On Parameters of the Earth-Like Model of Venus

Аннотация

A brief review on the history of constructing Earth-like models of the Venusian interior is presented. Available observational data are analyzed. An explanation for the anomalously large ratio of the quadrupole gravitational moment J₂ to the small parameter of Venus q is proposed. Thus, estimates were obtained for the precession constant and principal moments of inertia for the Earth-like model of Venus.
