Venus Spins Backwards

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]Venus spins backwards.

[00:00:02]If you could see the sun [music] from its surface, it would rise in the west and set in the east.

[00:00:08]And it spins so slowly that a single day on Venus lasts longer than a year.

[00:00:13]The surface temperature is over 450°.

[00:00:15][music] The atmosphere is 90 times heavier than Earth's.

[00:00:21]And it rains acid [music] from clouds that have hidden the ground for billions of years.

[00:00:26]Venus is [music] our closest neighbor.

[00:00:29]And the most hostile world we have ever visited.

[00:00:32]Nothing on Venus moves [music] the way you would expect.
