Venus Sensory Details Worksheet

Read the passage. Look for words and phrases that appeal to the senses. Then answer each question using details from the passage.

From the window of the lander, Venus looked like a dim amber lamp behind layers of clouds. When the hatch opened, the explorer saw a rocky plain stretching toward distant hills. A steady hiss came from the lander’s cooling vents, while gusts of wind rumbled across the ground. The explorer’s thick gloves pressed against a warm metal rail, and the suit’s boots crunched over rough stones. A sharp, sour smell seemed to cling to the air outside the helmet. Even through the protective suit, the explorer could feel heat pressing close. Venus was beautiful from space, but its harsh conditions made every step a careful one.
