Scientific paper
The probable microphysics of a cloud is deduced by a described method which requires information on cloud particle mean size, composition, number density, and atmospheric structure, but does not require any additional information. The analysis is applied to the sulfuric acid clouds of Venus, the water ice and dust clouds of Mars, and the ammonia-water and ammonia ice clouds of Jupiter. The Venus cloud layer is found to have some resemblance to smog and haze layers on earth. The water ice clouds on Mars resemble tenuous non-precipitating cirrus clouds on earth. Precipitation, vertical distribution of gases, and vertical transport of heat in the clouds on Jupiter are considered.
