Venus

Venus — planet, explore its interactive 3D model in Cosmoscope.

Explore Venus in a live 3D Solar System. Follow its calculated motion and inspect real astronomical data, distances and orbital facts.

Earth’s evil twin: nearly the same size, wrapped in a crushing CO₂ atmosphere with sulfuric-acid clouds. It rotates backwards, so slowly that its day outlasts its year.

Explore Venus in 3D

Cosmoscope places Venus in the Solar System using astronomical ephemeris or orbital elements, updated for the simulation time. Explore its calculated motion, distance and orbital facts in the interactive 3D view. Accuracy depends on the orbital model and its valid time range.
