It can also be a gas, seen as clouds.

Well, there isn’t any water on the surface of Venus, in form of rivers, lakes or oceans. (2) Due to the high atmospheric pressure, the winds on Venus are also relatively slow. Now we imagine that Venus once had oceans and water vapor in the atmosphere. It is closer to Earth than any other planet. But it is very different from Earth. Venus is the second planet from the Sun.It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.As the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon, Venus can cast shadows and can be, on rare occasion, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. Runaway Greenhouse. But water is still required for the life forms we know. Boy we’d be thirsty! Venus, just like Mercury, has no moons. We do not know enough about its surface to understand if there are traces of previous climates. Venus was originally cooler than what it is now and it had a greater abundance of water several billion years ago. Furthermore, we know from the extensive topographic relief long since verified by Earth- and spacecraft-based radar, that the crust of Venus is thick. If there was water on Venus, then maybe the planet got too hot because it kept on getting hotter and so the water all evaporated. In a cooler time, Venus might really have been "Earth's Twin", with rivers cutting winding channels across it; those channels may remain. These surface conditions have two effects. In the picture below, we can see water in its three states; a solid, a liquid and a gas. ... heat from sun could have evaporated water from surfaces of venus releaseing carbon dioxide absorbed in water. On that day, Death Valley, California, reached 134º F. If that isn't hot enough for you, try Venus. However, we can't rule out the possibility that there could be other life forms exist and they might be completely different from what we know. I don't entirely know why there is no water on Venus if there was before, I don't know where it went, but that is still one possibility, the temperature on Venus kept on rising a lot and because of this, the water on the planet Venus has been burnt up. Venus' greenhouse effect probably started from the presence of a lot of water vapor, but Venus is now a very dry place. Earth has lots of water, mostly in the form of oceans, rivers, and lakes.

Indeed, there is almost no water in the air, either. And yet somewhere along the way, Earth became a cosmic paradise for life as we know it, and Venus became a blistering hellscape. The planets in the Solar system are given the names of Roman Gods or their assistants. If the solar system has an underachiever, it has to be Venus. Venus has absolutely no liquid water. However, we know that Venus is not molten now, because our landers, and Soviet landers, have landed on a solid surface. The hottest day that we know of on Earth was July 10, 1913. Venus is about the same size as Earth — just a little smaller. The oceans boiled off, and after some period of time, perhaps 600 million years, there was no surface water. Also, … The planet is about the same size as Earth; it sits closer to the sun than we do, but not by much — 67 million miles, compared with 93 million miles (or 108 million km vs. 150 million km). (1) There is no water on the surface of Venus. Explain how we know. Perhaps Venus was had an Earthlike environment, but without life: Without life there is no oxygen; without oxygen there … The reason for this is that there are heaps of craters and absolutely loads of active volcanoes. The thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide on Venus turns it into a greenhouse (but without the happy plants). New findings from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars. We don't know that Venus had oceans, but there's every reason to believe it did. Water on Earth is abundant and can be found in its three states of matter.
