If there’s one thing that’s clear about Venus, it’s that it’s inhabitable. You just need to take one look at its clouds of sulfuric acid, winds that regularly reach 240 miles per hour, crushing pressure, and surface temperatures that reach 900 degrees Fahrenheit. (If there’s one thing that’s not clear about Venus, it’s the 12-mile-thick layer of clouds that reaches up to an altitude of 42 miles, covering the surface entirely.)
