What Does Venus’S Interior Look Like?

Venus, a rocky planet with similar size, mass, and density to Earth, is believed to have an interior similar to Earth’s. Its crust is significantly older than Earth’s constantly changing surface, and it likely has a mantle and a core that is rocky and somewhat liquid. Venus does not have its own internally generated magnetic field, but instead has an induced magnetic field created by atmospheric interactions.

The interior of Venus is thought to contain a solid/liquid core of metal 3,000 km across, surrounded by a mantle of rock 3,000 km thick. The planet’s crust is mostly basalt and is estimated to be 6 to 12 miles (10 to 20 km) thick, on average. The geology of Venus is the scientific study of the surface, crust, and interior of the planet Venus. It is the closest to Earth in terms of mass and most like it in terms of mass, but has no magnetic field or internal dynamo.

The interior of Venus is made of an external core made of liquid iron and nickel, and an internal core made of solid iron and nickel. Venus lacks an internal dynamo and its weakly induced magnetosphere is caused by atmospheric interactions. Both Venus and Earth harbored oceans in their younger days, but one is now an inferno, while the other is the only known world to play host to an inferno.

The interior of Venus is likely very similar to that of Earth, with an iron core about 3000 km in radius and a molten rocky mantle comprising the majority of the interior. The core is thought to be molten at the center, with a temperature about 5200 K, and has 8 moles of impurities there.

What are 5 unique characteristics of Venus?

Venus, a planet further away from the Sun, has a day that is longer than a year, takes 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis, and is hotter than Mercury despite being further away. Venus’ mean temperature is 462°C, attributed to the high concentration of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, which creates an intense greenhouse effect. Heat is trapped in the atmosphere like a blanket, causing the planet’s temperature to be much higher than its proximity to the Sun would suggest. Venus is the second brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon and has 90 times the atmospheric pressure of Earth.

What is Venus core like?

Venus, like Earth, has a similar structure with a core, mantle, and crust. Its size and density are similar to Earth, and since it formed at the same time as Earth, it has been cooling at a similar rate, indicating a partially liquid core. The core is mostly iron, nickel, sulphur, and little to no oxygen.

Venus lacks evidence of plate tectonics at the surface, unlike Earth. The crust on Venus appears locked, similar to Mars, but there is no evidence for recent tectonic activity. Due to its young surface age, it is inferred that the entire planet experienced a global resurfacing event, where the mantle temperatures rise, weakening the crust, and then a large subduction event starts until the entire surface is recycled. This process occurs cyclically on Venus, known as surface in an episodic regime.

Currently, Venus is in a stagnant lid regime, where the mantle convects but the surface does not subduct into the mantle. The surface grows thicker over time as the mantle cools at the surface, and there is no longer any tectonic activity on the surface.

Can humans survive in Venus?

Most astronomers believe that life on Venus would be impossible due to its hostile environment, including its dry climate, hot surface temperature, and thick atmosphere. Even spacecraft that have landed on Venus only survive for an hour before being crushed and melted. However, a few scientists believe that life could exist in the clouds of Venus, as the air pressure on its surface is over 90 times higher than on Earth.

What does the surface of Venus like?

Venus’ surface is a hot and dry place with gently rolling plains, large lowlands, and two large highland areas. It has several mountains, volcanoes, and old lava flows. The highest mountain is Maxwell Montes, over 7 miles high and higher than Mt. Everest. Venus has few craters due to its thick atmosphere, and many meteor craters have been covered by lava flows. Computer-generated views of Venus’ surface are based on radar maps, but the thick atmosphere prevents us from seeing its surface. However, radar can pass through the thick atmosphere, allowing us to explore the surface’s characteristics.

What is the interior of Venus?

A model of Venus’ internal structure based on gravimetric data suggests a 2900km radius core with an external core made of liquid iron and nickel, and an internal core made of solid iron and nickel. Despite the lack of seismological data, the magnetic dipole field on Venus has not been measured, possibly due to its slow rotation or past changes. The question of whether the core is liquid or solid remains open, as calculations of inertial moments are impossible due to Venus’s slow rotation.

