Photosynthesis May Be Possible in Venus’ Clouds

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.

For the trips in question –since they are the closest– studying for planets in our solar system. In this context Elon Musk’s Mars dreams and NASA’s to send humans to the moon again Artemis We hear about your mission often. 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 discovered the atmosphere of Venus. phosphine He said that they had detected the gas and started the discussions. This gas, which is rare in our world, is a gas that can grow without the need for oxygen. anaerobic bacteria indicates its existence, and the clouds of Venus are also anaerobic.

A biochemist who builds upon the debates Rakesh Mogul working under the leadership of California Polytechnic State University work crew, able to pass through Venusian clouds sunlight examined the level. 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 is is the same as on the earth floor seen. That would be if the light levels alone were sufficient. that photosynthesis can take place in clouds could have, 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. This is due to the clouds in the middle. 75 percent, in the lower 98 percent found in it was sulfuric acid.

But when Mogul and his team reviewed this data, not sulfuric acid, such as ammonium bisulfate of sulfuric acid a neutralized form proved it could be. If this is the case, contrary to popular belief, Venus clouds have less acid and more water activities may exist.

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.
