Heat and solar wind play a major role in sweeping water away from Venus's atmosphere, but there are other chemical ways for water molecules to break apart. Modeling these reactions in the ionosphere can provide insights into Venus's drying process and its current surface conditions.
Learning exactly how Venus lost all its water is key to understanding how the planet became the hellscape it is today. This knowledge could shed light on the possibility of life adaptation in Venus's current harsh conditions.
