Venus' environment is very harsh. It is primarily carbon dioxide with a little nitrogen thrown in. There is a runaway greenhouse effect, and the average temperature is actually hotter than Mercury. Above the carbon dioxide layers, there are clouds of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Average temperature is 460 C, or 860 F.

∙ 12y agoVenus is the hottest planet in the solar system The atmosphere of Venus is mostly carbon dioxide, 96.5% by volume. Most of the remaining 3.5% is nitrogen. Early evidence pointed to the sulfuric acid contentin the atmosphere, but we now know that that is a rather minor constituent of the atmosphere.
The mass of the Venus atmosphere is about 90 times that of the Earth's atmosphere. 90% of the Earth's atmosphere is within 10 km of the surface, whereas you have to go to 50 km to capture 90% of the atmosphere of Venus. The clouds of Venus may extend from about 50 to 70 km and may be divided into three distinct layers. Below the clouds is a layer of haze down to about 30 km and below that it is clear.

Would you expect to find living things similar to those that exist on Earth on Venus?
No, the environment on Venus is not conducive to the sort of life that exists on Earth.
Is it very humid on Venus?
Venus is not humid, but its atmosphere is nothing like any environment on earth. The air is rich in sulfuric acid, and temperatures hover around 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
What astronomers landed on the planet Venus's?
No, and it is doubtful they ever will. The environment on Venus is extremely hot, the atmosphere is extremely thick, and has acid in it. It is very difficult to even build robots that can stand up to it for more than seconds before they quit working.
Why does Venus' atmosphere not support life?
Venus can not hold life because it doesn't have a hospitable environment like the Earth. The planet is too hot to maintain life and there is too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen either.
Can we live in Venus?
Not without an enclosed habitat. Venus is extremely hot (860°F) with a surface pressure more than 90 times the sea level pressure on Earth. It is essentially a pressure-cooker environment, and the carbon dioxide atmosphere does not have enough breathable oxygen.
What is a example of an organism responding to its environment?
venus flytrap
How does venus fly trap help environment?
the venus fly trap helps people by eating unwanted bugs
Can you live on the planet Venus?
No, you cannot live on the planet Venus. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun which means that the environment is extremely hot and unbearable for any type of life to live on it.
What was the Venus Flytrap used for?
it is used for trapping insectsand it is also used for our environment
What other factors do scientists need to consider besides distance in choosing to attempt a trip to Mars rather than Venus or to Venus rather than Mars?
The environment of the planet Venus is tremendously more hostile to human life or even to human machinery, than the environment of the planet Mars. Venus is much too hot, and too chemically corrosive.
Would you expect to find living things similar to those that exist on Earth on Venus?
No, the environment on Venus is not conducive to the sort of life that exists on Earth.
Is it very humid on Venus?
Venus is not humid, but its atmosphere is nothing like any environment on earth. The air is rich in sulfuric acid, and temperatures hover around 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
Will anyone visit Venus?
It's highly unlikely - in the foreseeable future. The environment is horrendous, not only for humans but also mechanical and electrical modules. (Lead would melt on the surface of Venus). Because of this, and the lack of any reason, bar understanding why Venus is so hostile. There is unlikely to be any human visit to Venus.
What does a Venus fly trap environment look like?
It should have plenty of soil and water with sticks and bugs from the tropicals
What astronomers landed on the planet Venus's?
No, and it is doubtful they ever will. The environment on Venus is extremely hot, the atmosphere is extremely thick, and has acid in it. It is very difficult to even build robots that can stand up to it for more than seconds before they quit working.
What types of bugs do Venus fly traps eat?
The Venus Flytrap eats bugs because there are not enough much needed nutrients available in its boggy environment.
How are venus fly traps adapted to their environment?
They have modified leaves that help them trap insects to suppliment their nitrogen poor soils
