How (the lack of) Geography Doomed Venus

  • Venus is often referred to as Earth's sister planet. But if this were true, how can the two planets in some respects be so radically different? Well as it turns out, the answer may in fact lie in the planet's geography, or really in the planet's LACK of geography.

      ​@@EmblemOfCoD While you're not far off, it's not quite correct what you were saying.
      Both "geo" and "graphy" come from ancient greek, "geo" meaning obviously earth and "gráphein" to write. That's also the reason why it's called "Areography" (from the god Ares) and something along the lines of "Marsography".
      If you wanted to latinize the phrase, it could be something along the lines of "terrascripture" consisting of "terra" and "scribbere".
      For Venus the terms could be "Venuscripture" or "Aphroditeography".

      You'll want a solar shade to block all sunlight, Giant atlas pillars with radiators on them reaching from the surface up into space. You'll have to strip most the atmosphere away, forget how that was done.
      None of that solves the problem he mentioned with the magma, it just gets the surface down to Earth temperatures.

      You def need rotation to create a magnetosphere. I don't know tho if Earth's core rotates much relative to the rest of the planet or if the 24 hour day cycle does it all.
      The why is much more interesting tho, everything had angular momentum as the planets were forming, what stole it away from Venus? Probably the Sun mostly but did having a hotter more fluid core contribute..??

      Clouds made of sulfuric acid
      Surface occasionally drowns in lava from flood volcanism releasing pressure from radioactive decay
      I don't know what the surface light looks like though.
      So its basically as close to hell as you can resonably get, excluding a magma chamber with enough air to be considered spacious, all you need are some souls of the damned but that can be fixed with a manned mission gone terribly wrong.

      We’d basically have a solar system with a colder Earth, but with Venus’ Gravity and it being cold enough for plate tectonics to develop, I could see both planets developing life independently and eventually becoming aware of each other’s existence as cities develop and they see the lights, which could lead to technology developing slightly faster and interest in space exploration actually staying around after the moon landings. Basically that’s a much cooler timeline, since we get a solar system with two Earths

    It was nice to see your face to put with the voice! Oh, and the cat is awesome!
