The surface temperature of Venus (over 450 °C) is far beyond the extremophile range, which extends only tens of degrees beyond 100 °C. However, the lower temperature of the cloud tops means that life could plausibly exist there, the same way that bacteria have been found living and reproducing in clouds on Earth. [76]
The highest point on Venus, Maxwell Montes, is therefore the coolest point on Venus, with a temperature of about 655 K (380 °C; 715 °F) and an atmospheric pressure of about 4.5 MPa (45 bar). [ 131 ] [ 132 ] In 1995, the Magellan spacecraft imaged a highly reflective substance at the tops of the highest mountain peaks, a " Venus snow " that ...
This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
Its thick and noxious atmosphere is dominated by carbon dioxide - 96.5% - with lesser amounts of nitrogen and trace gases. In fact, with Venus getting far less scientific attention than other ...
In 2004 scientists found trends of +0.19 degrees Celsius per decade when applied to the RSS dataset. [36] Others found 0.20 degrees Celsius per decade up between 1978 and 2005, since which the dataset has not been updated. [37] The most recent climate model simulations give a range of results for changes in global-average temperature.
Today's Venus can be described as hellish: there is almost no water vapor, the carbon dioxide atmosphere is 90 times as thick as that on Earth and temperatures can reach a scorching 864 degrees.
As a result of a runaway greenhouse effect Venus has a temperature of 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius), hot enough to melt lead. It is the hottest planet in the Solar System, even more than Mercury, despite being farther away from the Sun. [ 8 ] Likewise, the atmosphere of Venus is almost completely carbon dioxide, and the ...
