Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet in the Solar System - more than 1,600! An extreme greenhouse effect warms the planet's surface up to 870˚F - hot enough to melt lead. Winds there reach the speed of 450 miles per hour in the middle cloud layer -- faster than the speediest tornadoes on our planet. The pressure on Venus’s surface is 90 times higher than that at sea level on Earth. And r...
