Sulfuric Acid is an oxoacid of sulfur and is made of Hydrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen.
It is produced by burning sulfur in air to produce Sulfur Dioxide, and then oxidizing the Sulfur Dioxide to Sulfur Trioxide. Sulfuric Acid can then be made from Sulfur Trioxide.

How is sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere?
Some types of coal contain sulfur. When the coal is burned, the sulfur also burns. When sulfur burns, it produces sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide in the air can then dissolve into rain droplets. When sulfur dioxide dissolves in water, it reacts with the water and forms sulfuric acid. This becomes acid rain.
