Venus, often called Earth’s twin due to its similar size and composition, has a radically different and hostile atmosphere. Its clouds are composed primarily of thick layers of sulfuric acid, formed when sulfur dioxide from volcanic activity reacts with water vapor high in the atmosphere. These clouds produce droplets of sulfuric acid, creating a kind of "acid rain" in the upper atmosphere. However, unlike rain on Earth, these droplets never reach the planet’s surface. As the sulfuric acid droplets fall through the dense and scorching atmosphere of Venus, temperatures rise dramatically — over 460°C (860°F) near the surface. This extreme heat causes the acid rain to evaporate long before it can hit the ground. The result is a toxic cycle where sulfuric acid rains down, evaporates mid-fall, and then rises again to recondense in the atmosphere. This process makes Venus one of the most chemically dynamic and inhospitable planets in our solar system. #spacefacts #venus #solarsystem
