Your sketch of Venus is now complete. Color your drawing. We've shaded ours realistically in various orange and yellow hues, ranging from yellow-orange to red-orange.
Color Your Venus Drawing

If the brown and orange hues of Venus remind you of a desert, it is with good reason. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, "Venus is extremely hot, dry, and in other ways so forbidding." It is covered in a layer of clouds 42 miles thick.
These clouds reflect about 85 percent of the sunlight that strikes the planet, but the airborne material responsible for the orange or yellow color has not yet been identified.
