Scientific paper

The Pioneer Venus atmospheric probe provided new data on the clouds of Venus. A model consistent with this data involves SO2 being oxidized to H2SO4 by NOx in the presence of H2O. NOx also forms nitrosylsulfuric acid (NOHSO4) dissolved in the H2SO4 droplets. This acid solution, along with SO2 and perhaps NO2, can explain the UV and visible reflection spectrum of Venus.
