How would the size of parachute required for a space probe be different on Venus which has a thick atmosphere or on Mars which has a thin atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Venus is very thick, and a parachute would have much greater drag for a given size, than on Earth or Mars. So it could be smaller to achieve the same slowing of a space probe's descent. On Mars, a larger parachute would be required, but fortunately Mars, being a smaller planet, has much less gravity than Earth, so the parachute does not have to resist the same acceleration force (which is roughly the same on Venus as on Earth).

How do the size of a parachutes required on thick atmosphere?
In a thick atmosphere, such as on Earth, larger parachutes are typically required to generate enough drag to slow down a descending object safely. This is because the denser air provides more resistance, necessitating a larger surface area to counteract gravity effectively and achieve a controlled descent. Smaller parachutes may not offer enough drag force to slow down the descent adequately in thicker atmospheres.
Which planets are called earth twins?
Venus and Mars are often called Earth's twins because they are rocky planets like Earth, but they have different environments. Venus has a thick toxic atmosphere, while Mars has a thin atmosphere with extreme temperatures.
What inner planet has the thickest atmosphere?
Venus has a very thick and acid filled atmosphere. The atmosphere of Venus is very dangerous to space probes. Over the years we have sent many probes to Venus but the corrosive acid and heavy atmosphere destroys them practically before they get to the surface!
Why are the temperatures on venus and Murcury so different?
The extreme temperatures on Venus and Mercury are due to their proximity to the Sun. Venus has a thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a greenhouse effect. In contrast, Mercury has no atmosphere to retain heat, resulting in very hot temperatures on the side facing the Sun and very cold temperatures on the side facing away.
Which planet has the heaviest atmosphere?
all planets have atmospheres. However, Mercury has extremely low atmospheric pressure, Mars has an atmosphere way below the Armstrong Limit, and Venus and the Outer worlds have way too high of an atmosphere.

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.
How is the atmosphere of Venus different from that of other terrestrial planets?
yes
What is Venus mainly made of?
Although the atmosphere of Venus is tremendously different than the atmosphere of the Earth, the planet Venus is basically a ball of rock, with a metallic core, much like the Earth.
What is a mission that will record temperatures at different levels of Venus' atmosphere?
Probes
What is the atmosphere on the surface of Venus's?
The atmosphere on the surface of Venus is cloudy.
Why is earths atmosphere so different from those of mars and Venus?
Venus' surface conditions are different because of the atmosphere that venus has. Its atmosphere is mostly Co2 which is a greenhouse gas. This greenhouse gas allows the suns warmth to penetrate to the surface, but is unable to reflect back out into space. Therefor The heat is trapped between the atmosphere and the surface. Because of this the surface temperature of the Venus is a sweltering 860 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the atmosphere of the venus?
what is the atomosphere of venus
What is the atmosphere of Venus' surface?
venus atmosphere is cloudy,and its are made of volcanoes and lava
Do Mercury and Venus have thick atmospheres?
Venus has a thick atmosphere. Mercury does not have an atmosphere.

Does earth have as thick an atmosphere as Venus?
No, Earth's atmosphere is not as thick as Venus'. Venus has an atmosphere that is composed mainly of carbon dioxide, with a pressure about 92 times greater than Earth's atmosphere. This makes Venus' atmosphere much thicker and denser than Earth's.