Does it rain on Venus?

Does it rain on Venus?

Venus, once a planet with large amounts of water, has become a dry, barren landscape with a significant difference in rotation compared to Earth. Venus rotates in a direction opposite to Earth and takes 243 Earth-days for a complete rotation, while one revolution around the Sun takes 225 Earth days. Magellan’s imaging radar data shows that much of Venus is covered by lava flows, with several large shield volcanoes like Sif Mons. Venus is still volcanically active in a few hot spots, but has been geologically quiet for the past few hundred million years.

The former Soviet Union conducted sixteen Venera missions between 1961 and 1983, including orbiters, landers, and balloon studies of the planet’s atmosphere. In 1985, the Soviet Union missions Vega 1 and Vega 2 conducted flybys of Venus.

Was Venus ever habitable?

NASA scientists have found that Venus may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures for up to 2 billion years of its early history, according to computer modeling of the planet’s ancient climate. The findings, published in Geophysical Research Letters, were obtained using a model similar to the one used to predict future climate change on Earth. The findings suggest that ancient Venus may have been a very different place than it is today.

Does Venus have a solid inner core?

Does Venus have a solid inner core?

Venus’ internal structure and geochemistry are not well understood due to lack of data from reflection seismology or knowledge of its moment of inertia. The planet shares similarities in size and density with Earth, suggesting a similar internal structure consisting of a core, mantle, and crust. Venus’s core is likely partially liquid due to cooling at the same rate, although a completely solid core cannot be ruled out. Venus’s smaller size means lower pressures in its deep interior than Earth’s.

The predicted values for the moment of inertia based on planetary models suggest a core radius of 2, 900-3, 450 km, which aligns with the first observation-based estimate of 3, 500 km. The main difference between Venus and Earth is the lack of evidence for plate tectonics, possibly due to its strong crust making it less viscous. Venus may lose internal heat in periodic major resurfacing events. In 1967, Venera 4 found Venus’s magnetic field to be much weaker than Earth’s, induced by an interaction between the ionosphere and the solar wind, rather than an internal dynamo like in Earth’s core.

What are the internal characteristics of Venus?

What are the internal characteristics of Venus?

Venus and Earth share a high percentage similarity in size and density, with an identical internal structure consisting of a core, mantle, and crust. Venus’s smaller size results in lower pressures in its deep interior, preventing it from cooling. Its dense atmosphere consists of 96. 5 CO2, 3. 5 nitrogen, and traces of other gases, with a mass 93 times that of Earth’s and surface pressure 92 times that of Earth’s. The density at the surface is 65 kg/m3, 6.

5 times that of water, or 50 times as dense as Earth’s at 293 K (20 °C; 68 °F). The CO2-rich atmosphere generates the strongest atmospheric phenomenon within the system, creating surface temperatures of a minimum of 735 K. Venus’ maximum surface temperature is 700 K.

Venera 4 found Venus’ magnetic flux to be much weaker than that of Earth, possibly due to an interaction between the ionosphere and solar radiation, rather than an indoor dynamo like within Earth’s core. There is also a possibility that Venus’ core has already solidified, or that its core is not cooling, allowing the entire liquid part of the core to be at approximately the same temperature.

Is There life in the inside of Venus?

Is There life in the inside of Venus?

Astrobiology is interested in the possibility of life on Venus due to its proximity and similarities to Earth. However, no definitive evidence has been found of past or present life there. The current Venusian environment is extreme compared to Earth’s, making water-based life unlikely on the planet’s surface. Some scientists speculate that thermoacidophilic extremophile microorganisms might exist in the temperate, acidic upper layers of the Venusian atmosphere.

