The surface composition of Venus is believed to be similar to Earths, largely silicon based rock. Its difficult to say exactly what the surface is as space craft cannot survive long enough on its surface to be able to analyse and send back detailed information.

The atmosphere of Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide. Thick clouds of sulfuric acid completely cover the planet. That is why Venus can reach nearly 900 degrees Fahrenheit.

Beneath the clouds is a planet made of rocks, including a "mantle" like on Earth. There is also probably a metallic core which may be liquid.

Like all planets, venus is not made of a single element. Rather, all naturally ocurring elements are present on or in Venus. Venus is similar in composition to Earth. The crust is likely primarily composed of silicon, oxygen, aluminum, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. The core is primarily iron and nickel.
