text: In paragraph 3 in the story it says, there is a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide that blankets Venus. To add on to that, there are clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. The planets surface has temperatures that average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on Earth. It also says that besides the high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes and frequent lightning strikes to probees seeking to land on its surface. This is why it is so difficult of us to explore Venus because of its harsh conditions.
