Abstract
Love numbers of second order of Venus are calculated with resolving fundamental differential equations of elastic body according to the parameters of the density and the elasticity of material by means of the PVM94-01 Venus model. Meanwhile, the elastic energy of deformation of second order due to the tidal perturbation of the Sun and that due to rotational centrifugal potential are also calculated. The values of Love number provide a basis for model of internal structure of Venus. The numerical calculation of the elastic energy of deformation gives a magnitude evaluation of the perturbation terms to the Hamiltonian expressions in the study of dynamics of the elastic Venus.
