How long did the ocean of Venus last?
The simulation of Colorado researchers has shown that the ocean of Venus lasted billions of years more than previously thought. The greenhouse effect of the young Venus caused the evaporation of water and the accumulation of clouds. Thanks to this, the average temperature of the planet was 100 °C lower than previously estimated.
This result is a consequence of a broader research. The study focuses on the evolution of the geological and atmospheric structure of Venus. Venus was a damp planet in its youth, but as the Sun grew stronger, it was warmed and dried up. These changes that occurred over the years along the Billions supposedly directly affected the geological and atmospheric structures of the planet. Therefore, through simulations they seek a better knowledge of Venus.
