Venus diameters

dimension	length

This unit represents the diameter of Venus.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun.

The planet is so bright it has been mistaken for a star and can even be seen even in broad daylight.

Its dense atmosphere is composed for the most part of carbon dioxide, creating a powerful greenhouse effect giving Venus record high surface temperatures with an average of 464 °C.

Venus has also a very peculiar rotation. First, it is extremely slow. A venusian day lasts 2802 hours (more than 116 Earth days) or almost half a venusian year. And second, the planet rotates in opposite direction to all the other planets in the solar system.

Value

The mean diameter of Venus is 12103.6 kilometers.

Note: The values used in this converter are borrowed from the Planetary Fact Sheets.

The International System of Units

The International System of Units or SI (from the French Système international (d'unité)), also called metric system in the U.S., is a coherent system of units that was published 1960. It is official in nearly every country.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence générale des poids et mesures) is tasked with overseeing the SI.
