Yeah! That’s precisely the reason Venus stopped rotating! Uhhh, ... wait a minute. Venus is still rotating. My bad!
Ahh but Venus is rotating backwards.
Found this curious little bit while looking to see if venus is tidally locked to the sun:
A curious aspect of Venus’ orbit and rotation periods is that the 583.92-day interval between successive close approaches to the Earth is almost exactly equal to 5 Venusian solar days (precisely, 5.001444 of these), making approximately the same face visible from Earth at each close approach. Whether this relationship arose by chance or is the result of some kind of tidal locking with the Earth is unknown.
“Yeah! That’s precisely the reason Venus stopped rotating! Uhhh, ... wait a minute. Venus is still rotating. My bad!”
Absolutely.
Now we have “scientists” expressing theories on presumptions for which they have not even considered the mathematical facts to substantiate the presumptions.
The biggest erroneous assumption is that, as the planet warms, and plant life finds conditions favorable to it expanding, that all additional CO2 goes into the air and not into the expanding plant life (which sucks up CO2). False assumptions lead to false premises, even without the math.
Venus’ rotation is somewhat unusual in that it is both very slow (243 Earth days per Venus day, slightly longer than Venus’ year) and retrograde.
Yeah, her days are longer than her years.
