Artists concept of lightning in Venus clouds
Lightning has been observed in Venus clouds, however it is not known if lightning strikes the surface as well. If it did, it would be one more infernal element in a nightmare world. Any rain associated with such a storm would likely be in the form of sulfuric acid, and that would evaporate long before it reached the ground, as the surface of Venus is far hotter and dryer than any earthly desert

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Walter Myers showcases an artist's concept of lightning in the clouds of Venus, offering a glimpse into the mysterious and tumultuous atmosphere of our neighboring planet. While lightning has been observed in Venusian clouds, it remains uncertain whether these electric discharges strike the surface below. If they did, it would introduce yet another infernal element to this nightmarish world. The image evokes a sense of awe and dread as we imagine the potential consequences of such storms on Venus. Any rain associated with these tempests would likely take the form of sulfuric acid, evaporating long before reaching the scorching ground that surpasses even Earth's hottest deserts in terms of heat and aridity. In this otherworldly vista, we are transported to an alien landscape where towering cumulonimbus clouds crackle with electricity. The rugged terrain beneath reveals steep slopes and rocky escarpments, adding to the surreal beauty and harshness of this extraterrestrial environment. As we contemplate this artwork, we are reminded not only of the power inherent in nature but also how different worlds can be from our own familiar home. It sparks our imagination about what lies beyond Earth's boundaries and invites us to ponder questions about astrobiology, exobiology, cosmology, and more.
