Default 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 Venusian atmosphere compared to the radius of the solid
surface? 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.

What is it with all theses vortices?

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.

So what? 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.

What CO2 has done to Earth.Venus' heavy atmosphere has done to make venus melt tin. Get the picture Trebert
