Can there be live on venus?because im doing a project and we have to form a colony on a planet and i choose it

Answer 1

Don't get discouraged by the answers you have gotten so far. Not only could Venus be a good place for a colony, but it might be one of the best in the solar system.

What people have told you about the hostile environment on the surface is true. BUT... high in the atmosphere, there is probably an altitude where the pressure and temperature are comparable to what we live in here.

Your colony would need to be a floating one, suspended by several large balloons or blimps. This could support a small habitat which would house a few people. The atmosphere would be carbon dioxide, but this would not be harmful if you wore a simple respirator when you go out on your porch. If the temperature is right, you wouldn't have to wear a space suit, either. I believe the sulfuric acid in the atmosphere is all down at lower levels, but maybe you could find more info on this. If I am right, you wouldn't have to worry about it way up where your colony is.

You would need to have your own supply of oxygen and water, as there would be very little in the high, thin atmosphere above the clouds. And since Venus rotates so slowly, you could probably propel the colony at a speed that would keep it in the same position, relative to the sun, so it wouldn't get too cold or hot during Venus' long days and nights. Or it could be placed above the terminator and go back and forth between light and dark without having to move too far or too fast.

Oh, and you could grow plants like crazy, outside. They would *love* it there!

(Psst: no "scientist" seriously considers human life settling in other galaxies.)

Dr. Anders, I'm fascinated by your Venus ambitions, but let's be fair, now. You know, don't you? This would take thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands. Right?
Also, I don't believe there is a stable orbit that keeps an object between the planet and the sun. The LaGrange point would be nowhere near there. The blocker would have to be a ring in orbit around Venus. That would have to be at least 10 or 20 thousand miles wide and a couple 100,000 miles in circumference. Let's say, about 2 billion square miles. Do-able, but far, far in the future.

Answer 2

The three spheres in Venus doesn't help to the existance of organisms. The atmosphere contains too much of harmful gases. The temperature is high too. The land doesn't suit too.By the way how can organisms survive without water?

Answer 3

The surface temperature on Venus ranges over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Conditions are not favorable for life to exist.

Answer 4

you're asking 2 questions yet so a great way basically quite getting solutions to one. confident, i think of there is life on different planets. The chemical reactions to form the undemanding development blocks of life are somewhat elementary. Given the extensive numbers of stars it quite is extremely in all probability that there are different earth like planets and given the nicely suited situations life is almost inevitable. No, i don't have confidence in UFOs. I even have in no way seen any credible data for travellers from area and that i think of our point of technologies is such that we could have no worry detecting them in the event that they did bypass to.

Answer 5

I think instead of venus , mars is better suited for colonies

Answer 6

There can be no life today on Venus but Venus is still a far better candidate for terraforming and colonization by humans than Mars. Here´s an answer I copied from myself. I tend to write entire essays on this subject whenever someone ask this question. I´m hung over right now and a wee bit tired...

<<<<<<<
Yee of little faith (to the above answerers). All your voes are addressed below.

Yes humans can terraform Venus. Block out 88% of the light and Venus would get just as much sunlight as earth. And that is the only thing that has stood between Venus being dead and Venus being alive all this time. Not its atmosphere.

Almost all of Venus primordial atmosphere is still there. There is much less water now but there is enough. If Venus cooled down then first the sulphuric compounds would be able to rain down on the surface as sulphuric acid. It would react with the soil to form sulphates and water and as those sulphuric compounds make up the bulk of the venutian haze Venus would suddenly clear up and we would be able to see the ground in its true color.

Next phase of the cooling involves for the temperature to drop more so that the water can condense. As the pressure is higher, then water can condense at higher temperatures. And as water droplets reach the surface the real magic begins.

Water dissolves CO2. It also reacts with the oxides in the venutian soil to form hydroxides. Carbonic acid + hydroxide makes carbonate + water (just oxides cannot react with CO2). The carbonate is stable while the water evaporates to rain down once more and dissolve more CO2 and hydroxide. And more. And more. And more. This reaction goes on until there either is no more CO2 or no more oxides in the soil (the oxides have to be there as there has never been any hydrological processes on Venus). The exact same thing happened on earth long ago. And the process all but removed the CO2 completely from the atmosphere. In the beginning earths atmosphere was about 70 times as dense as it is today (compared to Venus 90 times). All that CO2 is now locked up as carbonate rock. The oxygen in earths atmosphere is really CO2 that was "rescued" from becoming carbonate rock by photosynthesis that turned it into oxygen and biomass instead. The nitrogen in earths atmosphere has always been there as it is virtually inert. So what would be left of Venus atmosphere if the CO2 was removed? You get an atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen with a surface pressure of about 1 atmosphere because Venus has nearly the exact same amount of nitrogen in its atmosphere as earth has...

So all the ingredients for a livable planet are there. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. There isn´t much hydrogen as the water has been destroyed by the suns ultraviolett rays throughout the eons but enough remains to cover all of Venus with an ocean (of water) 1 foot deep were it all to condense. I would say it just might be enough to make Venus livable. The beauty of this is that you wouldn´t even need to take a single step on the Venutian surface through the entire process as you build the sunblocker in space. Once built nature would take its course. And once the haze has cleared, the CO2 turned to rock and the water gathered in oceans, then you land. You can pull out your tanning chair, sit down by that little puddle of an ocean you built and enjoy those 5832 hour days of sunshine...

The blocker you build in the LaGrange point in between Venus and the sun. It would have to be big. It would have to be the diameter of Venus itself. No diffusing lenses though. They won´t do enough. Just a blocker built in a grating array. That way you don´t need to use any expensive materials. Just something that doesn´t let sunlight through. The grating configuration and the wave nature of light makes sure that the grating pattern isn´t imprinted on Venus as a shadow as the light "merges". On the surface you will never know the blocker was there. And if a small portion of it is built out of solarpanels you would get enough electricity, as a byproduct, to power what ever civilization emerges on Venus. And all of earth too. Run a current round the perimeter of the thing and presto: instant artificial magnetosphere! Compare this idea with the idea to build a planet sized mirror by Mars to heat it up despite Mars being too small to ever hold onto an atmosphere. There isn´t even enough nitrogen left on Mars to grow the grass for a 9 hole golf course...
>>>>>>>

Make this little experiment part of your project (if you have a presentation):
Put a few scoops of sodium or potassium oxide (Na2O, K2O) into an empty 2 litre soda bottle. Flush it with CO2 from a pressureized tank and screw on the cap. The oxide will simulate the current composition of the Venutian soil and the CO2 the atmosphere. Shake it about and show that nothing happens. Now, carefully (it gets real hot), squirt in some water and screw on the cap once more. Shake it around and look what happens as the oxide becomes hydroxide and begins to react with the carbonic acids also formed by the water. The bottle shrivels up like a raisin...

-edit-
All two body systems (in this case the Sun and Venus) have a stable LaGrange point right inbetween them.

Answer 7

yes women come from Venus men from Mars. Google Venus and u get ur answer

Answer 8

Not human life, certainly.
Have a look at this...

Anything living on Venus would have to be adapted to these conditions.

Answer 9

No. There cannot be life on Venus.

Answer 10

while life on Earth is carbon based Venus would have to be based on another substance such as silicon (which is less likely to melt and give the women bigger breasts).
