Earth used to be just like Venus is now: lots of lava, super high tempuratures, and a thick atmosphere.
But then there was this big explosion in which a mars sized object collided into earth and slowly, the Earth became what we see it as today. (and a piece of earth flew off but stayed within the gravitational pull of the Earth. This later cooled off and became known as our moon.)
Could this happen to Venus?
Could venus become another earth in the future?

Anything is possible!
Venus would need to shift into an orbit far enough away from the sun to be cool (and not too cool!) to harbour and sustain life.
It's far too close and hot at the moment but yes, theoretically it's possible I suppose.

Even if a Mars size object hit Venus and ripped away most of its atmosphere, Venus is too close to the Sun to ever be as cool as Earth. At the distance of Venus, sunlight is twice as hot. As astronomers say, Venus is not in the habitable zone, which means not at the right distance from the Sun for liquid water to exist naturally on the surface. Water would boil on Venus even if it had a very thin atmosphere.

No, I doubt it. Venus is critically nearer to the solar and has a a lot thicker surroundings than Earth (ninety cases our surroundings in truth). A runaway greenhouse result right here would be undesirable and would even extinguish us, however the Earth won't attain Venus temperatures by technique of greenhouse strategies. of course, in 5 billion years it's going to get a good purchase warmer than Venus whilst the solar swells right into a crimson huge, yet we are going to be long long previous (one way or yet another) by technique of then.

No Venus,is too close to the sun, and the Sun is gradually growing bigger, Mars has a better chance for colonization in our solar system. But we don't need to leave earth, It will be millions of years before that is necessary and technology and science will make all of space available.

In theory, I suppose. But Venus is so large, the gravity on the surface would crush you instantly. Squish, like a bug.
Upon impact, Venus would lose some mass, but not nearly enough to make it habitable for humans. If it did, it wouldn't be heavy enough to stay in its orbit.

In the future anything is possible, but right now Venus is too close to the sun for water to exist in its natural state. Mars is our best hope for tra-forming.

the answer is only one:it is not possible
because the earth is in the best and excellent point.i mean that the distance of earth to sun .i earth wwould be only 149.000.000km far from sun it will be impossible to live on earth.so i say if there will be posible to live there then the being will be very different.it will not be assemble to human.

No way!!!!! Is to hot for a living planet. Maby Mars, but hundred years after us, we are not able yeat to transforme a planet, we can't manage not even our planet climat change!! To bad for us....

no - it gets too hot to stop water boiling off - it only be colonised at best but never terraformed
