Thick sulfuric clouds downpour constant acid rains on the surface that are immediately evaporated. The winds at the surface are slow but they are carrying around considerable amount of dust and rocks. However the atmosphere of Venus is layered and at about 50-65 km above

    and clouds of sulfuric acid are also their. The air of Venus is so dense that the nitrogen is four time the amount on Earth. This composition causes a runaway greenhouse effect that heats the planet even hotter than the surface of Mercury, although Venus is farther from the sun. In addition to warming the planet, the heavy clouds shield it, preventing observations of thesurface and protecting it. Winds of about 224 mph keep the clouds of Venus in constant motion. Though the planet spins slowly, only

    believed to have been created by volcanic activity on Mercurys' surface. Venus Venus' atmosphere and climate has been studied carefully as it is believed this is what our atmosphere may come to be in the future. With an atmosphere made up of approximately 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen it has an astonishing atmospheric pressure of about 1352 pounds per square inch - which is approximately 90 times that of Earths. Venus' climate is complicated as it varies largely across the planet. With temperatures

    To have someone that you love with all of your being but does not return those affections at the same level can be tortuous.

    The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is the result of the interaction of the atmosphere of a world and the radiation emitted from the Sun and planet. This process essentially makes a world warmer that it would be. As we will learn in this chapter there are many factors that determine the strength of a world’s greenhouse effect including a world’s size, the world’s distance from the Sun and the strength of a world’s magnetic field. Before you can learn about the factors that influence the greenhouse

    There are many different items that make up the solar system, and they are all classified very differently. Two of the most important items in our solar system are the planets and the moons. They differ in geologic activity, composition, interior structure, magnetic fields, and atmospheres. There are multiple probe missions, both past and present, that support these concepts. There are physical factors and characteristics that are important in determining the property of the items. In this paper
