Yes thats right: the CO2 is in supercritical state. As far as whether that makes it an 'ocean planet', it's a matter of semantics I feel. SCF combines aspects of both gas and liquid. It expands to fill the available space like a gas, but can dissolve things somewhat like a liquid. On the whole, SCF I feel mostly acts like a dense gas. I give some presentation about it here th-cam.com/video/_73M518zAUw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WcTeaiDXttNjRLWa&t=556 The Venus SCF CO2 is much less dense than water. So you wouldn't be able to swim/fly in it. You'd still fall downwards, and walk around on whatever you land on, albeit fairly slowly.
This is a wonderfully detailed answer for something I never considered before. The animations really helped visualize that you could throw a basketball as hard as possible and the drag stops it after a short distance all the same.
Yeah I wonder if the "let's pretend it won't compress" didn't actually screw up the simulation. If we let the ball compress keeping the spherical profile (or just shrink it magically), the mass would be preserved, but area affecting drag would be reduced significantly. To a _ballpark_ (haa get itm?) of tenis ball..? It shall not require a mortar then, yet the ordnances shall still be very welcome :)
Hi @mr.rabbit5642, you can see what happens if we fill the ball with SCF CO2, at 0.5atm above Venus ambient pressure, here th-cam.com/video/p-bKqXXrO8E/w-d-xo.html
Note: I saw another reply from you somewhere, but can't seem to find it now, whee you asked what about, rather than pressurizing it, we let it shrink. Yeah, interesting idea :) Thank you :) 🙌
It would be cool to see this on every planet (and some of the other interesting astronomical objects). especially seeing how the differences in gravity would increase the complexity of the results.
I like how your mention every possibility (like the ball melting and getting compressed) and beyond (like using a warhead instead) and constantly making comparisons between them on earth vs Venus.
The atmosphere at the surface of Venus is under sufficient pressure that it’s not technically a gas, but rather a supercritical fluid, like what you’d find in a steam engine (only with co2 instead of water). So Venus sort of has a global ocean!
@@drunkenhobo5039in terms of temperature they absolutely do (depending on what you count as a steam engine), but i don't think any steam engines have that much pressure (perhaps unless nuclear power plants count as steam engines, probably not even then)
@@drunkenhobo5039 Supercritical steam generators are a thing, apparently they’ve existed since the 1920s. I could’ve sworn locomotives used supercritical steam, but I must’ve gotten that confused with something else.
I wonder if there's an ideal object for playing a game like basketball on Venus? A golfball? A golfball made of osmium? There's gotta be a point of size and density where a hunan can realistically throw the object like a basketball on Earth.
@@rlhugh Hmm. I know torpedo shapes can get some momentum, but yeah, thinkgs would mostly react to gravity. In water, at least, you could use verticality to make some very interesting sports, but I assume the same isn't exactly true of Venus's atmosphere. Or... Is it? You can't swim in Venys's atmosphere, can you? Regardless, perhaps some sport related to running (or swimming) with a baton, almost like a head-to-head relay race where the competitors are basically fighting over one baton. A bit like football, even.
The ball won't collapse if you inflate it to the same gauge pressure (so 90 bar more absolute pressure than on Earth). I'm not sure what pressure and gas you're assuming it's filled with for the buoyancy figure. Anything at one bar absolute would be fairly buoyant if the ball didn't collapse (but it will at one bar absolute). At 90 bar, Earth air will at least be somewhat buoyant, but with a partial pressure of oxygen inside of 18 bar, and the high temperatures, the ball is likely to burn violently on the inside until it bursts. That leaves local air at 90 bar, which won't be buoyant
Good point about oxygen from the air inside the ball causing the ball to burn 🙌 Note that I'm calculating buoyancy based only on the volume and the density of the gas displaced. The mass of the air inside the basketball, I'm calculating as a separate 'gravity' force. Using SCF CO2 inside the ball increases the mass by 50%. Video (unlisted) of what happens here: th-cam.com/video/p-bKqXXrO8E/w-d-xo.html
@@rlhughwhat if instead we would shrink it to the volume it would compress to (so like, till the pressure levels equalize), but keeping the spherical profile? The area would drop decreasing drag. I wonder if it would give a better effect than inflating the ball..
