Venus Runaway Greenhouse Explorer 3D vs Alternatives
The Venus Runaway Greenhouse Explorer 3D shows the CO2-blanket temperature contrast with Mercury in the browser - planetary fact sheets win for the full precise dataset; climate textbooks win for the radiative-transfer math behind the greenhouse effect.
| Option | Strength | Access | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venus Runaway Greenhouse Explorer 3D (this page) | Draggable CO2 slider, real-composition snap, Mercury and pressure comparisons in one 3D scene | Free, in browser | Teaching approximation; not a radiative-transfer or climate model |
| NASA Venus Fact Sheet | Exact published atmosphere, pressure, and temperature figures | Free, published reference | No interactive 3D scene |
| Climate / atmospheric-science textbooks | Full radiative-transfer derivation of the greenhouse effect | Free/paid, education-focused | No 3D teaching scene |
Key published figures
| Figure | Value |
|---|---|
| Venus surface temperature | about 464 C (737 K), day and night |
| Venus surface pressure | about 92 bar |
| Venus atmosphere composition | about 96.5% CO2, about 3.5% N2 |
| Mercury dayside maximum | about 430 C at the equatorial hot poles |
| Mercury night minimum | about -180 C |
| Distance from the Sun | Venus about 0.72 AU, Mercury about 0.39 AU |

Why trust these tools
- Ten-plus years of web tooling. The freetoolonline editorial team has shipped browser-based utilities since 2015. The goal has never changed: get you to a working output fast, without an install.
- No install, no sign-up. Open a tool and get a working output in seconds - nothing to download and no account to create. Tools that need heavy processing run it on our service, so even a low-powered machine gets the job done.
- Analytics stops at the page view. We measure which pages get visited, not what you type or upload inside a tool. There is nothing to sign in to and no profile is attached to your input.
- Open-source core components. The processing engines underneath (libheif, libde265, pdf-lib, terser, clean-css, ffmpeg.wasm, and others) are public and audit-able. We link to each one in its tool page's footer.
- Free, with or without ads. All tools are fully functional without sign-up. The Disable Ads button in the header is always available if you need a distraction-free run.
