Venus is one of the most interesting planets for studying the solar system. It has a very dense and dense atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect and greatly affects its climate.
Temperature
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system . The atmosphere and proximity to the Sun creates a strong greenhouse effect on the planet - the temperature on the surface is very high, and reaches about 460 ⁰С, and its daily fluctuations due to the large greenhouse effect are insignificant. At this temperature, tin , zinc , lead and other low-melting metals melt. Descent spacecraft also can not work on Venus for a long time. The average duration of their "life" is about 2 hours. The temperature on the entire planet, from pole to pole is almost stable and approximately equal to 462 ° C. None of the known life forms can survive on the surface of Venus. With an increase in altitude, the temperature also decreases - so at an altitude of about 50-55 km - it is about 80-30 ° C, which can be compared with terrestrial conditions, but at an altitude of 60 km it already goes into negative and reaches 100 km to 100 km ° C.
Climate Features
Acid rains occur on Venus, but they do not reach the surface of the planet, evaporating earlier. Lightning flashes have also been recorded, they are formed at an altitude of 50-60 km, and much more powerful than Earth. Giant hurricanes raging in the upper atmosphere, which revolve around the planet at a speed of 100-140 m / s. On the very surface of Venus - the wind is very weak, not more than 1 m / s.