In September 2020, research reported the presence of phosphine in the planet’s atmosphere, a potential biosignature, but doubts have been cast on these observations. As of February 2021, an updated status of studies considering the possible detection of lifeforms on Venus (via phosphine) and Mars (via methane) was reported. NASA announced two new related missions to Venus: DAVINCI and VERITAS in June 2021.

Can we go inside Venus?

Can we go inside Venus?

The surface of Venus is prone to extreme and deadly conditions, making it an unlikely place for human exploration. Robotic spacecraft, made from durable materials, have been more suitable due to their ability to operate without breathing. However, only a few spacecraft have successfully operated on the Venusian surface, with many more failing due to technical issues and harsh conditions.

Future missions to Venus will focus on studying it from orbit, where conditions are more favorable. NASA’s proposed VERITAS mission aims to map the Venusian surface from orbit, achieving higher resolution than ever before. This could provide a better understanding of Venus’ surface than any robotic lander or human mission. However, the mission is facing an indefinite delay due to budget cuts and requires the support of space advocates.

  • The first probe that touched down on Venus lasted 12 minutes before collapsing under the immense pressure and super high temperature. The next one lasted just under an hour unlock Mercury that gets 750 ° on the daytime side and -300 on the night side Venus hovers around 880 2900 degrees night or day Venus revolves very slowly as its day is longer than its year.

  • It’s so interesting Soviet Union conquered Venus on year 1983 and that is in long time on history what sounds amazing. Venus is interesting planet because it’s earth’s sister but why it’s evil sister in my opinion Venus is good sister, Venus is Romen’s Goddes of Love. I believe there would be even microscopic life on Venus. By the way Sou did you saw The Nishimura comet, I didin’t saw that because here in Northen Europe’s Finland is too much of clouds. That article about Venus was really good thank you SOU! 🌍🚀🛰🌑☀️🪐🌠🌌

  • So we just arnt gonna mention the coolest part about Venus, the fact that at a certain elevation. Due to Venus’s atmosphere makeup it has a habitable zone substainable for life in theory if we could could have a floating city😮. Cool article still, but that fact by far draws the most attention to this planet and also explains why most missions are planned at that elevation in Venus’s atmosphere. Cool stuff✅

  • The sound recording was interesting, but what could they possibly have expected to hear on the planet? Also, it’s rather sobering to think of just how hostile a planet like Venus or Jupiter really is to us humans. Not just the lack of breathable air, but the heat and pressure and a caustic atmosphere, and possibly radiation and such. Humans will never walk the surface of Venus without extra heavy-duty protection, and even that may not last very long. Of course, I’m always a little concerned about the photos we see from the surface of Venus and Mars. Are these photos enhanced in some way, or are we seeing exactly what human eyes would see if they were in the same place?

  • If the James Web was looking at our Solar system from light years away, they would herald it as amazing…having 3 rocky planets in the goldilocks zone, thus 3 potentially habitable planets. But it is ultimately a waste of effort unless we find a goldilocks zone planet with a moon like we have to provide stability.

  • Wow, just imagine the loneliness of being on a planet like that, being the only living thing. Perhaps one day a man will know that when we put a man on Mars, we know Venus is out of the question. Somehow the silence is almost calling me, can you imagine, no noise? No lawn mowers going in the summer or snow blowers in the winter. No television blasting advertisements for drugs which have side effects of death, no music blasting from passing cars where the beat of the speakers jar the very pictures on your walls. Just peace. I want to go, I want that silence. Ah well I will have peace when my time on this planet is over. That may not be that long, all those I loved the most have gone on before me and I can feel them calling. The Dr says my cancer is gone, I hope he is right.

  • Remember that observations have only been made of the basic physical plane of Venus, Mars etc. All of the planets (including Earth) have six other physical worlds or planes existing in higher vibrations. ALL of the planets and some of the moons ARE inhabited by beings mostly, but not exclusively humanoid – usually much taller than us and all some millions of years our senior. On the higher vibratory planes the environmental conditions are quite different. Many of the beings in this system are quite capable of living comfortably in what to us would seem quite inhospitable environments. This planetary system, and the whole galaxy is teeming with life. Even the planets and stars are living, evolving beings, as is The Mother Earth beneath our feet. The gross materialistic approach of many ‘scientists’ has blinded them to the reality and wonder of many aspects of manifestation.

