A human could theoretically walk on Venus given that protective technology is up to par. Keep in mind that it's hot enough at the surface to melt solid lead and the air pressure is about 90 times greater than that of earth. Assuming that one could be shielded from these hazards technologically, walking on Venus could happen. You'd tire out pretty quick though. Moving about under that much atmospheric pressure would take a considerable amount of muscle power and stamina; it would be a lot like walking on the ocean floor with more than a mile of water on top of you...

Except rather than being very cold like it would be at that depth underwater; it would be close to 900 degrees, which would be very exhausting for a person to cope with for any practical amount of time, even someone quite physically fit.

You could but you wouldn't survive very long. Venus' atmospheric pressure at the surface is 92 times that of Earth, much like the pressure 1km under water. Also the runaway greenhouse effect caused by the sulfuric acid overcast has caused the surface temperature to be around 900 degrees, hotter than Mercury. Even though Venus' gravity is only slightly less than Earth, the pressure alone would crush you, then you would burn instantly. Sounds like hell huh?

You certainly can't stand on Jupiter. It is made of gas, even if you did: you would just sink down to it's core a burn to ashes. So, for your own good: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME

No, Venus has gravity like all other heavenly bodies.

No. Although it has a solid surface, it is too hot to even land on it. You could not survive on it.

How is Jupiter's surface?

Jupiter has no surface. It is a gas world. It is made up of gas, and thus, you cannot land on it.

Considering you can't stand on Jupiter and not sink it's a hard one to find out. It would vairy depending on where the moons were. But if you were to choose one it would be Lo


Is it possible to stand on Jupiter?

Actually, no. there may be a solid surface at the core of Jupiter, but you would not be able to stand on it. Well to get to it because going through all those gases Jupiter is made up of may seem easy... possible but you would actually be crushed by the pressure of it and die a horrible death.

Why can't humans live on Jupiter?

Jupiter does not have a solid surface like Earth does. In simple terms, it is just a large ball of gases. So we could not stand on it or be able to breathe.

How Strong Is Jupiter's Atmosphere?

Basically, Jupiter is made up only of atmosphere. The gas giants like Jupiter don't have a solid surface you can stand on, as on Earth; they are made up of an atmosphere that just gets denser and denser as you go further into the planet.


What is the difference between Jupiter and the world?

Glad you asked. First of all, because Earth (the world) is an inner planet, it is terrestrial, with a hard, rocky surface of which you can stand on and walk on with enough gravity to hold you down. But unlike Earth, Jupiter is made of gas, as well as the other outer planets, and you cannot walk or stand on Jupiter. You will fall right through Jupiter if you tried to stand on it. Also, when you fall through Jupiter, its atmosphere's pressure will crush you, and you will, well, of course, be dead and gone. Also, Jupiter is way bigger tan Earth. Let's just say that if you put Earth and Jupiter right by each other, it will be like putting the tiniest Chihuahua right next to a gigantic Great Dane. Last, but most certainly not least, Earth's and Jupiter's weather and temperatures are completely different. Because Earth is closer to the Sun than Jupiter, Earth's temperature and weather are warmer and milder than Jupiter's. Well, there. I sure hope I helped! -Nia Thomas 6th grader 12 years old :-)
