Global Warming and Climate Change} More indepth about a planet being able to use cloud cover for temperature regulation!
The planet Venus, is in many ways a twin of our planet, first, in size slightly smaller than ours. Next, the make-up of the planet itself, considered to be one of the few terrestrial planets. And the make-up of its atmosphere now was very close to what ours was when it was young! 96% carbon dioxide, and many times denser, than we have now! And seemingly just as volcanic now as ours was back then. Perhaps this is where most of the similarity, ends. For Venus, differences are of greater importance, for how it turned out. The two main reasons for not having our type of life, first, her days are around 117 of our day's long, making photosynthesis, a very hard go, for using it as it's the mainstay of life. And because the planet has such a slow rotation, it has almost no magnetic field, which on our planet protects life, from the sun's radiation and solar flares. Both are very, detrimental to our type of life. But one more thing that Venus has, that turns out to be very important to life, when there is so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, is having Lot's and Lot's of clouds are in the atmosphere, that both cause sunlight to be reflected back into space, and to maintain what temperature there is at the surface. Of course, our clouds are made up of water vapor, and Venus's are made of sulfuric acid. And what sunlight hits the surface of Venus is converted into heat, and when sunlight hits our planet's surface, if there is plant life instead of rock, it will be changed into energy for growth, and not nearly as much into heat! What this all means is that there is a lot to learn about life on our planet, from studying the seemingly likes and unlikes of our sister planet, Venus! Oh yes, Venus, happens to be quite a bit closer to the sun, than our own planet is. (Which I deem is not as important as it's lack of rotation, but still contributes to having extra heat being generated.) Our own planet's loss of cloud cover is why it is so quick to heat up or cool down when carbon dioxide levels change! Reach me @ danielkadavy212@gmail.com or call me at 402-890-7946 in the USA. Denmark, Germany, Portugal, and the USA, a lot of hits from you all, I would like a little more feedback, then I have so far received.
