Thick clouds at altitudes of 30 to 60 kilometers are made of sulfuric acid, and a CO2greenhouse effect maintains the high surface temperature. Venus presumably reached its current state from more earthlike initial conditions as a result of a runaway greenhouse effect, which included the loss of large quantities of water.
