Detailed explanation-1: -Due to Venus’ immense pressure, water could have existed with temperatures as warm as 200 to 300 degrees F. But that is still likely too hot to have sustained any primitive life forms. As Venus continued to warm, any liquid water was boiled off into the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -The surface of Venus is harsh and unlikely to contain liquid water, despite being similar in size to Earth. Many scientists believe that Venus had water long ago just like Earth, but that the water was lost to space because Venus does not have a protective magnetic field like Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The low temperature of Mars conspires with the planet’s thin atmosphere (it’s 100 times thinner than Earth’s) to make water possible in only two forms: solid ice and gaseous vapor.
Detailed explanation-4: -Surface temperatures on Venus are about 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius) – hot enough to melt lead. The surface is a rusty color and it’s peppered with intensely crunched mountains and thousands of large volcanoes. Scientists think it’s possible some volcanoes are still active.
