Venus Model

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 280.9 Hz, 77 cents flat of D4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

Tap it to whip the clouds around.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and nearly the same size as the Earth. Its dense atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, traps heat beneath thick clouds, so it is the hottest planet of all, about 465 degrees Celsius at the ground, even hotter than Mercury.

Venus spins backward compared with most planets, and very slowly, but its cloud tops race all the way around in about four Earth days. Tap it and the clouds whip around backward: the wide band at the middle goes around twice and the caps at the poles once, so the patterns stretch where they meet, then line up again.

Made in Splashery. Its code is MIT.