  • Why not use a liquid nitrogen cooling system, or a radioisotope power supply, but since that uses heat to generate electricity and the planet already has plenty of that…see where I’m going with this? Why can’t non-reactive materials like glass be used? Of course it would be brittle, but sulfuric acid shouldn’t be able to eat through gold or platinum, and gold is a very soft metal, any cushioning would help. Yeah, that would be expensive but just saying from a best chance standpoint. Bash me if you want must, but I just have to wonder, has anyone thought of these things?

  • In the near future, would a space station orbiting Venus be considered worthwhile? With rotating crews of scientists observing and monitoring experiments below? Venus, closer to the Sun and inside Earths orbit, makes her closest approach to Earth every 7 months. Mars, further from the Sun,beyond Earths orbit, is every 2 years. In mean orbital distances from Earth, Venus is 42 million kms; while Mars is 78 million kms, nearly twice the distance. On the ISS, only hours from Earth, crews perform 6 month missions; for lunar GATEWAY, 3 days from Earth, crew missions of 30 days are forecast. Fastest crewed voyages to Mars take 7-8 months but are bi-annually; Venus journeys would take 3-4 months and be only half-yearly. Could a “window” of 2-3 weeks be avaliable for a small team to crew a Venusian space station? Of course, the Venus mission rockets and spacecraft would be of lunar in-situ origin: built on the Moon; launched for assembly in lunar orbit; fueled with lunar rocket fuel; and launched to Venus from High Earth Orbit (15% cost of Earth built, fueled and launched rockets). A name for the Venusian outpost: ALECTRONA – Greek goddess of the morning.🌒☀️

  • Ahh yes! I remember it well! Hanging out with my son, the beautiful Lucifer IV who was from there. The two gendérs are intersex and two penises as the opposite sex. A double dominant male. The skies a= pink with fluffy clouds floating by.. it became a dumping ground for technology, sadly! I recall when a nanobot infection did weird things, becoming so large that I could see them either my naked eyes! We had/have some bizarre ways to turn tech into natural creatures’snd flora. I was/am known as Machine Goddess, a bionic radio station. I’m known for surprising poor people with blessings and gifts. I miss it! I miss Neptune, my home world, too! Earth is awful in comparison!

  • Venus not anywhere near Mars in respect of being in the line of being next to go through what ‘Earth’ did, (unless huge asteroid drops the building blocks of life to help it along )…Mars is next, for life through its dry,frozen phases, had it losses of tiny life and will regain it’s seas, water ….And there is more of a chance that Mars and Venus will have life on both planets at same time, in diff measures, before any other planets will….we on Earth as humans will be long gone at this point .. and astronomers, scientists alike know this …..peace ✌️ live your existence now…..also how annoying, no seriously pioneer captured cloud, it’s a Cloud giant, no its not, its an atmosphere, just diff to earth atmospheric make up …are we EARTH 🌎 a gas giant …..i do not like that term GAS GIANT,all ALL PLANETS have solid rock 🪨 core,not just interior,but tjey have mountains of solid rock as we do on Earth 🌎…hence a planet …… I was gonna look up,but it’s cloudy here south coast eiRe .. Peace ✌️ y’all N

  • Yeah. There’s 4 Allegan city police officers and a county sheriff with nothing better to do than respond to a guy walking on the sidewalk with a camera. That cop should have got on his radio and said, “1st amendment auditor. Don’t even bother driving by. And can somebody please call Dr. Chong at Greenpharm and tell him that nobody thinks he’s a medical professional?”

  • “Year 2165, we found by our new prob and archeological drills, human bones, confirming that we came from Venus and during a formidable event, we move to the earth who was long time in the past, the next planet to be the better for the human being. We knew back in 2024 that Mars could be the next planet..”

