Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The atmosphere of the Venus is extremely thick and the atmospheric pressure of gases is ____ times more as compared with that of the Earth.
A
75
B
90
C
85
D
92
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Venus has crushing air pressure at its surface – more than 90 times that of Earth – similar to the pressure you’d encounter a mile below the ocean on Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus is about 92 times that of the Earth, similar to the pressure found 900 m (3, 000 ft) below the surface of the ocean. The atmosphere has a mass of 4.8×1020 kg, about 93 times the mass of the Earth’s total atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Venus has no surface water, a toxic, heavy atmosphere made up almost entirely of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulphuric acid and at the surface the atmospheric pressure is over 90 times that of the Earth at sea-level.

Detailed explanation-4: -The surface air pressure on the planet Venus may be 75 or 100 times that on Earth–or four to five times greater than the Venus pressure reported recently by Soviet scientists–Jet Propulsion Laboratory researchers have revealed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Venus’s atmosphere is almost 100 times thicker than the Earth’s. Venus is only 28% closer to the Sun compared to Earth, and it had the same level of carbon dioxide, as did the Earth. However, Earth had the conditions to keep running and still water as liquid and create the life that absorbs a lot of the carbon dioxide.
