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).
