Photochemical equilibrium calculations of electron and ion densities, appropriate for altitudes below about 180 km, were carried out for the Venus dayside ionosphere corresponding to solar cycle maximum and minimum conditions. The results were compared with data from radio occultation measurements. The agreement between the calculations and measurements was, in general, quite good. These comparisons indicate that the most commonly used neutral atmosphere model of Venus (Hedin et al., 1983) predicts densities which are somewhat low near the electron density peak for solar cycle maximum, but provides surprisingly good predictions for solar cycle minimum conditions.
