Venus The Tiny Failed Gas Planet
Its in reality to small to be a gas planet.To close to the Sun too. Yet it kind of fits.Its surface can not be seen looking down from space.What if it had the fast rotation of Jupiter? It would have a vortex near its equator and would look like a red eye.It would have a great magnetic field.Its equator would be 39 miles further out than its poles. I posted this as something to think about. Trebert

What is the depth of the Jovian atmosphere compared to the radius of the solid surface? Want to take a second guess why Jupiter is called a gas giant and Venus a terrestrial planet? By the way Earth and Mars also have their surfaces obscured at times by materials in their atmosphere. had the fast rotation of Jupiter? It would have a vortex near its equator and What is it with all theses vortices? would look like a red eye.It would have a great magnetic field.Its equator The lack of magnetic field is hypothesized due to lack of temperature variation in its liquid core resulting in little convection. This is due to the locked crust, and little temperature difference across the mantle. This causes the slow accumulation of magma under the crust, until the pressure versus crust strength allows global release of heat as the magma breaches and overwhelms the crust. Then it solidifies and the crust locks for another tens of millions of years. There might be a brief surge of magnetism after a core resurface when the top of the mantle has cooled appreciably to the lower mantle and core. would be 39 miles further out than its poles.

On earth that's mostly a mantle bulge. -- Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eye are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye. |