  • If atmospheric pressure is the #1 reason these probes fail, -why not try to drop a probe on top of that 11-kilometer elevation mountain? The atmospheric pressure there must be lower than the ‘sea level’ equivalent of the previous lander sites. I’d like to see a probe descend into the atmosphere but instead of a parachute, it deploys a helium balloon and …it floats above the clouds. There it is cooler and the pressure is nominal…

  • venusian? it is not grammatically correct at all. as we all know the stem must be taken from ueneris, rather than uenus. all the derivatives should be produced from uener-. there is a better word – venerian – borrowed from latin. well i suppose the word venusian has emerged in the english comic books.

  • Immanuel Velikovsky speculated that Venus is a relative newcomer to the solar system. Velikovsky believed that Venus did not exist until around 1500 BC, at which time it broke off from Jupiter and was initially not a planet, but a comet that circulated around earth every 50 years or so, sometimes causing horrific damage to earth and its inhabitants. Eventually, the comet Venus collided with Mars. The collision transformed Venus from a comet into the planet it is today, and also bumped Mars from its position between the earth and the sun into a new position between the earth and Jupiter.

  • I think instead of trying to colonize another planet, we should try build mobile colonies that can travel in space and connect to each other,colonies that life in it can depend on the capabilities of colony itself..it will be almost impossible to make human alive flesh travel faster than light in outer space, the faster we go in the direction i suggested the better chance human race got to survive outside earth.

  • any exoGEOLOGISTS OUT THERE???~!!! wHAT KIND Of rock can survive; 500K heat,90 ATM supercritical fluid of OLEUM (Boiling Sulphuric Acid plus more SO2 groups that super charge the acid, thats almost liquid, and last for hundreds of millions of years? Most Earth rocks would dissolve in seconds. Also if we could see the lander today would it just be a rubble pile with a plastic shell sticking out the bottom? I tried various acids on electronic components at these temps (but had no way to make the pressure) and only bits of plastic was left. I’m sure the CO2 plays a roll at those pressures and temps its not nonreactive like on earth.

  • దేశం తో మతానికి ఏమిపనిరా గూట్లే, మతం ధర్మం అనుకో ఎవడికి ఇబ్బంది లేదు. దేశాన్ని మీరేందరా కాపాడేది బోసడీకే !! సౌరబౌమ అధికరం కలిగి రాజ్యాంగ రక్షణ కలిగి నీలాంటి పనికి మాలిన వాల్లను కూడ కాపాడేది రాజ్యంగం నీబొంగులో ధర్మం నీ నమ్మకం మాత్రమే అంతకు మించి ఏమి కాదు . వాడి రాసలీలలు నువ్వు భక్తి ముక్తి అనుకుంటే అది నీ అభిప్రాయమే తప్ప నిజం కాదు, వాడొక వ్యభిచారి . అది నిజం,అది నిజం కాదంటే, అది ఇతిహసం కాదు రాసుకున్న కత అవుతుంది, బొక్కలో గాడి ది సమాదానం కాదు బొంకు.

  • You forgot to mention that Venus counter rotates on its axis the only planet in the solar system to do so and like OUR moon gravictically it doesn’t belong where it is. May I add its the brightest planet visible from Earth but in the ancient Chinese and Indian writings among many other cultures it isn’t mentioned. Immanuel Velikovsky ( ages in chaos, mankind in amnesia and other works )

  • I think NASA is so infatuated with the Moon & Mars…..they soon forget that the other planets also just as fascinating & once harbored life rather its microbial or organic humanoid life. If our top scientist wanted to harbor future life on Venus…it wouldn’t be on the surface..,but above the gas & ammonia clouds….which supports an atmosphere & tolerable temperature for human life survival. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

  • 16.02 Hmmmm…. It seem to me ( but I could be wrong) That the artist representation of lightening on Venus is WRONG… The density is so high on the planet that lightening on Venus NEVER occur from the clouds to the surface but Between clouds themselves. Can someone confirm the erratum or check if I had bad information on that topic?

