Daytime on other planets

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-28] [Hit: ]
the venera landers were crushed under the massive pressure shortly after they were able to send pictures back to earthhttp://astrobob.areavoices.com/files/201…also fun fact, you can cook a 16 inch pizza on venus in 7 seconds thats how hot it is!Daytime sky on Neptune, Jupiter,......
So what would the daytime sky on Mercury and Venus look like?
Just curious.

There are pictures of the surface of Venus from the Vanera landers (my display picture)
The atmosphere is very thick and the sky is a golden yellow, you can google pictures from the vanera lander.

Mercury has an extremely thin atmosphere, so I'd guess itd look something like how it does on the moon, except much closer to the sun.

Edit: Just gotta search the right things. I tried venus venera landers


here is a picture straight off the surface, the venera landers were crushed under the massive pressure shortly after they were able to send pictures back to earth

that's how hot it is!

Daytime sky on Neptune, Jupiter, and other gas giants would not be anything you are used to. If you did find a core to stand on to look at the sky, you would see their immensely thick atmospheres. More so than Venus. Pluto would most likely have a black sky, with a tiny little sun. Mars of course has a red daytime sky, and a blue sunset.

If you were to look up in the sky during the middle of the day on mercury... you might want to make sure you're wearing extra protective sun glasses because your view will be dominated by the sun. Yet, besides the sun itself, you'd just see blackness. Since Mercury has almost no atmosphere, its sky does not refract light so there is no color for your eye to observe.

On Venus, the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. During the day it would look like a thick brownish orange haze. You probably would not be able to see very far however. Clouds on venus would not look anything like they do on Earth. From the surface, they would almost appear liquid and vary in shades of brown and orange.

If you could descend far enough down into Neptune's atmosphere you would, for one be blasted by immense winds. But if I had to guess what it would look like to look up at the sky on Neptune I would imagine a color similar to the waters you see around many Caribbean resort isles - just very very dark. And you would see dark white and blue clouds, again, like liquid flowing through the sky. Since Neptune's atmosphere is in such turmoil, these clouds would likely change and flow right before your eyes.

Personally, if I could see the sky and weather on a different world, I would want to go to Saturn's moon Titan. There the atmosphere is dominated by methane, largely liquid and gaseous. But it does have weather, even rain fall. Some think that Earth may have looked like Titan 3.5 billion years ago.

Mercury has no appreciable atmosphere. So there would be a very large sun in a black sky.

Venus has a thick, opaque atmosphere. Even though it is much closer to the sun, about 1/6th of the light that reaches earth reaches the surface. So It would look like a very dark storm at its brightest.
