Venus has a rich and complicated atmosphere – the densest of all the rocky planets – which is the key to understanding the planet itself. Venus Express, designed to perform an extensive investigation ...

Venus and Earth share some atmospheric quirks – but how did Venus get so unbearably hot, while Earth is mild and temperate?

Have you ever found something unexpected in the background of a photo? Scientists looking at images of Earth taken by weather satellites found that Venus shows up in the background of some of the ...

Venus holds the record for the highest surface temperature of any planet in the Solar System, reaching roughly 870 degrees Fahrenheit (465 degrees Celsius), hot enough to melt lead. That figure, ...

Imaging data from Japan’s Himawari-8 and -9 meteorological satellites have been successfully used to monitor temporal changes in Venus’ cloud-top temperature, revealing unseen patterns in the ...