  • I wish that ALL images used in articles like this would ALWAYS have 1 or 2 fundamental bits of information. CGI vs. actual photo imagery. We should NEVER have to guess which it is. Information about the size scale of the image. This is especially important for photos of natural structures. Is that canyon 1 mile wide or 10 miles wide? Is this photo taken from 10km high? Or from10m? etc. Viewers should never have to guess about this stuff. And we should not have to rely on the narration to know this info. It should be added to the imagery itself- flashed on for at least for a second or two so that curious viewers could pause/rewind, as needed, to see the info.

  • What crap. These visuals and other static images of the Mars have had been aired by official NASA websites. By cribbing from official websites on Mars, rovers’ takes on the landscapes to continue as a monetised YouTuber is not ethical, natural and unjustified. Please stop these sorts of ‘plagiarism’. Amen.

  • Venus’ clouds do not “betray” anything, perhaps you do not understand the word? some sunlight must reach the surface, or how were these photos taken? why would the Venera thermometer reading be “astonishing” if it only confirmed previous assessments? i hope i can trust you, however your delivery is rather loaded with sensationalism, which is disturbing. thank you for the information, i think.

  • At 4:10 Russia claimed that this ship was designed to only last that long, and the reason it transmitted for such a short time was because the battery died (just like the probe the European space agency sent to Saturn’s moon Titan). They also announced that very soon they plan to send a new probe to Venus. This one is about the size of a School Bus, will have actual article cameras on board to stream live articles back to earth, and is expected to last for over a month 😲

  • Venus is the most similar planet in our solar system to earth in terms of physical parameters such as mass size density, mass and size. If Were not for the extremely high temperature, surface pressure, and atmospheric composition, humanity could have an Earth-like planet orbiting the same star within a maximum distant of 40 million kilometers, and the thought is extremely fascinating.

  • It’s funny that in myths Venus was considered the sister of the earth, but in fact, it’s literally hell in real: -acid rains -lava oceans -100х atmospheric pressure -480С average air temperature -One day lasts like a year on earth -the planet rotates in the other direction (the only instance in the system)

  • I had a very vivid dream, it started with me traveling at the speed of light and landing on Venus. I met up with two winged females, we were communicating telepathically. They guided me through out some caves and a few different areas. There seemed to be no life on the planet, everything basically looked like this article. One of the weirdest dreams I’ve had. Lol

  • You guys remember the whole block the sun from shining on earth from space idea? What if they figured out how to do it and used it on Venus. With only half the sunlight shining on Venus maybe it woul cool down enough to send in drones to spray acid neutralizers into the clouds then start seeding the coolest spots?

  • If we could figure out how to speed up planet rotation speed. Venus can be terriformed. Increase the rotation speed even if it’s turning in the opposite direction of Earth’s rotation, and venus will cool down. Right now, it’s rotating so slow. That it’s on a slow Rotisserie wheel.😢 Slow down Earth’s rotation and it will end up being just like Venus. 😮

  • I’m not bigging myself up, but I spent 6 seconds up there. It was no big deal. So glad to be back home though. I had a spanish lesson 8 seconds later. Thinking of going back for 60 second holiday. Already saving up. Can’t believe this guy got there before me with his article camera and filmed so much. He must have gone in the summer, wasn’t that warm when I went, I had to put on a t-shirt.

  • What if I spent five seconds in Venus, you say? Well, the rough terrain and poisonous gases all around would’ve been more than enough to choke out the last air that I breathe. Been into sci-fi for quite some time, and I don’t think it’d be best to live in other planets besides Earth. Unless if you’re deeply invested in sci-fi, then you might still have a little bit of hope in you.

