Venus is the 2nd nearest planet of the sun, it is called the twin of earth. It is names after the Roman goddess. This planet rotates clockwise, where the other planets in our solar system is rotating anti clockwise (except urenus). It consists of a very dense atmosphere, due to the presence of a dense atmosphere the temperature of this planet is very high (approximately 464 degree Celsius) and the atmospheric pressure is 89 times greater than earth. Most of the sunlight is absorbed by the planet atmosphere and can’t reflect it to the space, so the temperature has reached to a higher level, which makes it non habitable foe any kind of living organisms. The atmosphere of the planet is consist of 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen. There are also present hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and carbon monoxide in the environment. Before the development of modern technology scientists thought that the environment of venus was as similar as earth. But the modern scientists discovered the reality of this planet. The recent study shows that, there is presence of phosphine in the atmosphere of venus. Phosphine can only be exist in the presence of microbial organism, so the scientists are getting excited to explore venus spontaneously. Though the scientists are not able to find any microbial life on this planet but they hopeful to find any kind of life form in the near future. In the upper atmosphere the pressure and temperature are lower than the planet surface, where this phosphine has found. In the cloud of venus the temperature is about 75 degree Celsius, so the scientists are making a theory to build a floating city in the cloud of venus. Though it is hypothetical, scientists are getting forward to work on this plan and trying to find a way to make this a reality.
