A full projection map of Eve as of version 0.17 and above
Eve is the second planet from Kerbol, and only available in versions 0.17 and higher. It is purple in appearance. It has one small asteroid moon called Gilly.
Eve is the closest planet to Kerbin and the easiest to reach, requiring the least Delta-V of any planet. Having a similar size to Kerbin gives it a large gravity well and a thick atmospheric composition makes landings easier.

Topography
Eve has large oceans of an unknown composition and large, flat continents with a few mountain peaks, and a large crater in the western hemisphere.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere begins at about 100 KM.
Natural Satellites
Eve's only natural satellite is the tiny asteroid Gilly which has been captured long ago.
