Therefore reduction means a receiving or gaining of electrons (decrease in its oxidation state),4 such as when an antioxidant donates an electron to a free radical. The free radical is reduced and the antioxidant is oxidized. The antioxidant is said to be the âreducing agentâ; it reduced the free radical.
First, alternatives to terraforming. It would be possible to live on Venus in the high atmosphere, in giant floating cities. Using a standard space-station atmospheric mix at about half an earth atmosphere, a pressurized geodesic sphere would float naturally somewhere above the bulk of the clouds of sulfuric acid.t would be possible to live on Venus in the high atmosphere, in giant floating cities.

Venus (Greek: Aphrodite; Babylonian: Ishtar) is the goddess of love and beauty. The planet is so named probably because it is the brightest of the planets known to the ancients. (With a few exceptions, the surface features on Venus are named for female figures.).Because of these similarities, it was thought that below its dense clouds Venus might be very Earthlike and might even have life.t may be the least hospitable place for life in the solar system. Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest. Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular of that of any planet, with an eccentricity of less than 1%.
