Why Venus rotates backwards and so slowly, just one revolution every 243 Earth days?

Comparative planetology can bring a lot to our understanding of Earth and our environment. Venus and Earth could have been expected to be similar (and may have been in their early histories), but we do not know why they evolved so differently. If their atmospheres were very similar in the beiginning, then obviously something changed on Earth or on Venus, but we do not know what or when.

Moreover, the 'greenhouse effect' alone cannot account for today's extreme conditions on Venus. Most importantly, the combined knowledge of structures, chemistry and dynamics of planetary atmospheres, such as Venus, Mars and Titan, will help in better understanding Earth's atmosphere and improving our climate models. What makes Venus Express special?

Venus Express is special because it aims to study the Venusian atmosphere and clouds in unprecedented detail and accuracy. It is ESA's first ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
