Which planet has the most extreme atmospheric pressure at the surface?
Quick Answer
Venus has by far the highest surface pressure of any rocky planet, about 92 times Earth's. Its atmosphere is thick enough to crush a human spacecraft quickly.
The Full Story
Venus has a surface atmospheric pressure of about 92 bar, which is roughly equivalent to the pressure nearly 1 kilometer underwater on Earth. This dense carbon-dioxide atmosphere creates a runaway greenhouse effect and makes the planet extremely hostile. Temperatures at the surface are hot enough to melt lead. Venus is therefore both the hottest planet and the one with the most crushing surface pressure among the rocky planets.
Key Facts
1.Venus's surface pressure is about 92 bar
2.That is around 92 times Earth's air pressure
3.Surface temperatures are about 465°C
