The harshest places in the Solar System

The vast solar system hides undiscovered things, especially its harshness, from storms with wind speeds of thousands of kilometers per hour, to geographic regions with temperatures rising thousands of degrees Celsius. .

Discover the harshest places in the Solar System

For decades astronomers have used telescopes to decipher the mysteries of atmospheric conditions of distant worlds. From winds with cyclone velocities on Neptune to the waves of billions of degrees on Venus and also the bad weather in other great worlds in our solar system. That's enough to make us happy when we live on Earth.

The world of winds

The winds always seem to scream on Neptune , whose velocity is much greater than Earth, about 1500 km / h. Scientists think that heat released from layers of rock inside the planet causes convection in the atmosphere.

With a rotation period of about 16 hours, the spread of heat can produce wind with record speeds and giant storms on this blue planet.

The winds blow all year round on the blue planet

Shooting star

Once the 9th planet in the solar system, Pluto receives a small amount of sunlight, only about 1/1000 of the Earth.

Although its orbit is sometimes closer to the sun than Neptune, but on this celestial body the nitro gas freezes, me-tan and carbon still remains deep.

The temperature here ranges from -197 degrees C to -187 degrees C. And at the point where it lies farther away from the Sun, about 7.2 billion kilometers, the atmosphere seems to freeze, creating beauty . dead.

Pluto is always in a state that scientists like a cold ice cream.

The Moon is Melting

Saturn's largest moon exploration - Titan, Cassini - Huyghen has found evidence of rain filled with liquid methane .

The ship also discovered channels on the moon's surface that were "carved" by these methane rain rice . The only liquid on the moon Titan is methane which is explained by the house due to the extreme temperature of the surface - 143 degrees Celsius.

The methane clouds make the Titan moon so fanciful

Heat destroys

Named after the god of love and beauty, but with a temperature of 476 degrees C and full of water vapor, Venus (Venus) is considered the hottest planet in the solar system. Some even call this "hell" . When heat radiation from the sun hits the cloud layer, the heat cannot escape back into space. Indeed, this is a dead planet . And with pressures up to 90 times that of Earth, any guest is sure to be crushed.

Scientists believe that high heat is a sign of super-greenhouse effect . The atmosphere mainly consists of carbon (CO2) with sulfuric acid clouds.

Heat and pressure make Venus an ideal destination for any guest.

Terrifying lightning storms

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has recorded electromagnetic storms that can be as large as the North American continent on Mercury.

The lightning in the storm is 1000 times more powerful than Earth. The spacecraft also discovered storms strengthened from the northern hemisphere of Mercury, called " Storm Valley".

The storm lasts about 3,500 km from north to south, it also causes the same interference as in the lightning storms on Earth.

Terrible lightning strikes on Mercury are so many that they can be considered lightning storms.

Dust storm

Mars is known for storms that completely sank a hemisphere and circled the planet.

The dusty rust wind can blow on the surface at a speed of 97-161km / h, lasting for several weeks or months.

Once it started, the dense fog covered almost half of the planet, raising the temperature to 30 degrees C.
