Scientific paper

On the basis of a two-layer model atmosphere, it is shown that the optical depth of the upper cloud layer on Venus is approximately 50 in the 0.52-0.85-micron wavelength range, while the lower layer has approximately the Rayleigh optical parameters. The Venera space probe measurements of the radiation field in the atmosphere are compared with the results of exact calculations. The tentative conclusion is reached that the lower layer is laden with minute aerosol particles whose radius is less than about 0.03 micron. The height of the top of the cloud layer is estimated to be approximately 70 km.
