Venus isn't much farther away than Mars, so why do we have only a scant few photos of its surface?
There aren’t many good photos of Venus, and even fewer have been captured from the planet’s surface. Distance alone can’t explain the relative lack of pictures of Earth’s second-nearest neighbor.
The first landing occurred when the Venera 7 touched down on Venus in 1970. The Venera 8 landed two years later. The Venera 9 orbited and touched down on Venus in 1975. The Soviet Union then sent another nine crafts to Venus, with the last, the Vega 2, touching down in 1984.Image credit: Russian Academy of Sciences. Processing: Ted Stryk, humanity’s best photos on Venus were captured in the early 1980s by the Venera 9, Venera 10, Venera 13, and Venera 14.
The intense heat on Venus, along with its crushing atmospheric pressure, is what makes Venus’s surface so inhospitable — the surface temperature ranges from about 820 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit . Mars is far from easy to explore, but its average surface temperature of -81 degrees Fahrenheit poses significantly less challenge to engineers.
