Is venus too cold for water to exist?

No. Venus is too hot for liquid water to exist.


How much water does Venus' have?

Venus has a very weak magnetic field and a dry, desolate surface, so it is believed to have very little water. Any water that may have existed on Venus in the past would have evaporated due to the planet's high temperatures.


Why did people believe Venus had water?

Venus has been visible to the earliest generations and has always been a topic of conversations and speculation. With the advent of the telescope it was apparent that the surface of Venus was never visible, it was always covered in clouds. Year in year out. Early astronomers thought that clouds meant clouds as on Earth, and thus it must have lots of water. If it had lots of water vapour, it must be hot. So what - as their thoughts went - is an area that is hot and has lots of water. A swamp. So Venus was believed to be a hot and a moist planet. How wrong they were. If there was a hell, Venus would be it. However, there is a good possibility that Venus DID have water about a billion or two years ago, but something happened to the carbon cycle that caused the runaway greenhouse effect. It is now a probable coincidence that the Earth will follow Venus within a billion year or sooner if we are not careful.


Is Venus too cold for water to exist on its surface?

No. Venus is far too hot for water to exist on its surface.


Does Venus have a source of water?

Venus is a hot and dry planet with no liquid water on its surface. Its high temperatures and runaway greenhouse effect have caused any water that may have once been on the planet to evaporate and escape into space. Although traces of water vapor have been detected in the atmosphere, there is no known source of liquid water on Venus.
