Jul 10, 2023 · Venus receives twice as much solar irradiance at the top of its atmosphere as Earth does at the top of its atmosphere. Could this abundant energy be harnessed by solar collectors above the...
Feb 3, 2022 · Picture Venus. You know, the second planet from the sun, where the clouds are shot through with sulfuric acid and the surface is hot enough to melt lead. What color is it?

Remote sensing by the Pioneer Venus, Venera-15, and Venus Express spacecraft revealed significant latitudinal variations in the mesospheric temperature and cloud structure (Grassi et al. 2010, Lellouch et al. 1997, Taylor et al. 1980, Tellmann et al. 2009, Zasova et al. 2007). In particular, both the cloud top altitude and aerosol scale height at t...
Radiation carries not only energy but also entropy. Its flux is proportional to that of the radiative flux divided by the temperature at which energy is deposited or emitted. Since heating by solar radiation and cooling by thermal emission occur at different altitudes and temperatures, planets have non-zero (usually negative) balance of radiative e...
The planets receive solar energy in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectral ranges, in which their atmospheres are relatively transparent. The surface and the lower atmosphere eliminate the absorbed energy by emitting radiation at infrared wavelengths. Strong absorption bands of gases and aerosols trap the heat in the lower atmosphere ...

Feb 26, 2024 · Venus would also need to be cooled down from the scorching sun using some kind of sun shade, which has the side effect of collecting solar energy for potential human or robotic use.
Stefani et al. (2016, 2021) proposed that the Sun could be at least synchronized by the tides of Venus, Earth and Jupiter, producing an 11.07-year cycle that reasonably matches the Schwabe cycle. Longer cycles could be produced by a dynamo excited by angular momentum transfer from Jupiter and Saturn.
Jul 7, 2016 · The ‘natural frequencies’ of the myriad organic molecules that make up a rose petal correspond with frequencies of light that are – mostly – blue through yellow. Thus, roses are red. The Sun emits light of every possible frequency at once, including at frequencies too high or too low for us to see.
