   Oct 20, 2021 · Venus is an ideal test-case for examining how plate tectonics or some other type of crustal movement persists or disappears on big, rocky planets with atmospheres and a changing (but large) budget of both crustal and surface water. Another key mystery about the surface of Venus is volcanism.

   Nov 9, 2017 · Why Return to Venus? How did Venus become a sulfurous inferno, while Earth evolved to become the only known world with life? Although not currently habitable, Venus lies within the Sun’s "Goldilocks zone," and may have been habitable before Earth.

   DAVINCI will study Venus from its clouds down to the planet's surface – the first mission to study Venus using both flybys and a descent probe. It joins the VERITAS mission as the first NASA spacecraft to explore Earth's sister planet Venus since the 1990s.

   Why We Study Venus. 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.

   Jun 2, 2021 · Part of NASA’s Discovery Program, the missions aim to understand how Venus became an inferno-like world when it has so many other characteristics similar to ours – and may have been the first habitable world in the solar system, complete with an ocean and Earth-like climate.

   Scientists aim to understand why Venus and Earth are so different and how Venus became the scorching, hostile planet it is today. Why do we need to study Venus? Our neighboring planet may be a sweltering hellscape, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth understanding.

   Why is Venus important?

   • “Venus represents an important illustration of how planetary environments can evolve over time, and understanding that evolution is critical to our thinking in the search for life beyond Earth,” explains Dr. Stephanie A. Getty, deputy principal investigator for DAVINCI at NASA Goddard. 3. How did Venus form?

   Is Venus a mystery?

   • That was NASA’s most recent mission to Earth’s sister planet, and while we have gained significant knowledge of Venus since then, there are still numerous mysteries about the planet that remain unsolved. NASA’s DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) mission hopes to change that.

   Could Venus help us understand Earth and exoplanets?

   • Venus hides a wealth of information that could help us better understand Earth and exoplanets. NASA’s JPL is designing mission concepts to survive the planet’s extreme temperatures and atmospheric pressure.

   What can Venus teach us?

   • There is much, it would seem, that she can teach us. Our nearness to Venus is a matter of perspective. The planet is nearly as big around as Earth – 7,521 miles (12,104 kilometers) across, versus 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers) for Earth. From Earth, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky after our own Moon.
