Abstract

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.
