While photochemical reactions convert SO2 to H2SO4 and remove O2 from the Venus stratosphere, thermochemical reactions near the surface probably make the SO2, regenerate CO2 from photolytic CO, and produce free sulfur. Venera data suggest a light drizzle of liquid sulfur above 18 km, and several per cent of sulfur vapor below.
