Venus is a rocky, barren planet and appears to be the second planet from its star in the outskirts of the North Galaxy, next in from [[Earth]].<ref name="dbschp53">{{Cite manga|Series=Super|Chp=53}}</ref><ref group="note">Based on Venus' location in ''Dr. Slump'' and knowledge of the planet by other Earthlings across various works by Akira Toriyama, for the purposes of this article we will consider Venus to indeed be the second planet from the Sun in all of these works.</ref>

==Inhabitants==

Venus appears to be uninhabited in the ''Dr. Slump'' television series until Earthling astronauts land on the planet.

In ''[[Kintoki: Toki of the Golden-Eyed Tribe]]'', [[Merluza]] lies about being a "Venusian" (金星人 ''Kinsei-jin''), stating that she does not even turn on the fan until the temperature reaches 1,000 degrees.<ref name="kintoki"></ref><ref group="note">In Japanese, the boy who approaches Merluza states that Venus is 400度, or 400 degrees Celsius; Merluza states she does not turn on the fan until it reaches 1000度, or 1,000 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are adapted as 800 and 1,000 degrees (presumably Fahrenheit) in Viz's English translation.
