The surface of Venus is characterized hypsometrically and compared with those of the other terrestrial planets and the moon. The hypsometric map constructed by the U.S. Geological Survey (1981) is used to determine the areas and average heights of 22 regions; the results are presented in a table and a relief map based on 5-deg trapezia; and the proportions occupied by mountains, hilly regions, and lowlands are found to be 7.4, 54.8, and 37.9 percent, respectively. The distribution of plains on Venus, Mars, Mercury, and the moon is found to show a distinct similarity (with a predominance in the northern hemispheres) to the distribution of continents on earth.
