Abstract:

Although Venus has long been thought of as Earth’s sister planet, it receives twice as much sunlight, and, in consequence, is very hot. Bombarding the planet with ice-moons or asteroids [1,2] could modify its orbit, but scarcely by any significant amount. It may also result in serious loss of atmosphere to space.
