Scientific paper

A joint analysis of the topography and nonequilibrium part of the gravitational field of the Venus was carried out for spherical harmonics with n = 3-18. The characteristics of the crust-mantle boundary and of the strain-compression stresses in the crust were revealed for a series of realistic models of Venus with allowance for the asthenosphere. In general, the crust-mantle boundary of Venus is sufficiently smooth. The stresses vary from + 600 bars (strain) to - 700 bars (compression) as a function of the model of the planet's interior.
