There is no water on the planet Venus. Decades ago, it was widely believed that since Venus is closer to the sun than the Earth is, it would have a generally tropical, warm climate, with perhaps lots of warm oceans or swamps. The lack of frozen ice caps, it was imagined, would just make more water available for the oceans. Isaac Asimov once wrote a novel called "Lucky Starr And The Oceans Of Venus". But more recent investigation has shown that the planet Venus is much hotter than we had previously imagined, far hotter than the boiling point of water - indeed, hot enough to melt lead. Its atmosphere consists mostly of carbon dioxide and sulphuric acid.
