Solar Shades
Venus receives about twice the sunlight that Earth does, which is thought to have contributed to its runaway greenhouse effect. Terraforming Venus would probably involve reducing the insolation at Venus's surface to prevent the planet from heating up again.

Famous quotes containing the words solar and/or shades:
“Lincoln becomes the American solar myth, the chief butt of American credulity and sentimentality.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Fair is my Love, and cruel as she’s fair
Her brow shades frowns, although her eyes are sunny;
Her smiles are lightning, though her pride despair;
And her disdains are gall, her favours honey.
A modest maid, decked with a blush of honour,
Whose feet do tread green paths of youth and love,”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
