- Geological evidence and computer model simulations suggest that Venus may have been a very different place billions years ago. It may have been much cooler and had an ocean. In short, it may have been more Earth-like. It’s all down to the rotation of Venus.

Aug 11, 2016 · Venus may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures for up to 2 billion years of its early history, according to computer modeling of the planet’s ancient climate by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.

Aug 11, 2016 · However, newer research has shown that a thin atmosphere like that of modern Earth could have produced the same result. That means an ancient Venus with an Earth-like atmosphere could have had the same rotation rate it has today. Another factor that impacts a planet’s climate is topography.

Nov 6, 2023 · Venus, a scorching wasteland of a planet according to scientists, may have once had tectonic plate movements similar to those believed to have occurred on early Earth, a new study found. The finding sets up tantalizing scenarios regarding the possibility of early life on Venus, its evolutionary past, and the history of the solar system.
