A High Temperature Atmosphere is a type of atmosphere known for extremely high temperatures, far past what would be endurable or survivable for even the hardiest of conventional sophonts.
- Any habitation on such a world would come at great expense and would require a variety of heavy-duty protective equipment and environmental technologies.
- A high temperature world is typically known as an Inferno World.
Description / Specifications
High Temperature Atmosphere: Although not a toxic gas, air temperature on a world with a carbon dioxide, chlorine, nitrogen or Earth-like oxygen atmosphere might be so high as to qualify the world as Corrosive or Insidious. Venus is a prime example with its carbon dioxide atmosphere squeezed to 92 Earth atmospheres and cooked at 460 degrees Celsius. [1]
History & Background / Dossier
