Despite being close to Earth and having nearly the same size, Venus is another world. Underneath its thick mantle of acid sulfuric clouds, at the surface 460 degrees Celsius are the rule. This temperature is kept by the greenhouse effect of a virtually carbon dioxide only atmosphere. Seventy kilometers above, one has to withstand a perpetual wind storm, the product of the so called Venus superrotation. A team of researchers led by the Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IAstro) is even closer to explaining the link between these infernal features.
