Sep 22, 2019 · A temperate climate might even have been maintained on Venus today had there not been a series of events that caused a release, or ‘outgassing,’ of carbon dioxide stored in the rocks of the planet approximately 700-750 million years ago. “Our hypothesis is that Venus may have had a stable climate for billions of years.

Aug 11, 2016 · Previous studies have shown that how fast a planet spins on its axis affects whether it has a habitable climate. A day on Venus is 117 Earth days. Until recently, it was assumed that a thick atmosphere like that of modern Venus was required for the planet to have today’s slow rotation rate. However, newer research has shown that a thin ...

Sep 24, 2019 · It's believed that Venus may have been a temperate planet hosting liquid water for 2 to 3 billion years before a massive resurfacing event about 700 million years ago triggered a runaway ...
Sep 21, 2019 · The average surface temperature on Venus today is 863°F, but a new study claims that millions of years ago, the planet could have been a temperate place with liquid water on its surface.
Sep 27, 2019 · The key discovery Way made in his climate models of early Venus was a way the planet might have been able to keep itself cool. And that, in turn, depended on the planet's uniquely slow rotation ...
scenario, Venus could have harbored surface liquid water for long periods of time, until its temperate climate was destabilized and it entered a runaway greenhouse phase. In a third scenario, Venus’s inefficient outgassing could have kept water inside the planet, where hy-drogen was trapped in the core and the mantle was oxidized.
