Description I’m currently working on a series of illustrations combining scientific facts about the solar system with funny or ironic messages.
What do you think of these? i’m considering printing postcards for Comic Con Germany.

Venus takes about 243 Earth days to complete a single rotation. So a day on Venus is longer than on any other planet in our solar system. This is even more amazing compared to its year of roughly 224 Earth days. Venus also rotates from East to West - in the opposite direction to most other planets.  This is called retrograde rotation. This may have been caused by a collision with an asteroid early in its development.
No wonder Venus appears to be pretty peeved. Potential visitors should be prepared for rain made of sulfuric acid and will be crushed and burned simultaneously: Pressure compares to being 1000km below sea on Earth with temperatures high enough to melt lead.

I think that's a really nice idea. Usually I read scientific facts but as soon as I read them they slip from my mind again. Learning it like this might make it stick

Thank you. I'm going to try a few more and take them for a walk on different sites.
