Venus: yellowish-white. Earth: light blue with white clouds; oceans and light scattered by the atmosphere make Earth prevailingly blue. Mars: red-orange. Jupiter: has orange and white bands; the white bands are colored by ammonia clouds, while the orange comes from ammonium hydrosulfide clouds. Saturn: pale yellow; ammonia haze covers the whole planet and obscures redder clouds below. Uranus: light blue; the color comes from methane clouds. Neptune: light blue; like in the case of Uranus the color is due to methane. Pluto: light brown; Pluto has never been visited by spacecraft, so the light brown color is an expectation based on the presence of dirty methane ice on the surface. Also, I would like to add that the assignment of colors is somewhat subjective. For example, one person's blue might look more like green to somebody else. Astronomers rarely care about that, and use precise spectra when they need to obtain information from an object's color. http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/about-us/58-our-solar-system/planets-and-dwarf-planets/planet-watching/249-what-color-is-each-planet-intermediate Response last updated by gtho4 on Nov 28 2022.

Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon, and can be seen in the morning or evening sky, depending on whether it lies to the west or east of the Sun - The appearance is brilliant white. It is always entirely covered in bright clouds of sulphuric acid - An illustration of Venus minus its clouds shows it as a sort of orangey-brown colour. Source: 'Stars and Planets' by Ian Redpath.

It is the brightest natural object in the night sky and its color is white with a blend of yellow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus Apr 13 2008, 9:05 AM neopat1000 Answer has 1 vote neopat1000 Answer has 1 vote. Planets have the colors that they have because of what they are made of and how their surfaces and/or atmospheres reflect and absorb sunlight. Venus is entirely covered with a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere and sulphuric acid clouds which give it a light yellowish appearance. Mar 02 2009, 6:07 PM FREE!
