"The Tragic Demise of Venus: A Planetary Mystery Unveiled"

TL;DR Summary
Venus, once potentially habitable, now suffers from a suffocating atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, with surface temperatures exceeding 700°F. As the sun aged and brightened, Venus entered a feedback loop that led to the loss of its water and the choking buildup of carbon dioxide, ultimately sealing its fate. This fate may also await Earth in approximately 500 million years as the sun continues to brighten, causing the habitable zone to shift and potentially leading to a similar demise.
