Venus is called the planet of hell, because if any human goes here, he will be destroyed in a moment. The conditions here are such that no living creature can survive here. Not only animals, but also no equipment will be able to work here, because such dangerous things keep coming out from its surface, which are going to destroy everything. A few years ago, scientists had confirmed the presence of oxygen on Venus. But now it is being said that oxygen and carbon are slowly leaking from the planet Venus. Scientists are not able to understand the reason for this. Is this a threat to the earth?
According to the report of Live Science, unlike Earth, Venus is a planet with an internal magnetic field. Its atmosphere is dominated by carbon dioxide. Nitrogen and other gases are also present, but in very small quantities. In November last year, scientists discovered that oxygen remains widespread on Venus at night. Some molecules continue to be released even during the day, but as solar radiation is decreasing, the concentration of oxygen is also decreasing.

Now the flyby data of Europe’s BepiColombo Space Research has said something new. According to him, many types of gases including carbon and oxygen are being removed from the atmosphere of Venus. This data was obtained when a spacecraft bound for Mercury passed near Venus. Scientists believed that when sunlight falls on Venus, its atmospheric atoms get charged, which creates electric currents. This creates the magnetosphere. But now scientists say that now the flow of these molecules has become very fast and they are leaving the planet.
Why is oxygen leaking from Venus?
Dominic Delcourt, head of the research team, said, why oxygen is leaking from Venus cannot be predicted. However, it is very important to understand how the atmosphere of Venus developed. How did it lose all its water? Is this change going to have any impact on the earth too? It is very important to find the answer to this. BepiColombo will reach Mercury in late 2025 after a seven-year journey. Perhaps only then will we know what he saw. This research has recently been published in the Nature Astronomy Journal.
