Why Venus Is THE WORST

The video discusses Venus' transformation from an Earth-like planet to a hostile environment due to a runaway greenhouse effect. It highlights the extreme conditions on Venus, such as high temperatures and pressure, which make human exploration risky. Robotic missions, like the USSR's Venera project, have provided data but face technological limits. Current exploration priorities focus on astrobiology and less risky targets like Mars and asteroids.

What caused Venus to transform from an Earth-like planet to a hostile environment?

• A collision with a large asteroid

• An increase in volcanic activity

• A runaway greenhouse effect

• A decrease in solar radiation

Why is Venus hotter than Mercury despite being farther from the Sun?

• Venus has a larger core

• Venus is closer to the Sun

• Venus has more volcanic activity

• Venus has a thicker atmosphere

What was the main achievement of the USSR's Venera project?

• Landing humans on Venus

• Sending 16 robotic probes to Venus

• Discovering water on Venus

• Mapping the entire surface of Venus

What is a major challenge for machines operating on Venus?

• Lack of sunlight

• Strong magnetic fields

• High surface pressure and temperature

• Frequent meteor showers

Why is Venus not a primary target for current space exploration missions?

• It has no atmosphere

• It is too far from Earth

• It has already been fully explored

• It offers less scientific value compared to other targets

What makes Mars a more attractive target for exploration compared to Venus?

• Mars has more water

• Mars has a thicker atmosphere

• Mars is closer to Earth

• Mars does not immediately destroy machines

What is a potential benefit of studying asteroids in space exploration?

• They are closer to the Sun

• They may contain water and life-related chemicals

• They are easy to land on

• They have a thick atmosphere
