Venus is slightly smaller and lighter than the Earth. As a result, the gravitational acceleration at the surface of Venus gv = 8.9 m/s2 indicating a gravitational attraction slightly weaker than that of Earth. It is also closer than Earth, to the sun. The atmosphere of Venus is composed predominantly of carbon dioxide with very little nitrogen. Why might that be the case?
Consider the greenhouse effect in an atmosphere model consisting of two infrared-opaque layers. Find the temperatures of both layers and the temperature of the planet's surface.
Why is the atmosphere much rarer on some of the planets other than that on Earth?
