  2. Planetary equilibrium temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_equilibrium...

    [13] [14] Similarly, Earth has an effective temperature of 255 K (−18 °C; −1 °F), [14] but a surface temperature of about 288 K (15 °C; 59 °F) [15] due to the greenhouse effect in our lower atmosphere. [5] [4] The surface temperatures of such planets are more accurately estimated by modeling thermal radiation transport through the ...

  3. Terraforming of Venus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming_of_Venus

    This requires Venus's temperature to be reduced, first to the liquefaction point, requiring a temperature less than 304.128(15) K [32] (30.978(15) °C or 87.761(27) °F) and partial pressures of CO 2 to bring the atmospheric pressure down to 73.773(30) bar [32] (carbon dioxide's critical point); and from there reducing the temperature below 216 ...

    They decline deep in the troposphere with the rate of 3 m/s per km. [3] The winds near the surface of Venus are much slower than that on Earth. They actually move at only a few kilometres per hour (generally less than 2 m/s and with an average of 0.3 to 1.0 m/s), but due to the high density of the atmosphere at the surface, this is still enough ...

  5. Venus - Wikipedia

    The highest point on Venus, Maxwell Montes, is therefore the coolest point on Venus, with a temperature of about 655 K (380 °C; 715 °F) and an atmospheric pressure of about 4.5 MPa (45 bar). [ 131 ] [ 132 ] In 1995, the Magellan spacecraft imaged a highly reflective substance at the tops of the highest mountain peaks, a " Venus snow " that ...

  6. Planetary habitability in the Solar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_habitability_in...

    As a result of a runaway greenhouse effect Venus has a temperature of 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius), hot enough to melt lead. It is the hottest planet in the Solar System, even more than Mercury, despite being farther away from the Sun. [ 8 ] Likewise, the atmosphere of Venus is almost completely carbon dioxide, and the ...

    25 kK, mean temperature of the universe 10,000 years after the Big Bang; 26 kK on the white dwarf Sirius B; 28 kK in record cationic lightning over Earth; 29 kK on surface of Alnitak (easternmost star of Orion's belt) 4–8–40–160 kK [clarification needed] on white dwarfs; 30–400 kK on a planetary nebula's asymptotic giant helium star

    35 km above Venus's surface, the temperature is as hot as a typical baking or cooking oven. (See your cookbooks, if you're in America, there'll probably be quite a few references to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which translates into 177 degrees Celsius, or 450 Kelvin.
