  2. Venus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus

    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 ...

    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 ...

    [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 ...

    Today's Venus is hellish, but NASA scientists have discovered that there was once a time where it could have been inhabitable.

  7. 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 ...

    3.6 TK, temperature at which matter doubles in mass (compared to its mass at 0 K) due to relativistic effects; 5.5 TK, highest man-made temperature in thermal equilibrium as of 2015 (quark–gluon plasma from LHC collisions) [20] 10 TK, 100 microseconds after the Big Bang; 45–67 TK at collapsar of a gamma-ray burst
