SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -With extreme surface temperatures reaching nearly 735 K (462 °C; 863 °F) and an atmospheric pressure 92 times that of Earth, the conditions on Venus make water-based life as we know it unlikely on the surface of the planet.

Detailed explanation-2: -Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide and it’s perpetually shrouded in thick, yellowish clouds of sulfuric acid that trap heat, causing a runaway greenhouse effect. It’s the hottest planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists say they’ve detected a gas in the clouds of Venus that, on Earth, is produced by microbial life. The researchers have racked their brains trying to understand why this toxic gas, phosphine, is there in such quantities, but they can’t think of any geologic or chemical explanation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The present-day surface of volcanic rock is blasted by high temperatures and pressures. Asked if the surface of Venus is likely to be life-bearing today, we can give a quick answer: a hard “no.”

Detailed explanation-5: -Venus’ atmosphere is extraordinarily thick, the temperature is extremely high, and sulphuric acid rains. The major component of the atmosphere found on Venus and Mars is carbon dioxide (95-97%) and as such it does not support life.

Detailed explanation-6: -Venus has the most massive atmosphere of the terrestrial planets, which include Mercury, Earth, and Mars. Its gaseous envelope is composed of more than 96 percent carbon dioxide and 3.5 percent molecular nitrogen.
