The high concentration of these gases cause the extremely high surface temperature of the planet: approximately 460\u00b0C at a pressure that is about 92 times of Earth&#8217;s atmopshere. The only  images of the planet&#8217;s surface were made by the Venera probes, which only lasted a few hours due to the immense heat and pressure. The planet is fairly close to us at an average distance of 41.4 million km from Earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thick atmosphere reflects a lot of light so it appears as a very bright star giving it the nicknames of &#8216;morning-star&#8217; and &#8216;evening-star&#8217;. It also has a reputation of being mistaken for UFO&#8217;s due to its almost reflective shine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The planet is easy to see in a telescope but offers little detail: only a bright surface is visible. The fun thing about Venus is that it has phases similar to our Moon.
