He thinks they are hydrocarbon droplets similar to the water droplets in earthly clouds. The droplets condense in the cool top of the atmosphere, but stay in vapor form in the lower parts, where the temperature rises above 200° F. So the dark Venusian surface has clear, compressed, oily air. Infra-red rays from the sun penetrate both clouds and atmosphere, but are hindered by the CO2 when they try to escape. This trapped energy...
