Venus is Mars with heavy cloud cover? .
The surface of Venus looks more like Mercury - but Mercury has no atmosphere at all.
.
To: Verginius Rufus
Mars has little atmosphere because the minimal magnetic field allowed solar wind to sweep its atmosphere away.
Venus also has minimal magnetic field, is much closer to the Sun and therefor a much stronger solar wind flux, but has a very, very thick atmosphere.
Go figure...

I messed up. That is not Mercury.
It is the same image as from my previous post - but upside down.
Trust NOTHING you find on the internet...
To: GaltAdonis; Verginius Rufus; MtnClimber
No - that is actually the image from Red Badger's post #4.
Okay - Too many errors on my part.
I'm going to quit posting for the rest of today.

What sort of photos did the 1960s Russian Venera craft send back, do you know? I always thought it was pretty impressive that anything could land there at all and survive, even if only for a few seconds or minutes.

I agree. The Soviets actually managed to land a half dozen or so landers on Venus in the 1970s that sent back quite a bit of data. In fact, the first Venera was the first craft to successfully land on another planet.
