Our beautiful planet, Earth is the blue pale dot in the Solar system which is responsible of harboring life Plants, animals, people and all we already know. But our planet is just one of the planets of our solar system in this vast universe, full of galaxys and stars. That is one of the reasons why Humans have been looking among all this vastness for a place with similar characteristics to our home but it is not that easy as it is watched in movies and science fiction series. For example, one our spatial neighbors, Venus, which is often compared to Earth and even called its twin planet because of its many common characteristics such as size, surface composition but this one is as different of Earth as is Heaven from Hell. That is why life as …show more content…

There are no oceans and its dense atmosphere of sulfuric clouds that make the surface does not exceed its surface (90 per 100 times higher than ours), causing a greenhouse effect, similar to the one that happens in Earth but in a highers scale, which raises the temperature to 480 ºC. It is simple and terribly scorching. Due to the dense atmosphere and its chemical composition Venus experiences a huge greenhouse effect that raises the temperature of the surface to over 470ºC. Greenhouse effect on Venus. The long-wave radiation emitted by the Sun reaches the upper atmosphere of Venus, where it is reflected in its upper part by upper clouds. Part of the radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and part of it reaches the surface and the lower atmosphere warms it. The hot surface is cooled by emitting a short-wave radiation that is absorbed very efficiently by the greenhouse gases that make up the atmosphere of Venus. Radiation is re-emitted on the surface that involves cooling and the greenhouse effect, the effect of the atmosphere of Venus. In this case, they are made of sulfuric acid droplets and are found at a height between 50 and 70 km above the surface at temperatures comparable to those that characterize the earth's surface. The clouds of Venus are very reflective making Venus the most reflective body of the Solar …show more content…

About their Dough we found that Venus has about 85% of the Earth's mass and in terms of Volume in comparison with Earth shows that Venus has about 86% of the volume of the Earth. And now considering the facts that make them so different despite their similiar measurements it was found that their Composition and structure shows some sort of important clues in terms of their physical approach. The fact that both planets have a metallic core that theoretically has been cooling at a similar rate throughout history. The similarities in size, mass and volume allow us to think that both planets have a similar internal internal shape too. Now considering the amount of characteristics that differentiate Venus from Earth. We have that Venus Surface although is known that this one, the internal surface, is similarly similar, we know that the surface of the planet Venus is radically different from that of the Earth. Basically because the surface of Venus does not present, practically, altitude variations. A difference of the Earth, whose surface is almost completely irregular, the surface of Venus does not present significant changes of height and depth, this is because there are no tectonic plates on Venus, or at least there is no evidence of them. It is also important that we do not forget the most obvious and fundamental
