Best Answer

Venus has a very hot, very thick atmosphere of sulfuric acid. The pressure is about 80 times that of the Earth's atmosphere, and the temperature is over 800 degrees. NOT a nice place.

There are some speculations about trying to "explore" the atmosphere of Venus using balloons. But that's a long way off.

What planet has a harsh landscape?

All planets except Earth have conditions extremely unsuitable for life. Venus is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit because it has an extreme greenhouse effect. Mercury and Pluto have no atmosphere. Mars has a thin atmosphere and is too cold (although it could possibly be terraformed).


What would people want to do on Venus the planet?

Nothing, with the current technology, little can be done to make the planet survivable at the moment, therefore, nothing can be done on Venus at the moment except if there was a breakthrough is heat-abstaining metals that could protect a dome or base of some sort if it were to come in contact with the harsh climate of Venus.


What is Venus' environment?

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.


Which is earths twin?

Venus is often considered to be the twin planet of earth, as it is fairly similar in size and composition. In reality, the surface conditions are very different to that of earth, much to harsh in so may ways to sustain life as on earth. Its the planet that comes nearest to us and is the second planet from the sun.


Why does Venus have the highest surface temperature of all the planets?

Venus is so hot because of a number of reasons. It is closer to the Sun than Earth but that is not the only reason.Venus has an atmosphere that is almost entirely (96.5%) carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas), which blocks the radiation of solar heat back into space. Much more energy from the Sun is absorbed by its atmosphere than on Earth. The result is that the planetwide temperature is about 460°C (860° F) even at night.The water on Venus has mostly been broken down, and the hydrogen lost to space (the planet has no protective magnetic field). This means there is no liquid water to ameliorate the heat, and a much denser atmosphere.

What is the difference between earth and mercury?

well for one Mercury doesn't have an oxygen rich atmosphere. it also has sulfur clouds and harsh weather conditions. its days are slightly shorter then ours and there is no life forms that we know of on the planet where earth is teaming with life.


What does an atmosphere do for a world?

protect the world from the harsh gases in space
