A4_7 The greenhouse effect on Venus

This article investigates the greenhouse effect on Venus and ascertains whether it is wholly responsible for the very high Venusian surface. The temperature of Venus turns out to be 482 K (including any greenhouse effects), which is far below the observed surface temperature of Venus, implying other factors at work to increase the surface temperature, but still demonstrating the ability of the greenhouse effect to raise the surface temperature of a planet by at least tens of degrees.
