What Is It Made Of?
Venus is one of the solar system's rocky planets, along with Earth and Mercury. The planet has an iron core, which is covered by a rocky layer. This rocky layer has a lot of lava, which has been generated by the many volcanoes on its surface.
Venus is an extremely unpleasant place. The bright white light seen from Earth is a result of sunlight being reflected off the clouds that completely cover the planet's surface. These clouds are made of sulfuric acid, which is an extremely dangerous substance. The average temperature on Venus is around 480 degrees Celsius, which is hot enough to melt lead. Also, the clouds on Venus have created at atmosphere that is the same as being 800 meters underwater on Earth. The air pressure would be enough to crush some submarines. Finally the winds on Venus are almost always faster than a tornado, averaging around 380 kilometers. per hour. The few spacecraft that have managed to land on Venus have lasted less than an hour before the heat and air pressure have melted and crushed them.
For this reason, a lot of what is known about the surface of Venus has come from spacecraft that have studied the planet from a safe distance. Some of the planet's surface has been mapped using radar telescopes on Earth. Venus has a surface that has many mountains (some higher than Mount Everest).

Is neptune rocky or gaseous?
Neptune is actually known as an ice giant so it is ice and gas, not rock. Comment : Yes, it's a bit confusing because it is called a gas giant too. Also it could have some rock in the centre. Still, it's more gas than rock.
Is Jupiter most made out of gas or rock?
Jupiter is primarily composed of gas but may have a solid silicate rock and ice core.
