Video: Unusual midnight in hell Venus

Scientists first studied the half-night of hell planet Venus and found it to be completely different in the daytime.

Venus takes 225 days to spin around the Sun and 243 days to rotate around its axis. As a result, day and night on this planet is longer than Earth.

Static waves are thought to form above steep mountains.

Venus's atmosphere includes cold winds that blow 60 times faster than the planet's rotation speed. This super-fast speed is said to be the same in both halves, but new data shows more turbulent and unusual winds at midnight.

Midnight clouds form a large, rippling pattern that appears in clouds of daytime and is dominated by static ripples . This type of wave is stationary and does not move in the atmosphere.

Static waves are thought to form above steep mountains, but they have recently been discovered in the planet's southern hemisphere, which has low altitudes.
