Venus spins slowly, yet its upper atmosphere races around the planet in just a few days, driving hurricane‑force winds that have puzzled scientists for decades. Researchers now argue they have ...

On a flyby of Venus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured the first visible light images of the cloudy planet’s surface from space, a new study reports. The nightside view of the extremely hot surface ...

Venus is famously hot, due to an extreme greenhouse effect which heats its surface to temperatures as high as 450 degrees Celsius. The climate at the surface is oppressive; as well as being hot, the ...

Mysterious features on the surface of Venus might suggest that there is activity under its surface, scientists have suggested. Almost circular features on the surface might suggest that it has active ...

The surface of Venus is a hellscape with temperatures hot enough to melt lead, but some regions of its atmosphere high over the surface remain cool enough to harbor ice and birth ghostly clouds. When ...

What is the importance of studying explosive volcanism on Venus? This is what a study published in the Journal of Geophysical ...

An international team has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the tectonic evolution of terrestrial planets.

Richard Ghail is Professor of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London. He spoke with Srijana Mitra Das at TE ...

When it comes to the question of which planet humanity could one day call home, the obvious choice might seem to be Mars. But surprisingly, Venus might actually be a better candidate for human ...
