About it

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and nearly the same size as the Earth. Its dense atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, traps heat beneath thick clouds, so it is the hottest planet of all, about 465 degrees Celsius at the ground, even hotter than Mercury.

Venus spins backward compared with most planets, and very slowly, but its cloud tops race all the way around in about four Earth days. Tap it and the clouds whip around backward: the wide band at the middle goes around twice and the caps at the poles once, so the patterns stretch where they meet, then line up again.
