Polar regions are cooler than anywhere on Earth

Scientists have discovered polar regions on Venus even colder than anywhere on Earth.

Before that, the average temperature of Venus measured very high about 850 degrees Fahrenheit (450 degrees C / 725 Kelvin) in most areas on the surface of Venus.

In polar regions on Venus, these places have very low temperatures down to -250 degrees F.

But not every place is like that. The scientists also found that, in polar regions on Venus , these places have a very low temperature of -250 degrees F (-250 degrees C / 116 Kelvin) , which is a colder temperature than any other. wherever on Earth we are today. In addition, these polar regions are found to be overwhelmed by powerful air waves, a phenomenon that is thought to be important in forming the atmosphere on Venus.

The team used the data of Venus Express to study how the air density changes and perturbed over time. And they found two different types of waves acting on the atmosphere, which dominate the extreme Venus temperature, which is the gravitational wave of the atmosphere and the planet wave . Co-author Dr. Sean Bruinsma at the National Center D'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), France said in a statement.
