Suppose Venus were moved to Earth's orbit. Would it still have a runaway greenhouse effect?
A. Yes, because its water molecules dissociated and hydrogen was blown away by the solar wind, so there is no way to re-make its water.
B. Yes, because the Earth's orbit isn't that much farther, and we are experiencing global warming.
C. No, it is much cooler where the Earth is, so Venus would also cool down and eventually regain its riverbeds.
D. There is no way to know.
