Venus in comparison with Earth

Water

All the water , due to bright sunlight, evoparated resulting in a denser atmosphere

Bright sunlight splits the water molecules into H and O

Hydrogen escapes into space due to its lightness

Reason for high temperature?

Not because of closeness to the Sun

Due o high percentage of Green House Gases such as Carbon-Dioxide

Due to water vapour that absorb heat

Lightning

Differs from how lightning is produced on Earth

On Earth, Lightning generates Radio waves

Enviroment

venus has turbulance

Huge amount of atmosphere Carbon-dioxide

atmostphere is 100 times denser than Earth

consists heavily of Water vapour

Size and composition

Has about the same size

Is made of similar elements through out

Support of the hypothesis of escaping H

Compared the amounts of H remains in the atmosphere with Deuterium

Deuterium being heavier cannot escape the atmostphere

The ratio of H and Deuterium is 150 times as that of Earth

Yesteryear theories

Wasbelieved to have same enviroment

Was believed to have been covered by tropical jungles
