The atmosphere should be superheated due to the thick atmosphere trapping in heat, much like Venus. Its atmospheric pressure fades exponentially, with a scale height of 7000 m. Its tallest point is 6450 m above sea level and is just south of the equator, at 1.90° W, 11.86° S.Įve's atmosphere begins at 96,708.6 m and is extremely dense: at 11,250 m, it's as thick as Kerbin's atmosphere at sea level (1 atm), and at Eve sea level the atmospheric pressure is 5 atm. The land masses look like purple sand dunes. According to the devs during a livestream, it was joked that the lakes were made of rocket fuel. The composition of the liquid which fills the oceans and lakes is unknown, but it is unlikely to be water because the boiling point of water is slightly below the surface temperature, even when taking the high atmospheric pressure into account. It requires about 7000 m/s of vacuum delta-v to get into orbit from sea level.Įve is 1400 km in diameter, making it 200 km larger than Kerbin, and the largest terrestrial planet in the Kerbal solar system.Įve has several oceans and large, flat continents with a few mountain peaks. The combination of high gravity and thick atmosphere makes return missions from the sea level of Eve very difficult. Its thick atmosphere (much thicker than Kerbin) makes aerocaptures and landings easy, but makes a start from sea level even harder because most fuel will be wasted on overcoming atmospheric friction. The result is that it requires the most delta-v of any celestial body with a solid surface to escape from it. Having a similar size to Kerbin gives it a large gravity well. However, a slight inclination relative to Kerbin makes encounters slightly harder. Eve seems to be the real life analogue of Venus.Įve is the closest planet to Kerbin and the potentially the easiest to reach, requiring the least delta-v of any planet. It has one small moon, a captured asteroid called Gilly. Eve is the second planet from Kerbol and is the second largest body orbiting it.
