Terraformed Venus

Description

Terraformed Venus in Photoshop. I basically took a raw image of the planet Venus and used the curve tool to "fill" in the oceans. This is what Venus might've once looked like or what it might look like if terraformed. With so much CO2, Plants love it so they would convert most of it into Oxygen. In this case, the new Venus has 10% more Oxygen than Earth. Water covers 80% of the surface because the Venus terrain is mostly flat, but it will only have 80% compared to Earth's water. Despite the converted atmosphere, Venus keeps its high-pressure winds and cirrus clouds but the pressure is reduced by 95%. Since Venus is closer to the sun and it's slightly tilted, there are almost no seasons so the planet remains tropical all year long.

Venus old atmosphere:
96% carbon dioxide
3% nitrogen
1% argon, helium, and water

Venus new atmosphere:
70% nitrogen
29% oxygen
1% carbon dioxide, argon, and water

Average Temp: 60 degrees Fahrenheit
Average Polar Temp: 10 degrees Fahrenheit
Revolution: 225 days
New Rotation: 24 hours

EDIT:

The new and improved version of Terraformed Venus!

Actually, this is how Venus likely looked billions of years ago, before it lost its oceans!
