Mercury & Venus


Venus on the other hand is a bit different from Mercury.  Venus is the second planet to the Sun.  Venus has thick clouds and an atmosphere that creates extreme greenhouse effect which bakes the planet up to incredible 470°C.  The atmosphere traps the heat from the Sun making this planet impossible to be lived on by humans or any other creates that live an Earth.  Or reasons for us not to be able to survive on Venus might be the fact that there is no water  or oxygen; the two most important factors of life for humans.  

Mercury & Venus


Let’s start with Mercury!  Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, so you would it expect it to be the extremely hot.  In fact it the hottest AND coldest planet.  Daytime temperature is 425°C and drops down to -150°C at night.  There is no atmosphere to hold the heat in at night.  But the daytime temperatures are far to harsh your human to survive.  Mercury has no volcanic activity, no rain and no wind.  With all of these conditions there is no possible way anything from Earth could survive of this planet.  Now other life that we do not have on Earth is a possibility, but nothing has been discovered.
