Thermal balance in a steam atmosphere would be reached when the surface temperature is around 1700 K; the surface itself does not emit radiation directly to space, but the emitting level of the atmosphere is hot enough to emit radiation in a mid-IR window where water vapor is a weaker greenhouse gas.

“Previous work suggested that early Venus was close to the threshold for a runaway greenhouse[9]—our new lower radiation limit and enhanced solar absorption imply that, given the same amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere as Earth, Venus may not have had a habitable period.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
