The Soviet Union landed on Venus in 1970. The Mariner 2 sent back information on Venus's atmosphere and rotation. The Venera 7 stopped working after about an hour because of high temperatures and the high pressure. All three of theb Venera probes photographed and mapped the surface of Venus. In 1990-1994 the space probe Magellan got 98% of Venus. The probe also a detailed map of Venus, which was also 98%. On Earth, someone that weighs 110 pounds would weigh about 90.7 pounds on Venus. If you weighed 170 pounds you would weigh between 70 pounds and 154 pounds.
