Most astronomers feel that it would be impossible for life to exist on Venus. Today, Venus is a very hostile place. It is a very dry planet with no evidence of water, its surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead, and its atmosphere is so thick that the air pressure on its surface is over 90 times that on Earth. Even the spacecraft which have landed on Venus only survived for about an hour before being crushed and melted. There are however, a few scientists who think that it is possible for life to exist in the clouds of Venus.

There is circumstantial evidence, however, that bacteria may be living in the Venusian cloud tops. There is a link to an announcement by two NASA researchers to that effect below.
We haven't seen any evidence of life there, and the extreme temperatures could make life quite difficult. So, Venus probably doesn't have any life on it.

Why there is no soil on mars or Venus?

There is no soil on Mars or Venus. How come? Those planets have plenty of rocks. Mars has windstorms that erode rocks into dust. Venus has an acid atmosphere that cooks rocks into new chemicals.But there's still something missing. Without life, there is no soil. Living things haven't just made a home in the soil on our planet. Life actually made the soil as we know it.Information from: http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schooladventures/soil/recipe_soil.html


Why is earth probably the only planet in your solar system that has soil?

Earth is the only planet in the solar system that likely has soil because of its unique combination of atmosphere, water, and geological processes that have fostered the development of soil through weathering and the decomposition of organic matter. Other planets in the solar system lack these conditions necessary for soil formation.


Is Venus a hydrosphere?

No, Venus does not have a hydrosphere. The extreme temperatures and atmospheric conditions on Venus make it unable to support liquid water on its surface.


Why are Mercury Venus earth and mars called the terrestrial plants?

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are called terrestrial planets because they are made mostly of rock and metal and have solid surfaces. They are also located closer to the Sun compared to the gas giants in our solar system. These planets have similar characteristics compared to Earth, making them more similar to each other than to the giant planets.


What planet is closest to Eath's size?

In our solar system, Venus is closest to Earth's size - just slightly smaller at 95% of Earth's radius.

Why would you not find soils on mars and venus?

Soil forms largely as a result of biological processes. There is no life on Venus or Mars, so soil cannot form.


Is the Venus's-flytrap finicky about where it grows in the wild?

Yes. Venus Flytraps only grow in poor, nutrient-depleted soil - usually sandy/wet/peaty soil. Since they cannot get their nutrients from the soil, they rely on living things (insects) to provide this.


Is Mars the only planet with soil?

No, the other terrestrial planets have soil, Earth, Mercury and Venus. Earths soil is different in that it contains organic matter.


Is a Venus fly trap a wildflower?

yes, but its range is limited to swampy soil.


What color is soil on Venus?

It is a yellowish reddish color follow me on twitter @omg_itslexi


Do all Venus Flytraps eat?

Yes, all Venus Flytraps eat. That's their mandatory source of nutrients, and as they only live in bad soil, they can't be like normal plants and get nutrients from their soil and photosynthesis solely.


Why is a Venus Flytrap able to live in poor marshy soil?

It has adapted to live in such conditions.

What time of year does a Venus flytrap grow?

Any type of soil except enriched soil. Be sure not to plant it in too deep, or it won't grow as well. Also, the plant will grow better if you change the soil every 2 or 3 years.


Does a venus fly trap need soil?

Yes, a Venus flytrap needs soil, but it requires a specific type. It thrives in a nutrient-poor, acidic medium, typically consisting of a mix of sphagnum moss, peat, and perlite or sand. This type of soil mimics its natural habitat, which is often found in bogs. Regular potting soil is not suitable as it can contain too many nutrients and may harm the plant.


Why does the Venus Flytrap feed on insects?

The Venus Flytrap eats insects because of its native habitat, a bog (a type of wet, moist soil). The boggy soil is poor in nutrients so the plant gets its nutrients from insects. The plant is reliant on insects in order for it to live a healthy life.
