Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide and it’s perpetually shrouded in thick, yellowish clouds of sulfuric acid that trap heat, causing a runaway greenhouse effect. It’s the hottest planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -Venusian clouds are thick and are composed mainly (75–96%) of sulfuric acid droplets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Venus’ atmosphere is made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, and not the oxygen/nitrogen mix we have here on Earth. The clouds we see on Venus are made up of sulfur dioxide and drops of sulfuric acid.
