The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Venus's atmosphere is composed of 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen, with other chemical compounds present only in trace amounts.
- It is much denser and hotter than that of Earth, the temperature at the surface is 740 K, and the pressure is 93 bar, roughly the pressure found 900 m under water on Earth.
- The atmosphere of Venus supports decks of opaque clouds of sulfuric acid that cover the entire planet, preventing, until recently, optical Earth-based and orbital observation of the surface.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Atmosphere of Venus article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
