Venus
Kids Learning Tube Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the second planet from the sun
And I'm the slowest rotating one
Of all the planets in our solar system
Now learn and have some fun
243 Earth days is how long it takes
For me to orbit the sun; that makes just one of my days
I'm the hottest planet in our solar system, that's right
The sun sets in my east and comes up in my west
Due to retrograde rotation, I spin backwards the best
I'm the third brightest object to the naked eye
From the planet of Earth when you look up in the sky
Carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds
Is what makes up my atmosphere, and for this, I am very proud
Volcanoes, mountains, craters, and some big lava plains
Are what make up my bumpy surface and my clouds make no rain
I was named Venus after the goddess of love
The Romans gave me my name due to my brightness above
In the song "Venus" by Kids Learning Tube, the musical group presents some interesting facts about the second planet from the sun. The song tells us that Venus rotates the slowest among all the planets in our solar system. It takes 243 Earth days for Venus to orbit the Sun, and one rotation makes one Venus day. Venus is known for its extreme temperature, with the hottest surface in our solar system. According to the lyrics, it can reach a staggering temperature of 900 degrees Fahrenheit.
Another curious aspect of Venus' rotation is its retrograde rotation. It means that Venus rotates "backwards" compared to other planets. Due to this, the sun rises in Venus' west and sets in its east. The song also points out that Venus is the third brightest object visible to the naked eye from the planet Earth.
Furthermore, the lyrics explain that Venus has a unique atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds. Unlike other planets, Venus' atmosphere does not encourage life, making it a challenging planet to explore. The topography of Venus comprises volcanoes, mountains, and craters, which give its surface a bumpy appearance. But its cloudy skies hold no rain.
