How would the size of parachute required on a space probe to allow it to land safely on a planet such as venus which has a thick atmosphere?
It would need to have a small parachute for a planet such as venus, because the atmospheric pressure is about 90 times that on Earth. This increases air resistance (drag) slowing the probe down. Therefore, the small parachute allows the probe to have more acceleration.
