What I'm looking for is a distance in kilometers or miles. For example, when I fly in an airplane at 40,000 feet (about 12000 m), I can begin to see the curvature of the earth, but the view I have of the earth is a tiny piece of the total. Also, I know if I'm on the moon I can see the earth as a full disk.
However, for all the characteristics these two planets have in common, average temperature is not one of them. Whereas the Earth has an average surface temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, the average temperature of Venus is 460 degrees Celsius. That is roughly 410 degrees hotter than the hottest deserts on our planet. In fact, at a searing 750 K (477 Â°C), the surface of Venus is the hottest in the solar system. Venus is closer to the Sun by 108 million km, (about 30% closer than the Earth), but it is mainly due to the planetâs thick atmosphere.
The air pressure at Venus' surface is about 92 times that of the Earth. The enormous amount of CO 2 in the atmosphere creates a strong greenhouse effect, raising the surface temperature to around 470 Â°C, hotter than that of any other planet in the Solar System.
