Is Venus mostly carbon dioxide

Answer 1

The atmosphere on Venus is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (96.5%)and nitrogen (3.5%), with less than 1% of other gases: carbon monoxide, argon, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor.

The thick clouds of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid trap heat on the planet, creating an average planetwide surface temperature of 460° C (860°F).

More Precisely

Venus's atmosphere consists of Carbon Dioxide (96.5%), Nitrogen (3.5%), Sulfur Dioxide (150 parts per million), Argon (70 ppm), Water Vapor (20 ppm), Carbon Monoxide (17 ppm), Helium (12 ppm), Neon (7 ppm), Hydrogen Chloride (0.1-0.6 ppm), and Hydrogen fluoride (0.001-0.005 ppm).

Mostly carbon dioxide, the rest is nitrogen. The atmosphere of Venus is very hot and thick. You would not survive a visit to the surface of the planet - you couldn't breathe the air, you would be crushed on by the enormous weight of the atmosphere, and you would burn up in surface temperatures high enough to melt lead. The atmosphere of Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide, and thick clouds of sulfuric acid completely cover the planet. The atmosphere traps the small amount of energy from the sun that does reach the surface along with the heat the planet itself releases. This greenhouse effect has made the surface and lower atmosphere of Venus one of the hottest places in the solar system! If you were on the surface of the planet, the air above you would be about 90 times heavier than the Earth's atmosphere. This is like what a submarine experiences at 3000 ft below the surface of the Earth's ocean. The atmosphere is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (96%), 3.5% nitrogen, and less than 1% is made up of carbon monoxide, argon, sulfur dioxide, and water vapor.

Answer 2

Yes, carbon dioxide, or CO2 makes up nearly all of Venus' atmosphere, about 96%. This, along with Venus' proximity to the sun, results in a surface temperature on Venus of around 800 degrees Celsius.

Answer 3

Yes, the atmosphere of Venus is primarily carbon dioxide (about 96% or so.) For this reason, and because Venus is closer to the sun than us, the planet's temperature is a scorching 800 degrees Celsius!

Answer 4

The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Because of the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (over half a mile) under the ocean.

Answer 5

Yes

because there is no oxygen

but their is carbon dioxide

there is 67.12 much carbon dioxide

Answer 6

No. Like Earth, Venus is mostly rock with a metallic core.

Answer 7

99% of the atmosphere of Venus is carbon dioxide, practically all of it. This has caused a runaway greenhouse effect, where the average temperature is over 300 degrees Celsius.
