Greenhouse effect on Venus, artwork C017 / 0784
Greenhouse effect on Venus. Computer artwork of the surface of Venus, showing how the heat from the Sun is trapped in the planets atmosphere. Venus has a thick, acidic atmosphere, which traps the heat of the Sun (a runaway greenhouse effect). This makes Venus the hottest planet in the solar system, with surface temperatures reaching over 400 degrees Celsius

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Greenhouse effect on Venus" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the extreme conditions of our neighboring planet. Created by artist David A. Hardy, this computer-generated illustration vividly portrays the surface of Venus and its unique atmospheric phenomenon. The image showcases how the greenhouse effect operates on Venus, trapping heat from the Sun within its thick and acidic atmosphere. Rays of sunlight pierce through the dense clouds, illuminating the planet's surface with an otherworldly glow. The intense heating effect caused by this runaway greenhouse effect makes Venus the hottest planet in our solar system, with temperatures soaring above a scorching 400 degrees Celsius. Hardy's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of Venus' geographical features and geological structures. The swirling cloud formations add depth to the composition while emphasizing the turbulent nature of this hostile environment. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, it serves as a reminder of both Earth's fragility and resilience in maintaining a delicate balance for life to thrive. It urges us to appreciate our own planet's stable climate while inspiring further exploration into understanding distant worlds like Venus.
