The atmosphere of Venus has a thick stratified cloud deck covering the planet's surface. It is mainly composed by spherical droplets of sulphuric acid together with an ultraviolet absorber of unknown nature. The Venus Express mission of the European Space Agency is orbiting around the planet since April 2006, being one of its main tasks the analysis of the atmosphere and clouds. In this work we present a theoretical study of the spectral reflectivity of the atmosphere in the visible range for several geometric configurations, using a radiative transfer code which includes absorption and scattering by gas and particles in the atmosphere. Such a model will be used in the analysis of the image qubes taken with the instrument VIRTIS onboard Venus Express
