In this video I will discuss the terrain and color of the surface of Venus. It was very difficult to “see” the surface of Venus because the Venus' thick atmosphere. It was with flyby that we were able to discover that Venus is permanently covered in a thick layer of clouds. We used radar imaging to “see” that 80% of the surface is covered smooth planes with very little elevation difference..
