Wind on Earth, Wind on Venus |
| Wind plays an important role in keeping the temperature of our earth comfortable. On neighboring planet Venus the temperature of the surface reaches up to 460 deg. C and a wind called 'super-rotation' blows at a speed of 100m/s. The Venus-explorer PLANET-C, scheduled to launch in 2010, will enhance our understanding of planetary climate systems including Venus.
