   With the hottest surface in the solar system, apart from the Sun itself, Venus is hotter even than the innermost planet, charbroiled Mercury. The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide – the same gas driving the greenhouse effect on Venus and Earth – with clouds composed of sulfuric acid.

   Feb 26, 2024 · These are soaking up a huge amount of energy — nearly half of the total solar energy the planet absorbs. As such, they seem to play a major role in keeping Venus as hellish as it is.

   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 has a diameter of 12,103.6 km (7,520.8 mi)—only 638.4 km (396.7 mi) less than Earth's—and its mass is 81.5% of Earth's, making it the third-smallest planet in the Solar System.

   space.stackexchange.com › questions › 2107

   Venus's solar radiance is about 2613.9 watts per square meter. A panel rated at 100W on earth, would produce 136 watts in space and 261 watts around Venus. This assumes the same environmental conditions, but basically you get about 2x the power.

   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. The reason? Venus’ thick, carbon dioxide atmosphere causes a runaway greenhouse effect.

   How much solar energy does Venus get from the Sun?

   • From a relative sense, Venus is ~0.72 AU from the sun, meaning via the inverse-square law, it gets ~1.93 times as much solar-energy per unit of area as at earth orbit. That said, I don't know whether PV efficiency will change if you double the sunlight coming in.

   Could solar energy be collected from Venus?

   • 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. The sun-observing Solar Orbiter spacecraft makes regular flybys at Venus, taking measurements of the planet's magnetic field as a side project. (Image credit: ESA)

   What is Venus like today?

   • With extreme heat and crushing atmospheric pressure, the surface of Venus today is one of the deadliest environments in the Solar System. 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.

   Why is Venus hotter than Earth?

   • First, Venus receives about twice the energy from the sun as Earth so it will naturally be hotter. Its present atmosphere is dominantly CO2 and 90 times thicker than Earth's atmosphere, rather than Earth's unique N2-O2 atmosphere modified by our planet's biosphere, which is an important difference that reflects its possible history post-formation.

   What type of atmosphere does Venus have?

   • Venus has by far the densest atmosphere of the terrestrial planets, composed mostly of carbon dioxide with a thick, global sulfuric acid cloud cover. At the surface it has a mean temperature of 737 K (464 °C; 867 °F) and a pressure 92 times that of Earth's at sea level.
