Artist's conception of a terraformed Venus.The cloud formations are depicted assuming the planet's rotation has not been accelerated. The terraforming of Venus or the terraformation of Venus is the hypothetical process of engineering the global environment of the planet Venus in order to make it suitable for human habitation.
Venus has been the subject of a number of terraforming proposals. [ 19 ] [ 5 ] The proposals seek to remove or convert the dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, reduce Venus's 450 °C (723 K; 842 °F) surface temperature, and establish a day/night light cycle closer to that of Earth.
An artist's conception shows a terraformed Mars in four stages of development.. Terraforming or terraformation ("Earth-shaping") is the hypothetical process of deliberately modifying the atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology of a planet, moon, or other body to be similar to the environment of Earth to make it habitable for humans to live on.
524522 Zoozve (/ ˈ z uː z v eɪ / ⓘ; provisional designation 2002 VE 68) is a sub-kilometer sized asteroid and temporary quasi-satellite of Venus. [5] Discovered in 2002, it was the first such object to be discovered around a major planet in the Solar System.
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/GettyWith its runaway climate-change and roiling, toxic atmosphere, Venus would be a pretty unpleasant place for humans to inhabit in its ...
A Venus-crosser is an asteroid whose orbit crosses that of Venus. There are 2,809 [1] Venus-crosser and 98 outer-grazers known. [2] Mercury-crossers or grazers are marked ‡. Venus also has a quasi-satellite, 524522 Zoozve.
The average temperature on Venus is 864 degrees, one day is the equivalent to 117 Earth days, and it has a “crushing carbon dioxide atmosphere 90 times as thick as Earth’s,” NASA says.
Venus In situ Composition Investigations (VICI) is a concept lander mission to Venus in order to answer long-standing questions about its origins and evolution, and provide new insights needed to understand terrestrial planet formation, evolution, and habitability.
