   The possibility of life on Venus is a subject of interest in astrobiology due to Venus ' proximity and similarities to Earth. To date, no definitive evidence has been found of past or present life there. In the early 1960s, studies conducted via spacecraft demonstrated that the current Venusian environment is extreme compared to Earth's.

   Jul 28, 2023 · Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System, even though Mercury is twice as close to the Sun and receives four times more solar energy. At the surface, Venus has average temperatures of 470 degrees Celsius (878 degrees Fahrenheit) — hot enough to melt lead. Venus is so hot because of its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, which traps heat ...

   Nov 6, 2023 · Tectonic Clues Point to a Habitable Past. A recent study has turned the tables on our understanding of Venus by suggesting it once featured Earth-like plate tectonics. This assertion, derived from Venus’s current atmospheric composition, signals that the planet might have supported life billions of years ago. Credit: NASA/JPL.

   Can we find past life on Venus?

   • We don’t know for sure, though, and looking for evidence of past life on Venus is almost impossible with current technologies. Although orbiters can teach us a lot about a planet, to search for signs of past life we need to take a much closer look.

   Is Venus habitable?

   • Venus is no exception. “The community has speculated about possible life on Venus, but until we know whether Venus was ever actually habitable in the past, it’s difficult to say much more beyond these speculations,” says Dr. Giada N. Arney, deputy principal investigator for DAVINCI at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland.

   Could there be life near the surface of Venus?

   • Although there is little possibility of existing life near the surface of Venus, the altitudes about 50 km (31 mi) above the surface have a mild temperature, and hence there are still some opinions in favor of such a possibility in the atmosphere of Venus. The idea was first brought forward by German physicist Heinz Haber in 1950.
