Venus may have once possessed strange oceans of carbon dioxide fluid that helped shape the planet’s surface, researchers ssy.

Venus is often described as Earth’s twin planet because it is the world closest to Earth in size, mass, distance and chemical makeup. However, whereas Earth is a haven for life, Venusis typically described as hellish, with a crushing atmosphere and clouds of corrosive sulfuric acid floating over a rocky desert surface hot enough to melt lead.

Although Venus is currently unbearably hot and dry, it might have once had oceans like Earth. Prior research suggested that Venus possessed enough water in its atmosphere in the past to cover the entire planet in an ocean about 80 feet deep (25 meters) — if all that water could somehow fall down as rain. But the planet was probably too warm for such water to cool down and precipitate, even if the planet did have enough moisture.

Instead of seas of water, then, scientists now suggest that Venus might have once possessed bizarre oceans of carbon dioxide fluid.

Carbon dioxide is common on Venus.

“Presently, the atmosphere of Venus is mostly carbon dioxide, 96.5 percent by volume,” said lead study author Dima Bolmatov, a theoretical physicist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

Mars

According to this news, Venus once have ocean like Earth including a lot og carbon dioxide. This is a good news for human because nowadays Earth have many problems for human to live. One example is Global warming. If Earth’s temperature gradually go up, we can’t live there. In addition, it is not easier for us to stop Glaobal warming. In this point, it is true that the time when we need another planets would come. So if we could make a specialfacilities that can live on mars, this news would give us chance. In conclusion we need more deep research by NASA and high technology to live on Venus.
