    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 ...

  4. Atmosphere of Venus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus

    The early Earth during the Hadean eon is believed by most scientists to have had a Venus-like atmosphere, with roughly 100 bar of CO 2 and a surface temperature of 230 °C, and possibly even sulfuric acid clouds, until about 4.0 billion years ago, by which time plate tectonics were in full force and together with the early water oceans, removed ...

    "Venus now has surface conditions that are extreme compared to Earth, with an atmospheric pressure 90 times greater, surface temperatures soaring to around 465°C (869°F), and a toxic atmosphere ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Geology of Venus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Venus

    The surface of Venus is not easily accessible because of the extremely thick atmosphere (some 90 times that of Earth's) and the 470 °C (878 °F) surface temperature. Much of what is known about it stems from orbital radar observations, because the surface is permanently obscured in visible wavelengths by cloud cover. In addition, a number of ...

    The aircraft would carry the mission's sensitive electronics in the relatively mild temperatures of Venus' upper atmosphere. [77] Another concept from 2007 suggests to equip a rover with a Stirling cooler powered by a nuclear power source to keep an electronics package at an operational temperature of about 200 °C (392 °F).
