| On Venus, the Rayleigh scattering of sunlight in the atmosphere, due to its high density, is significantly higher than on Earth. Why, then, is the sky on Venus yellow-green and not blue like on Earth?
It is believed that the short-wavelength part of the optical radiation of the Sun is intensely absorbed in the atmosphere of Venus by some chemical compounds.
