The bold question-askers at What If explore whether life could survive on Venus given its gravity is 91% that of Earth's.

Venus is hiding something very, very big. Every so often, a wave of hot air rises up from the planet's Hell-like surface and stretches across its entire diameter. The stationary gravity wave, as ...

For decades, Venus, often dubbed “Earth’s twin,” has been depicted as a barren, inhospitable world, its surface locked in an unchanging, oven-hot state. Yet, recent data from NASA’s Magellan orbiter ...

The European Space Agency's Venus Express orbiter have has spotted many small-scale 'gravity' wave trains in the planet's clouds. The waves are mostly found at high northern latitudes ...

A massive bow-shaped bulge stretching about 10,000-km (6,214-miles) was spotted on the surface of Venus by Japan's Akatsuki probe last December. Scientists believe that this strange bulge may be ...

Look, Venus is just a weird planet. "With Venus and Earth, it's like you had two chocolate cake mixes and ended up with one chocolate cake and one lemon cake," says Ellen Stofan, NASA's former ...

As gravity attempts to restore equilibrium, it overshoots, causing a wave effect. This is what probably caused the 10,000-kilometre (6,214-mile) wave across the surface of Venus.

Venus, captured in 1990 by NAS's Galileo spacecraft as it got a gravity assist from Venus to send it on towards Jupiter. The blue hue is added false color to emphasize the subtleties in the ...

Venus's atmosphere is comprised of 96.5 percent carbon dioxide and 3.5 percent nitrogen, along with trace amounts of other gases like oxygen and sulfur dioxide.

(CNN) --While on a journey to study the sun, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has captured an incredible new view of Venus.The mission, which launched in 2018, is intended to study the sun and reveal ...
