Ice On Venus??

Here are a few ideas for physical conditions on Venus that you probably need to find out before you can answer the question, "Is there ice on Venus?":

• temperature
• atmospheric pressure
• composition of atmosphere.

Some details you may need to know about temperature and pressure:

• for atmospheric pressure, the unit 1 bar = average pressure at sea level on Earth.
• for units of temperature, if its given in degrees Kelvin (K), you can convert to Celsius by subtracting 273. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius degrees by 9/5 and add 32.
