Venus

The planet  Venus with its dense atmosphere  of  Carbon Dioxide and some   other amounts of Nitrogen and other gases.    The surface has a   pressure of  90 atmospheres,  with  a  temperature  of at  least   460˚C.  There is  also volcanism here,   Because so little of the sunlight reaches the ground,  the world would have a gloomy yellow look to it, as described in the painting here.  We are looking out over a sandy plain on the eastern side of    Ishtar Terra, with the Maxwell Montes rising in the  distance.    This continent sized area rises 3 km over the surrounding plains.  These sands may well have formed the floors of ancient seas that could have existed earlier in the planets history.
