Ans : Venus was covered by a huge jungle which never stopped growing as there was excessive rain always. It was just like octopi, clustering up great arms of flesh like a weed, wavering, flowering in that brief spring when the sun appeared. Its colour was the colour of rubber and ash as it was without sun for many years. It was the colour of stones and white cheeses and ink; it was the colour of the moon. There were no vibrant colours due to the absence of the sun.
