What Seal said. Worse still is that Venus' atmosphere is also a very good thermal insulator. Probably one of the reasons Venus still have volcanism even without a moon or magnetic dynamic core to keep churning it's crust, is that it still has a lot of thermal energy trapped.

Pareidolia.

Sounds like a job for AI.

Earth is as geologically active as it is because it has a big moon that keeps tugging on it. Without it, Earth would probably be as ossified and lifeless as Mars and Venus.

@livingexcuse3767 lol. I suggest starting over with some basic astronomy books and avoiding sketchy conspiracy web sites.

Venus's atmosphere has been in a steady state for a very long time. Very much likely its primordial composition. Its a titanic heat trap, but without new solar input it would have cooled from radiation and the solar wind stripping gas away over the broad scope of time. Just because it hasn't been "proven" doesn't mean its not the most likely theory.

We know that Venus does not have much of a magnetic field at all. Probably only localized. The high atmosphere generates a stronger one than the planet does. Also Venus has a sluggish, retrograde spin. Vulcanism does not mean tectonics. AFAWK Venus does not have any plate dynamics. Geological activity does not have to be correlated with magnetism. It could be driven purely by residual convection like "hotspots" on Earth.

Its still a hellhole.

Yes for all but the largest. Its probably more protective than Earth's.

You could have learned that in the time it took you to write the question...

Venus' interaction with the solar wind produces a magnetic field, like a "bow shock wave" that sort of makes the comparatively dense gases "sticky". So it doesn't lose as much. Outgassing from the planet probably helps too.

Temperature is too high. But the density is such that it is as close to liquid as a gas can get.
