Scientific paper

The characteristics of the planet Venus are discussed, including planetary dynamics, zonal circulation, atmosphere structure, planetary energy balance, and surface properties. Although measurements of Venus' rotational speed, based on radar observations, indicate that the phenomenon of resonance does not exist, an analysis of the relative movements of earth and Venus reveals the existence of a pseudo-synchronization between their rotations. The consequences of Venus' dense atmosphere are considered, in particular, its effect on the energy balance of the planet and on the variations of temperature and wind gradients. Information on the structure and composition of Venus was obtained through the use of the Pioneer Venus orbiter and Venera probes which allowed analysis through gamma spectrometry and radar observations.
