Asked by KhaZix1983

Answer (1)

Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide, but the substance that causes “acid rain” on Venus is the small amount of sulfuric acid found in its thick clouds.Sulfuric acid causes acid rain because it forms when sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and water vapor (H₂O) in the atmosphere combine through a chemical reaction. This gas mixes with water droplets in the clouds and turns into sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). When it rains, these acidic droplets fall to the ground as acid rain.In conclusion,Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide, but the clouds contain sulfuric acid, which can cause "acid rain."
