually veiled behind\nopaque clouds of sulfuric acid droplets atop a hot, heavy, carbon\ndioxide atmosphere. In size and apparent composition, however, it is a\nnear twin-sister of the Earth. Why is it do different? In this lecture\nI review the basic properties of Venus, and examine the similarties and\ndifferences with the Earth.
