With the developing technology, we had the chance to examine different planets in space and learn about them. But unfortunately, it is not possible for us to travel to these planets under today’s conditions. Since there is no other planet as suitable for life as our world on our agenda yet, let it be a matter of discussion whether this is a loss or not.

The planets in our solar system are being studied for the trips in question, as they are the closest. In this context, we often hear about Elon Musk’s dreams of Mars and the Artemis mission, where NASA will send humans back to the Moon. Venus also appears in these matters from time to time. Although it seems unlikely that humans will travel to and from the planet in question, we are here with a study showing that other living things can live there.

Photosynthesis can take place in Venusian clouds:

Last year, scientists said they detected phosphine gas in the atmosphere of Venus and started discussions. This gas, which is also rare in our world, indicates the existence of anaerobic bacteria that can grow without the need for oxygen, and Venus’s clouds are anaerobic, too.

Building on the controversy and led by biochemist Rakesh Mogul, the California Polytechnic State University team studied the level of sunlight that can pass through Venusian clouds. By collecting data from their own studies and past studies, the researchers were able to find the level of light that could pass through the clouds.

As a result, the brightness ratio in Venus’ lower and middle clouds was found to be the same as on the earth’s floor. This would indicate that photosynthesis could take place in clouds if light levels alone were sufficient, but unfortunately not.

Acid or water in Venusian clouds?

This is where water levels come into play. It has been said before that Venus clouds are not capable of supporting life. The reason for this was sulfuric acid, which was 75 percent in the clouds in the middle and 98 percent in the lower part.

But when Mogul and his team reviewed these data, they found that it might not be sulfuric acid, but a neutralized form of sulfuric acid, such as ammonium bisulfate. If this is the case, Venus clouds may have less acid and more water activity than previously thought.

Of course, larger studies and new studies will be required for these to be finalized. But even the existence of such a possibility on a planet called hell is quite interesting.
