No. There are no oceans, rivers, or lakes on Venus.
All of the liquid water on Venus was apparently lost long ago. The solar radiation disassociates water, and the hydrogen was blown off by the solar wind, because Venus has practically no planetary magnetic field. There is still a tiny percentage of water vapor bound as sulfuric acid (rain) in the sulfur dioxide clouds around the planet.

BeauYes, some planets have a hydrosphere, which is a layer of water or ice covering their surface. Earth is a prime example of a planet with a hydrosphere, as approximately 70% of its surface is covered by water. Other planets like Mars and Europa also have evidence of water on their surfaces or beneath their icy crusts.
No. The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Due to the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (more than half a mile) under the ocean.

Is wind a force of the hydrosphere?
No, wind is not a force of the hydrosphere. Wind is a part of the atmosphere, which is separate from the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere includes all the water on Earth, such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater.
What consists of all the earth's water on the surface in the ground and in the air?
hydrosphere
Rivers lakes and streams are part of the earths what?
Part of earth's hydrosphere
Are glaciers hydrosphere or?
no
What layers of the earth is unique among the terrestrial planets?
The outermost layer of the Earth, the lithosphere, is unique among terrestrial planets due to its tectonic activity and surface features shaped by plate movements. This layer includes the crust and upper part of the mantle and plays a crucial role in Earth's geology and topography.
