As explained by the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium, the conditions on Venus make it completely unlivable for humans. With temperatures of more than 850 degrees Fahrenheit due to its closer proximity to the sun, anyone who lands on the planet will likely be cooked in seconds. And that's not mentioning the toxic atmosphere that exerts about 90 times more force than the atmosphere here on Earth. That means there's a very good chance you'll be crushed and burned to death while taking a last gasp of poisonous gas soon after landing on Venus.
But what if we assume that thanks to some form of super-advanced technology, it would one day become possible to live on Venus? According to Space.com, it literally wouldn't be a walk in the park for anyone who lands on the planet's surface due to the fact that it's totally dry — the Venusian atmosphere is almost completely composed of carbon dioxide, which traps heat and ensures that temperatures remain at extremely high levels.
In addition, Venus' atmosphere makes pea soup appear downright watery in comparison, and if you want an even better idea of how thick it is, Space.com wrote that the pressure on the planet's surface is comparable to how it is 3,000 feet under the ocean on Earth. "The air is so thick that if try to move your arm quickly, you would feel resistance. It would almost be like being in water," Venus Express project scientist Håkan Svedhem told the publication.
