Best Answer

The Venusian atmosphere supports clouds of sulfuric acid that are opaque from the exterior, making optical observation of the surface impossible.

The thick atmosphere is about 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen, with traces of the other elements such as sulfur. This atmosphere is translucent at the surface, but traps solar heat, making the surface extremely hot, about 460°C (860°F).

The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Because of the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (over half a mile) under the ocean.
