Can Venus be colonised?

Venus, despite being incredibly inhospitable on the surface, might actually be a better target for colonization. Suspending blimps in the Venusian clouds is not only feasible, but offers some of the most Earth-like conditions in the solar system.

What adaptations would you need to live on Venus?

Venus has an atmosphere that is mostly carbon dioxide. So you would need to bring oxygen in your space ship to be able to breathe. Carbon dioxide also happens to be a “green house gas,” meaning that it absorbs the sun’s warmth and heats up the atmosphere.

Is Venus closer to Earth than Mars?

Venus gets as close to Earth as 38 million km, and Mars gets as close as 55.7 million km. In terms of size, Venus is almost a twin planet of Earth. Its diameter is 12,104 km, which is 95\% the diameter of Earth. Mars is much smaller, with a diameter of only 6,792 km.

What do Earth and Venus look like side by side?

If we could slice Venus and Earth in half, pole to pole, and place them side by side, they would look remarkably similar. Each planet has an iron core enveloped by a hot-rock mantle; the thinnest of skins forms a rocky, exterior crust.
