What is NOT so great about Rice University? Unlike some other specific college threads where there are questions from people trying to decide whether or not they want to go there, here it is (obviously?) a foredrawn conclusion that Rice is the be-all, end-all.
Atmosphere: The surface temperature of Venus is around 890 degrees F, the hottest average temperature in the Solar System. This is due to a runaway greenhouse effect. The atmosphere of Venus is composed of 97% CO2, 2% N2 and less than 1% of O2, H2O and CH4 (methane).Since CO2 is a major greenhouse gas, the radiation from the Sun is trapped in the atmosphere of Venus producing an extremely high surface temperature.he atmosphere of Venus is composed of 97% CO2, 2% N2 and less than 1% of O2, H2O and CH4 (methane).

Temperature of Venus. While the weather of Venus is a swirling, chaotic scenario; the temperature is intense and drastically hot. In fact, the surface of Venus is so hot, it will melt lead rapidly. The average temperature of Venus is a whopping 464 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to 867 degrees Fahrenheit.This temperature barely varies from area to area, or night to day. While the actual ground of the planet is severely hot, the temperature decreases rapidly moving upward.he average temperature of Venus is a whopping 464 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to 867 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature barely varies from area to area, or night to day.
