Feb 27, 2023 · There are lots of exoplanets in what exoplanet scientists call the Venus Zone (VZ.) The Venus Zone is an orbital zone around a star where an Earth-similar planet would suffer a runaway Greenhouse ...
Aug 14, 2019 · Since efforts toward the detection and characterization of exoplanets are focused on Earth-size planets, Venus is an ideal and accessible exoplanet laboratory. Data from Venus have wide-reaching consequences for studying exoplanets and may be applied to modeling planetary atmospheres, surfaces, interiors, and geological processes that ...

with large atmospheric abundances of carbon dioxide and water. Furthermore, the young sun’s fainter output may have permitted a liquid water ocean on the surface. While on Earth a moderate climate ensued, Venus experienced runaway greenhouse warming, which led to its current hostile climate. How and why did it all go wrong for Venus?
Aug 11, 2016 · To test the range of ages and rotations over which the climate of paleo-Venus might have been stable, paleo-Venus was also simulated using a solar spectrum estimated for 0.715 Gya (Sim B), equivalent to ~94% of modern day solar luminosity (Table 1 and Figure 2b) and a solar flux at Venus's orbit ~70% higher than that for modern Earth. The value of 0.715 Gya was chosen to represent the time ...

Aug 11, 2016 · At its current rotation period, Venus's climate could have remained habitable until at least 0.715 Gya. These results demonstrate the role rotation and topography play in understanding the climatic history of Venus-like exoplanets discovered in the present epoch.
