KIDS TRIVIA

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 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-3: -Because Venus has such a dense atmosphere which is some 100 times thicker than the earth’s. Evidently, Venus is sufficiently close to the Sun that the little carbon dioxide it had in its early, Earth-like atmosphere caused the surface to warm up and leach out more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The clouds are far more acidic than any environments where microbes make their home on Earth. And instead of water, the clouds on Venus contain droplets of concentrated sulfuric acid; the atmosphere is so bereft of water that it’s many times drier than the driest desert on Earth.
