Abstract

Venus, Earth's sister planet, presents numerous challenges for spacecraft due to its toxic environment, extreme temperatures, and hurricane-force winds. Despite these obstacles, missions to Venus have revealed a complex and intriguing planet. Evidence suggests that Venus may have once had oceans and a more temperate climate. Future missions to Venus are planned to further explore its mysteries. Venus serves as a valuable source of information for understanding climate change and extreme weather on Earth. Additionally, the study of Venus has contributed to the awareness and regulation of harmful chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons, which deplete the ozone layer. [Extracted from the article]
