A model of the neutral composition of the Venusian atmosphere at heights of 50-200 km is developed which determines the height dependence of the concentrations of the photolysis products of CO2, H2O, HCl, and SO2. Approximate analytical expressions are obtained for the concentrations of some of the constituents. A height dependence of SO2 content is obtained which is characterized by a drastic decrease of SO2 concentration above 55 km due to photolysis and the subsequent formation of sulfuric acid. In addition, it is found that the drying of the atmosphere in the upper cloud layer is due to the photochemical formation of sulfuric acid. Finally, the present model was used to interpret observations of the O2 emission at 1.27 microns and O emission at 6300 A.
