The radiative equilibrium and the radiative-convective equilibrium of the Venusian atmosphere corresponding to the averaged insolation are numerically calculated for the layer up to 76 km. Gray absorption due to the cloud and the nongray absorption in the infrared region due to carbon dioxide and water vapor are taken into consideration. The amount of the solar radiation reaching the ground is assumed to be 1.5% of the solar constant at Venus, and the rest of the absorbed energy is assumed to be distributed uniformly in the cloud layer. The calculation suggests that the high surface temperature can be explained in terms of a greenhouse effect provided that the concentration of water vapor assumed in the present study is not far from the correct value. The effect of the cloud on the thermal structure of the atmosphere is examined. It is thought that the greenhouse effect could occur even in the absence of the cloud.
