What is the escape velocity in km/s from Venus' exosphere, which begins about 168 km above the surface? Assume the gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2, and that Venus has a mass of 4.9e+24 kg and a radius of 5800.0 km.
What is the escape velocity is km/s from Venus' exosphere, which begins about 202 km above the surface ? Assume the gravitational constant is G= 6.67 x10-11m3 kg-1s-2, and that's Venus has a mass of 5.2e+24 kg and a radius of 6500.0 km
On the night side of Venus, we find that the brightest wavelength, that is the wavelength this region of the planet is emitting the most energy, is about 3.9 micrometers (3.9x10-6 meters). Approximately how warm is the planet in this region?
