Question

The atmosphere of Venus has maximum concentration of which gas?

Options

• Oxygen

• Carbon dioxide

• Nitrogen

• Helium

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

The atmosphere of Venus is primarily composed of carbon dioxide (CO₂), making up about 96.5% of the atmosphere. This thick layer of carbon dioxide contributes to the extreme greenhouse effect on Venus, causing surface temperatures to soar to around 465°C (869°F), which is hotter than the surface of Mercury, despite Venus being farther from the Sun.
