Venus spins slowly, yet its upper atmosphere races around the planet at roughly 220 miles per hour, a supercharged jet stream ...

New findings suggest that diurnal tides, driven by solar heat, are a major contributor to the extreme speeds of Venus's winds ...

A new study suggests that a once-daily atmospheric tidal cycle may be a bigger driver of rapid Venusian winds than previously ...

Venus spins slowly, yet its upper atmosphere races around the planet in just a few days, driving hurricane‑force winds that have puzzled scientists for decades. Researchers now argue they have ...

A new study finally uncovers what powers Venus's super-fast winds. Scientists found that a daily thermal tide—created by the ...

What is the importance of studying explosive volcanism on Venus? This is what a study published in the Journal of Geophysical ...

Planet Venus is one of the most fascinating places in the solar system, and the one most easily recognizable in the night sky. The true twin of planet Earth (no, it's not Mars), Venus has more things ...

Venus, Earth's hostile twin, is growing more unpredictable for upcoming space missions. Extreme heat, crushing pressure, and corrosive clouds already challenge spacecraft. New findings reveal rapid ...

Richard Ghail is Professor of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London. He spoke with Srijana Mitra Das at TE ...

It's possible that Venus and Earth once simultaneously existed as pleasant worlds hosting mild temperatures and oceans. Then, something went awry. In new research, planetary scientists simulated how ...

Offering incredibly high temperatures, crushing pressure, and a thick mix of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, the atmosphere on Venus is deadly to human beings, several times over – but China has ...

From a distance, neighboring planets Venus and Mars look remarkably similar to the Earth. But take a closer look, and it's easy to see why only our planet supports life. In the semester's final ...