  • You wouldn’t feel heavier. It would be pressurized like deep dive. It wouldn’t feel like water because water attracts to itself. You wouldn’t be wearing a pressurized suit, you’d be wearing a depressurized suit. Which means it would have to be rigid to have a lower pressure on the inside than the outside. 900 degrees sounds like your blood would boil if your suit didn’t extract the heat.

  • The surface pressure would be more than 150% of what it would take to crush a modern Navy submarine, so no spacesuit would supply any protection at all. Neither would your ship, which would be designed to maintain a pressure differential of 14.7 psi between inside and outside, not the 1,360 psi like on the surface of Venus. Your landing craft would need to be something very similar to a deep sea submersible. The Lunar Lander weighed about 20 tons fully loaded, and its hull was barely much thicker than a few sheets of aluminum foil. A Venus Lander would need to have a hull like a battleship. So how much fuel would you need to carry in order to land a craft at least 10 times as heavy as the LEM on Venus? And that’s only if you never planned to leave. Leaving poses a whole new set of problems. Remember, the accent engine would need to be able to accelerate through an atmosphere that’s 90 times more dense than Earth’s. It takes a launch vehicle the size of the Saturn V or the SLS to get a payload with the mass of the Lunar Lander into orbit and out of Earth’s gravity, so you’d need to land something much more powerful than the SLS on the surface of Venus if you had any intention of getting back into space. Now think about how hard your A/C has to run just to maintain a temperature differential of 20° F between outside and inside in the summer. On Venus that differential would be 900° (even in the pitch dark of night that lasts almost 4 months) and your A/C would need to 4,500% more efficient.

  • 7:19 that’s not true. I don’t know why so many sources claim that the rain wouldn’t reach the surface. Yes the boiling point of sulfur is far lower than the surface temperature of Venus but since the pressure is like 90x greater then it could persist as a liquid for longer. In fact, it’s possible that there are ponds and/or rivers of sulfuric acid in some places on Venus, though they aren’t stable because of how volatile/reactive the acid is. There are actually websites and basis on Venus and scientists aren’t sure what caused them.

  • Irrelevant to the article but WHAT IF two hurricanes merged..I know Franklin won’t reach the U.S. but what if Franklin and Idalia cross paths would they become one..how bad of a storm at the point of contact..would the two cross paths and continue their own journey.. Does a category 2 and a category 3 make a category 5 lol..?

  • This a terraforming query based on no facts but from reading science fiction. If you had a large scoop, say something that was a quarter mile by a quarter mile in an elliptical orbit around Venus, scooping up atmosphere and then depositing toward the Sun. How long would it take to bring the surface temperature under 200 degrees Fahrenheit?

  • In my science fiction story In The Arms Of Venus I described my idea of what a workable exosuit on Venus would look like. Briefly, it would be more like a cross between a tank and a one person submarine, with the occupant viewing the world outside with cameras. The problem of heat dissipation would require cooling fins much larger than the already oversized main body and even then it would need multiple backup systems for everything, and be limited a range of no more than half an hour from help and rescue.

  • Seems that most people simply can’t appreciate how perfect we are evolved for our very gentle environment on Earth. We abuse the crap out of our planet. 99.9999% of the rest of the galaxy is not survivable for more than a few seconds and some of them you would die before even making it to the surface. Space is beautiful, but it’s also extremely deadly and has zero chill.

  • Imagine if Venus was just 20 million Km closer to us away from the sun, and Mars some millions Km closer, then we would have 3 planets perfectly aligned within the Goldilocks Zone. Then we would just have to figure out how to cool(Venus) and warm(Mars) them up just a few degrees. Naturally, if Venus didn’t have such an insane atmosphere.

