How would a human being would fare on the planet Venus?

Answer 1

Assuming that you were on the ultimate suicide mission, planet Venus would be your one-stop-shop for all that is exactly that, suicide.

Let's pretend that you were desending upon the atmosphere and ultimately the planet itself, this is how it would go down:

The first thing you would notice (if you were to make the observation) is that the planet is actually similar in size to Earth, which will literally be the last comforting thought you will have during this journey. This planet is likely the LEAST inhabitable place for life in our solar system short of probably the Sun itself. Insanely thick, dense clouds line the atmosphere of this planet...the greenhouse effect is so powerful, that you should feel lucky to even be able to look at it as closely as you are, previous to desent...this is because these clouds are PURE SULFURIC ACID! Yes, you read correctly...and it only gets better! Assuming that you are actually able to penetrate the clouds, the greenhouse effect that the sulfuric acid produces creates an inner temperature of about 400 degrees, which is hot enough to melt lead. Yeah. Good luck with that.

At least the closer you get to the surface of the planet, the powerful winds die down to a relatively nice breeze...assuming that you enjoy the breeze of Sulfuric Acid, which at this point, would wind up being a icing on the cake. Of course the bad thing about getting close to the surface is the pressure. The pressure on the planet happens to be 92 times greater than the pressure on Earth. This would squish squash you to the size of a sixpence, but who cares when you always hated being so tall didn't you.

Needless to say, if you were to "magically" appear on the surface of the planet, you would instantly begin suffering an inhuman death of screaming, torture and excruciating pain...the Acid, mixed with lack of Oxygen, mixed with far-beyond-extreme heat, mixed with an immense amount of pressure strong enough to crush you to a pulp, and absolutely nothing around you but planetary death would be more than enough to send any "Emo" individual into being "normal" again.

So enjoy your suicide mission!

Answer 2

Humans can't live on Venus. There is no oxygen to speak of, and the temperature is 860 F. There is a heavy cloud cover of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid, so there is no visibility of the stars from Venus.

Answer 3

Venus has an atmosphere containing 99% Carbon dioxide, so if you didn't die of asphyxiation, the crushing force of atmospheric pressure would have an Accordion-like effect on the human body, pushing it into the ground somewhat comically.

Following that, the temperature of 460 degrees C would burn the remains of the body.

Answer 4

Traveling to Venus is not the problem. It is essentially a prolonged stay in a spacecraft of some type. If the traveler lands on Venus, and assuming he stays in some sort of protective environment, again there is no problem. The experience with unmanned landers even the protective equipment might fail quickly.Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. Temperatures on Venus reach 870 degrees Fahrenheit (465 degrees Celsius) which is hot enough to melt lead. Its atmosphere is composed mainly of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulphuric acid. The atmospheric pressure is estimated to be 90 times that of Earth. Exposure to this environment would be immediately fatal.

Answer 5

A human being would not fare well on the planet Venus due to its extreme conditions. With surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead, atmospheric pressure 92 times higher than Earth, and toxic clouds of sulfuric acid, it would be impossible for a human to survive without extensive protective gear and technology.

Answer 6

Not well, theoretically even if a human could land on the planet, the temperature would incinerate a human in very short order.

Answer 7

death :)
