The period of rotation round an axis makes about 57 hours... V it is surrounded by extremely dense atmosphere from carbonic
acid and carbonic oxide in which clouds of crystal ammonia float... Now studying of Century
It is made from the several time and constant artificial companions two of which belong AN the USSR. A number of attempts

(Abrosimov, Nisidzima, Sokolovsky, Shi Fen Th, etc.) and to undertake direct research of its surface has not crowned

Bulls has looked at a colour photo of Venus - on a barhatno-black background the yellowish disk touched by blue and

planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranium, the Neptune and Venus.
Venus was among the first objects of attention of terrestrial researchers.
Its affinity to the Earth and to the Sun, known similarity of its some physical characteristics with terrestrial and at the same
time some authentic data on its structure attracted a total absence to it mezhplanetnikov first of all.
