Venus was habitable long before Earth – scientists

Венера стала обитаемой задолго до Земли, - ученыеAmerican scientists have found the first planet in our Solar system was not Earth, and Venus.

It 3 billion years ago was very different climatic conditions that contributed to the development of life.

Scientists note that their findings are confirmed by numerous facts. First, the oceans on Venus disappeared only 715 million years ago, before they existed, and their depth was up to 2 kilometers.

Second, the overall climate was softer. Based on these facts, scientists have concluded that Venus was inhabited long before the Earth. Now the second planet in the Solar system is the complete antithesis of the “house of mankind”.

On Venus the temperature reaches 450 degrees Celsius, and the whole atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide. It should be noted that previously, scientists have advanced the theory that this planet was not always so.

The researchers suggest that in the past Venus was faced with an incredibly large cosmic body that changed the trajectory of its rotation around its axis. Subsequently, this has led to global climate change.
