Origin and evolution of the atmospheres of early Venus, Earth and Mars
We review the origin and evolution of the atmospheres of Earth, Venus and Mars from the
time when their accreting bodies were released from the protoplanetary disk a few million …

Day–night cloud asymmetry prevents early oceans on Venus but not on Earth
Earth has had oceans for nearly four billion years and Mars had lakes and rivers 3.5–3.8
billion years ago. However, it is still unknown whether water has ever condensed on the …

A wet heterogeneous mantle creates a habitable world in the Hadean
Y Miyazaki, J Korenaga - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
The Hadean eon, following the global-scale melting of the mantle,–, is expected to be a
dynamic period, during which Earth experienced vastly different conditions. Geologic …

Venusian habitable climate scenarios: Modeling Venus through time and applications to slowly rotating Venus‐like exoplanets
MJ Way, AD Del Genio - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
One popular view of Venus' climate history describes a world that has spent much of its life
with surface liquid water, plate tectonics, and a stable temperate climate. Part of the basis for …

A cool runaway greenhouse without surface magma ocean
Water vapour atmospheres with content equivalent to the Earth's oceans, resulting from
impacts or a high insolation,, were found to yield a surface magma ocean,. This was …

Magma ocean, water, and the early atmosphere of Venus
The current state and surface conditions of the Earth and its twin planet Venus are drastically
different. Whether these differences are directly inherited from the earliest stages of …

Vertically Resolved Magma Ocean–Protoatmosphere Evolution: H2, H2O, CO2, CH4, CO, O2, and N2 as Primary Absorbers
The earliest atmospheres of rocky planets originate from extensive volatile release during
magma ocean epochs that occur during assembly of the planet. These establish the initial …

Retention of water in terrestrial magma oceans and carbon-rich early atmospheres
Massive steam and CO 2 atmospheres have been proposed for magma ocean outgassing of
Earth and terrestrial planets. Yet formation of such atmospheres depends on volatile …

Linking the evolution of terrestrial interiors and an early outgassed atmosphere to astrophysical observations
Context. A terrestrial planet is molten during formation and may remain molten due to
intense insolation or tidal forces. Observations favour the detection and characterisation of …
