The ocean may exist on Venus on Earth about 700 million years ago

French scientists found that Venus once had enough cloud cover to allow a liquid water ocean to exist on the surface.

Planetary scientists at Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University, France, claim that Venus, the second planet in the solar system, has a surface temperature of more than 470 degrees Celsius, each converging enough support factors life development support, including the ability to survive a thin ocean in the early days, according to the International Business Times.

The team ran a series of computer simulations, using various parameters to understand the development of Venus after its formation. They looked at the molten surface of the rock planet interacting with the atmosphere that is on its way to growth and the amount of heat coming from the Sun at a young age.

The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research: Planets on July 18, shows that Venus's slow spin rate is responsible for the formation of a continuous cloud covering the planet, keeping its temperature around. 15 degrees C 715 million years ago. These conditions combine with the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), the temperature from the Sun and the estimated amount of water on Venus, leading to the formation of a thin ocean on the surface.

According to Science News, with CO ₂ concentrations equivalent to the current level, Venus initially needed only 10% of the Earth's ocean water to create its own ocean. If you change the reflectivity of the clouds and some other factors, the figure will be 30%.

This finding will help scientists in finding planets that can live in our galaxy."Research results play an important role in understanding the habitable exoplanets , " Michael Way, an astronomer at the US Space Agency's Goddard Space Research Institute (NASA). ), said.
