Er, no, Venus is not a gas planet. In many ways its similar to Earth. It has an atmosphere, but the atmosphere is very hot and acidic makes Venus not a nice place to spend your vacation.<P>Neptune is indeed gaseous. It seems to have a lot of methane which accounts for its blue/green color. It has several moons (8 I believe at last count). <P>And I *am* an astronomer. Well, an amateur one anyway... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">
