Assume that Venus has an isothermal atmosphere with a surface temperature of 750 K. The surface pressure of Venus
is 90 times the Earth's surface pressure which is about 1013mb. Also assume that the carbon dioxide dominant
atmosphere of Venus is photodissociated and oxygen atoms are produced. These oxygen atoms stop the solar wind
at the ionopause distance where the atmospheric pressure of Venus and the dynamic pressure of the solar wind are
in balance. Accordingly, calculate the lonopause distance of the planet Venus if the solar wind density is 7 #/cm² and
solar wind speed is 410 km/sec.
How will Carbon Dioxide help the Martian atmosphere?
Since Mars has an atmosphere and it is composed mostly of a greenhouse gas, why isn't there a significant greenhouse
effect to warm its surface?
