My point of view is an alternative one which is that Mars most recently (over 65 million years ago) had likely humanoids somewhat like us living on it. If Venus had humanoids living there it was much further back because the sun is too hot now for humanoids or humans to live there on Venus now. So, from my point of view Mars likely was inhabited by humans before an asteroid from Maldek the planet blown up by a nuclear war hit earth and killed all the larger dinosaurs 65 million years ago in what is now the Gulf of Mexico which actually CAUSED the Gulf of Mexico in the ocean there eventually.
But, why are Venus and Mars BOTH at exactly 96% CO2?
IF you cannot answer this question then you cannot tell me straight faced that Venus and Mars were not once inhabited by some sort of air breathers who just took their civilizations too far like we have now also.
Even though Venus' atmosphere is something like 92 times more dense than Earth is I still believe at present this is what happened to both Venus and Mars over 65 million years ago by Mars and who knows how many millions of years more for Venus when the sun was cooler.
Here is the research that says basically that both Mars and Venus have 96% CO2 in their atmospheres now.

How does Venus' thick atmosphere survive against the solar wind ...

The traditional explanation for rocky inner planets and large gaseous
outer planets is that the outer planets are farther from the Sun, and
therefore can hold onto large atmospheres that don't get eroded by the
solar wind.
Okay so let's look at Venus. 30% closer to the Sun and has a much weaker magnetic field than Earth. So we would expect much less of an atmosphere, if any at all. But Venus' atmosphere is 92 times thicker than ours. How? Now I know the Venusian atmosphere is 96% carbon dioxide, which is heavier than O2 or N2, so it's a little more "stalwart" against the solar wind. But honestly I don't see how that's enough. CO2 molecular weight compared to O2 is 44/32 = 1.375 times heavier. But again, Venus is 30% closer to the Sun and has an extremely weak magnetic field. Let's also not forget how darn hot Venus is, which means its air molecules are bouncing around much harder, making it easier for the solar wind particles to come along and knock out that CO2 into space. Let's also not forget Mars, which also has an atmosphere 96% CO2 (very interesting why they are both 96%). But Mars' atmosphere is extremely thin, just a few hundred pascals. If the solar wind can do that all the way out to Mars, which is 2.1 times farther than Venus...then what is Venus doing with all that air? Some things I tried to think of that make Venus different from Earth or Mars: Venus rotates extremely slowly. Venus rotates in the opposite direction. Venus has no moon(s). Venus has no water, no tectonic or volcanic activity, and no people. I don't see how any of this would help hold its atmosphere against the solar wind. |
