Venus Atmosphere, Rotation

Scientific paper

Venus has a dense and high-temperature atmosphere with 92 atm and 730K at the surface. The high temperature near the surface is maintained by the greenhouse effect due to a huge amount of carbon dioxide, which is a main constituent of the atmosphere. It is observed that the Venus atmosphere rotates in the same direction with the solid part (its rotation period is 243 Earth days) and at 70 km altitude this atmospheric rotation is 60 times faster than the solid part. This superrotation is introduced in detail.