@@EdKolis thanks! Took a bit of trial and error, but the hoop is slightly oversized, so that makes it easier :) I couldn't find a firing solution when using a real mortar shell though. And then after trying for a while thought "well, I guess it's an HE shell. We only need to land nearish" :)
Hey i have an simmilar video idea Where does the Sun set faster on Mars or Earth? Earth is closer to the Sun so its angular size is bigger but Earth spins a little bit faster than Mars and reverse Mars is further away from the Sun so its angular size there is smaller than on Earth but Martian sol (day) is a little bit longer than 24hrs
Regarding the basketball vs mortar? could the difference in apogees be because of the launch speed? You took the launch speed to be 450km/h for a mortar shell, which with its heavier weight means it has more momentum. But surely if we launched our indestructible basketball out of the mortar we would expect far greater speeds than that of the much heavier mortar shell? I noticed you assumed the same speed at launch for both. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Nice video though.
I am defining the muzzle velocity as an invariant. For serving machine, it is set to 40m/s. For mortar it is set to 200m/s. Of course in reality the ball would just disintegrate immediately, and if it didn't, the drag inside the cannon would be very high. But I'm assuming we are adding enough explosive to make muzzle velocity invariant, and I'm assuming indestructible basketball. Great question. Thank you!
the pressure differential betwen the 1atm inside the ball vs the 92 atm outside wouldnt make it buoyant? im not entirely aware of the dynamics that are at play here, but i think its force would be enough to couteract the gravity.
Thank you for your question. The mass of the rubber etc making up the non-air part of the basketball is 615grams. The air at 1.5atm inside the ball weighs 13grams. The mass of the SCF CO2 displaced by the volume of the ball is 471grams. For the ball to float the total mass of the rubber etc and the air (615grams + 13grams) would have to be less than the mass of the SCF CO2 displaced (471grams). I'm assuming a ball radius here of 0.12m, giving a volume of 4/3 pi r^3 = 0.0072m3. You can multiply this by the density of air at 1.5atm(1.5 * 1.2kg/m3), and SCF CO2 (65kg/m3), to check the masses of the air and the SCF CO2 respectively. Now if the material making up the ball didn't have mass - e.g. a balloon that magically doesn't collapse either - then yes, the air at 1.5atm would basically be a vacuum, relative to the 90atm CO2, and the balloon would float, you are right.
Yes, exactly. Filling it with SCF CO2 would raise the mass goes up by 0.471kg, from 0.635kg to 1.105kg. Density will increase accordingly. The reason I used the earth surface density is because I feel that when we think of 'a basketball', we are thinking of the earth one, filled with 80:20 N2:O2 mix, at STP. There's an (unlisted) video of what happens with SCF CO2 here though th-cam.com/video/p-bKqXXrO8E/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RLHugh (I'm not sure why this unlisted video says 0.986kg 🤔 That might be a typo 😅 )

If the air on Venus weighs 65kg per cubic meter, how could our astronaut even move his arms fast enough to throw anything? Does he have a powered suit?
Yup, magical suit. I figured it's more fun to use 'magic' to fix a bunch of things, whilst leaving other things to vary, than to have to deal with everything at once, which would be like ... phd level amount of work perhaps... (Ditto for the mortar too by the way. Like, muzzle velocity would be nowhere near what it is on earth).
Liquids and gases both do not have a fixed shape, and both yield easily to pressure. Liquids are nearly incompressible. Gases fill the space available. On the surface of venus, there is a third state 'supercritical fluid'., or SCF. You can think of SCF as basically like a very dense gas.
Gravity might be the same but die to the atmosphere (drag and buoyancy) it falls much slower. The carbon dioxide is much denser there than our air. Same with water and air on earth, same planet, same mass but water is much denser
Gravity is similar yes (8.87m/s2 on Venus; 9.8m/s2 on Earth). However the drag and buoyancy on Venus are much higher because of the vastly different atmospheric density (65kg/m3 on Venus vs 1.2kg/m3 on Earth).
This really puts into perspective why the Venus landers only needed a collar and some shock absorpers.

Gravity is similar yes (8.87m/s2 on Venus; 9.8m/s2 on Earth). However the drag and buoyancy on Venus are much higher because of the vastly different atmospheric density (65kg/m3 on Venus vs 1.2kg/m3 on Earth).
