SDO's ultra high definition view of Venus Transit 2012
In this video, we explore the fascinating cloud patterns of Venus, the second planet from the sun. Venus is known for its thick atmosphere, composed mostly of carbon dioxide, with clouds made up of sulfuric acid droplets. These clouds create a dynamic and ever-changing pattern in the atmosphere of Venus.
The video showcases stunning images captured by space probes and telescopes, highlighting the different cloud layers and their unique characteristics. We learn about the fast-moving winds in the upper cloud deck, reaching speeds of up to 225 miles per hour (362 kilometers per hour) and the distinct features like vortexes and spirals.
Additionally, the video discusses the phenomenon of Venusian atmospheric super-rotation, where the atmosphere rotates much faster than the planet itself. This causes the clouds to move rapidly across the surface, forming intricate patterns and wave-like structures.
The video also touches upon the role of Venus' thick atmosphere and its greenhouse effect, creating a scorching hot surface temperature of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius). The cloud patterns not only play a crucial role in the planet's climate but also provide researchers with valuable insights into the dynamics and composition of Venus' atmosphere.
Overall, this video offers a captivating look at the mesmerizing cloud patterns of Venus, shedding light on the unique characteristics and dynamics of this neighboring planet.
