Venus, Earth’s Twin Sister
Venus, once potentially Earth-like with vast oceans, now endures scorching temperatures of 470°C and crushing atmospheric pressures. Studying Venus’ evolution helps scientists model planetary climates, understand atmospheric chemistry, and explore planetary habitability in astrobiology and space exploration.
