Venus would be the terrestrial planet that fits that description, while Jupiter would be a gas giant that has similar properties.

Which planet is covered with thick clouds of carbon dioxide?

Venus is the planet known for having thick clouds composed mostly of carbon dioxide, with some sulfuric acid droplets. These clouds contribute to Venus' extreme greenhouse effect, trapping heat and resulting in scorching surface temperatures.


What process is explained by carbon dioxide holding heat in the atmosphere?

The process by which carbon dioxide holds heat in the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, along with other greenhouse gases, absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's surface, trapping heat in the atmosphere. This process helps to maintain the planet's temperature, but increased levels of carbon dioxide from human activities enhance this effect, leading to global warming and climate change.


How the presence of the carbon dioxide in Venus' atmosphere causes the average surface temp of Venus to be higher than the average surface temp on Mercury?

Carbon dioxide is what is colloquially known as a greenhouse gas. This means that while it is transparent to the incoming sunlight in the visible spectrum, it is opaque to the infrared frequencies by which a planet loses heat at night. So an atmosphere with carbon dioxide in it is like a warm blanket, wrapped around a planet, keeping in the heat. Earth has only about a third of one percent carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, so the greenhouse effect is not that strong. Venus, on the other hand, has a much higher concentration of carbon dioxide, and a much stronger greenhouse effect.


Why solid carbon dioxide is never found naturally on earth?

Solid carbon dioxide, also known as dry ice, forms at tempuratures below −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F). There are few places on the planet that ever get this cold. Dry ice would quickly evaporates at higher temperatures.


Does carbon dioxide dissolves in water?

Yes, carbon dioxide can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid. This process, known as carbonation, is important in regulating the pH of water.
