Scientific paper

Sulfur reactions on Venus are discussed. It is suggested that photochemical reactions convert SO2 to H2SO4 and remove O2 from the Venus stratosphere, while thermochemical reactions near the surface probably make the SO2, regenerate CO2 from photolytic CO, and produce free sulfur. Optical evidence for liquid sulfur on Venus is examined; the Venera data suggest a light drizzle of liquid sulfur above 18 km and the existence of several per cent of sulfur vapor below that height.
