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.

How many moons those venus have?

Venus has 0 moons.


What Of the rocky planets which have well developed atmosphere?

Among the rocky planets in our solar system, Earth has the most well-developed atmosphere, composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, supporting a diverse range of life. Venus also has a thick atmosphere, primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfuric acid, creating a strong greenhouse effect and extreme surface temperatures. Mars has a much thinner atmosphere, predominantly carbon dioxide, but it is not as well-developed as those of Earth or Venus.


What planet has atmospheric pressures at its surface that are roughly comparable to those at Earth's surface?

Venus has atmospheric pressures at its surface that are roughly comparable to those at Earth's surface, around 92 times the pressure we experience here on Earth. This high pressure is due to Venus' thick atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide.


Why is Venus orange?

Venus appears in those colors for the same reason Earth looks blue and white: the contents of its atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere is composed mainly of nitrogen and oxygen, with a lot of water vapor. Venus's atmosphere is composed of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane (the same gas that's in farts =O ). The colors reflect the visible light spectrum due to these elements.

Is erosion and weathering are very slow processes on Venus?

Erosion and weathering processes on Venus are indeed much slower compared to Earth. This is due to Venus' extremely thick atmosphere, which generates high surface temperatures and pressures that limit the extent of these processes. As a result, the erosion and weathering on Venus occur at a slower rate and have different mechanisms compared to those on Earth.


Venus has hydrogen?

* 22% of Mercury's atmosphere is hydrogen. * Venus does not have pure hydrogen in its atmosphere, but does have hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride. * Earth has almost no hydrogen. * Mars does not contain any significant amount of hydrogen in its atmosphere. * Jupiter's atmosphere is roughly 90% hydrogen! * Saturn's atmosphere has even more: about 97% is hydrogen! * Uranus' atmosphere is 83% hydrogen. * Neptune's atmosphere contains 74% hydrogen.


Are you sure humans can live on Venus'?

This is absolutely incorrect. Venus's carbon atmosphere is so thick and dense that temperatures on venus reach 464 degrees celcius, and many, many volcanic eruptions are occurring every second on venus. Since there is so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it would be impossible for humans to breathe. Those are just some obvious reasons why venus is inhabitable to humans.


What is fun to do on Venus?

Oh, choking to death from the sulphurous atmosphere, or being cooked by the 800 degree temperature. Those are my two favorites.


What is the principle that earths processes occurring today are similar to those that occurred in the passed?

they are different


What are the three features of Venus' atmosphere that make the planet hostile to life?

As I understand it, those would be:-- the atmosphere's extreme pressure-- its extreme temperature-- its extreme acidity.Other than that, it's a perfectly hospitable place.


Does the planet Venus' have any stars?

If by that you mean: 'Does the planet Venus have any Moons', the answer is no. If you mean what you say, you need an astronomy coarse because if you could look through the atmosphere of Venus (which you cant because it is opaque) then the stars in its sky would be the same as those seen from Earth.


What planet has a poisonous atmosphere?

Venus does Venus is bigger than Mars, almost the same size as Earth. It is covered with a thick dried up lava crust. Venus does have an atmosphere, mostly made up of carbon dioxide (what we breathe out). There is also a thick poisonous cloud cover around Venus, made up of sulphuric acid droplets. Ouch! Venus is the hottest planet, because any heat that gets in to the surface is trapped by those poisonous clouds, like the heat in a greenhouse. Venus is the brightest object in the night sky (besides our moon), because the sun's light reflects really well off those thick acid clouds. A year on Venus is about 225 Earth days. Venus spins very slowly, having about 243 Earth days in one Venusian day. So, it takes longer for Venus to spin on its axis than for Venus to circle the sun!


How many moons those venus have?

Why is the moon a good place to test if the affect on a object is to do with air resistance?

The moon, like most of the uiniverse, has no atmosphere and is almost pure vaccum. No air at all means that if aiir has an effect, the results of any experiment would be different than those on say Earth or Venus.


Why do people believe that preservation of the Amazon rain forest is a global concern?

People think it is a major concern mainly because it "IS" a major concern for those of us who would like to keep breathing the oxygen in earths atmosphere, and for those who would like their grand children to have free oxygen available via the earths biosphere.


Earths original atmosphere was mad of gases similar to those?

to those found in volcanic eruptions today, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. These gases were likely released from the Earth's interior through volcanic activity. Over time, the atmosphere changed as oxygen levels rose due to photosynthetic organisms.
