    Fahrenheit: 867 °F: ... The highest point on Venus, Maxwell Montes, is therefore the coolest point on Venus, with a temperature of about 655 K (380 °C; ...

  3. 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 ...

    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 ...

    In 1962, Mariner 2, the first successful mission to Venus, measured the planet's temperature for the first time, and found it to be "about 500 degrees Celsius (900 degrees Fahrenheit)." [ 14 ] Since then, increasingly clear evidence from various space probes showed Venus has an extreme climate, with a greenhouse effect generating a constant ...

  6. 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 ...

    Moving at up to 430,000 mph (692,000 kph), the spacecraft endured temperatures of up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (982 degrees Celsius), according to the NASA website.

  8. 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 ...