  • Venus cannot be terrifomed and even if it could and we had the technology for it, the planet wouldn’t last long being in a habitable state because its to close to the sun, with a thinner atmopahre from being terraformed it would allow more sunlight to hit ty rplanet in its non habitible zone and due to that tat all vegitaruon would begin dying again rather quickly because of the immense heat of the sun and the life not hr planet would just begin dying again just like it did millions of years ago that lead the planet again bsck to its current state

  • So, I appreciate what’s going on here. It’s very clickbaity and I know that pulls the kids in, but it is impossible for a human to reach the Venerial surface due to the pressure. Your body would be crushed well before arriving. The pressure on the surface of Venus is 92bar–compared to 1bar at sea level on Earth. Also, sulfuric acid is odorless–not like “rotten eggs”. Also, it takes 2 minutes for a signal to leave Venus and reach Earth…then two more minutes for the reply trip. Surely our Spaceman Spiff here was told that before he left.

  • I want to tell Lemmuno and all gathered here, life on other planets exists within our solar system, Many Himalayan masters visited this planets and brought their knowledge to Indian Himalayas. 1. Most developed and advanced planet in our solar system is Venus, it is habitat to most beautiful women in universe . It also recorded in many Indian legends about Venus people and information how to contact them by chanting Sanskrit Mantras. Venus population is around less than 20 crore as per 30 year old Indian records of interactions. 2. Moon – is the 2nd highly advanced planet with intelligent civilization after venus. In Indian Himalayan regions Everyone know about existence of life on Moon. Apollo 11 landed on opposite side with desert area as per Indian records. Opposite side of moon is thriving with intelligent species than humans . 3. Mars- less civilized and less advanced than other two . Here, lives beings like Adivasis or forest tribe . They speak with combination of 32 words . They are don’t suited to food on earth but can take juicy substances. India consider Sun 🌞 as Planet according to vedic astrology and not some star. Life also exists on Sun but in Inner shell, accessible to only People of Surya Loka in Indian mythology. For jupiter also life exists but not much information available on it in by Indian Masters .

  • I really wonder, how you can handle the exterior pressure with a soft suit? Impossible. Must have the same pressure inside like outside. And so you have the exterior pressure right from the beginning inside the suit. Basic Physics. Must be a hard shell to maintain apressure below the exterior pressure. Restricts your moveability, problems of moving sealings.

  • I would take off the space head thing. I think I can take air on Venus. I think Venus has light purple sky and turquoise ocean maybe. I think I am human part Italian Grey part humanoid robot part alien human can live on Venus. I am part Indian, Chinese, Shan, myanma, Italian Grey, Aldebaranian a gold alien woman, andromeda pale white vampire, black lump humanoid robot, megaearth alien. I am Juliet Tun. I think I did not build hybrid airplane probably when hybrid airplane idea is in head. Hybrid airplanes need to land on Venus, Jupiter and mars. If I build hybrid airplane, I want Singapore airlines hybrid airplane to land on Venus first. I want Iran Air hybrid airplane to land on Jupiter after. I want American Airlines hybrid airplane to land on mars to build USA Colony on Mars. I am Juliet Tun

  • On the night side of Venus, would it be pitch black on the surface or would the surface rock glow very low red? Also, regarding the atmospheric vortices in the south pole, how low do they extend? Onethe surface at the south pole, wuld it be like a heavy-atmosphere twister…? At that point, it would only likely be ~2 mph winds, but at that atmospheric thickness, I imagine it would probably be like being inside a washing machine as i tossed you.

  • congratulations to the russians!!!!! first country to make it to outerspace, first country to have a man and woman cosmonauts but with all of this technology they didn’t attempt to land on the moon, why? the ultra radiation would roast you in a few seconds but wait!!!! the usa landed on the moon, how did they withstand the 7 day heat at nearly 800 degrees F and -400 degrees freezing, nasa says it was the suits that protected them from the radiation, heat and freeze, but wait china was the first country that landed on the moon with their moon rover, how come china didn’t send astronauts? the real reason is that it is impossible to land because the suits are made of aluminum and glass not enought to protect any person. as a science major my astrophysics teacher could not explain all this but nasa could to the entire public…so russia and china could not land on the moon with astronauts but the usa did not once but 5x???? this is absolutely laughable, the usa government thinks we are all stupid but they are right most of us are stupid in believing everything what the government tells us.
