Does Venus’s surface experience meteorite impacts today? How do you know?
a. Yes. This is confirmed by Venus’s atmospheric composition, especially the abundance of deuterium. b. Not many. Since the atmosphere of Venus is very thick, most meteorites cannot reach the surface of Venus. c. No. Since Venus does not have a magnetic field, it does not attract meteoroids onto its surface. d. Yes. Meteorites fall onto Venus’s surface often because of the planet’s slow retrograde rotation and absence of moons.
