WORLDWALKVenus
Planet · 0.72× Earth's distance from the Sun
Almost Earth's twin in size, but its thick carbon dioxide air traps heat in a runaway greenhouse. The surface is hotter than a pizza oven everywhere, day and night, and the pressure is like being 900 m under the sea.

Walking on Venus
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 63 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 55 cm.
- The air is about 92 times denser than at sea level on Earth: thick enough to slow a falling rock.
Landmarks in the game
- Maxwell Montes (scaled down): Maxwell Montes, about 11 km high, is Venus’s tallest mountain range. Clouds hide the surface, so it was mapped by Magellan’s radar.
Real maps, real physics. Gravity, temperature and air pressure are the real values, and they change how you move, what you hear and how long your suit lasts.
