TL;DR Summary

Venus, once potentially habitable, now suffers from a suffocating atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, with surface temperatures exceeding 700 degrees Fahrenheit. As the Sun gradually brightened over billions of years, Venus entered a feedback loop that led to the loss of its water and the buildup of carbon dioxide, ultimately choking off any hope for rescuing the planet. This fate may also await Earth in approximately 500 million years as the Sun continues to brighten, expanding its habitable zone and potentially leading to a similar demise.
