This system contains two symmetric regions with unusually low temperatures called “cold collars.” Ferric chloride is a candidate for this system’s so-called “unknown UV absorber.” Thermal tides excited in this system contribute to its superrotation. Estimates of the particle size distribution in this system can be derived from the glory phenomenon observed in images taken by Akatsuki. The disputed detection of phosphine in this system might be evidence it harbors life. Permanent polar vortices are found in this system, which directly interacts with the solar wind due to a lack of a magnetic field. Carbon dioxide makes up nearly 97 percent of this system due to a runaway greenhouse effect. For 10 points, what system contains a layer of sulfuric acid clouds that completely encircle a terrestrial planet? ■END■
ANSWER: atmosphere of Venus [or Venusian atmosphere or Venerian atmosphere or Venereal atmosphere; accept troposphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, ionosphere, or thermosphere in place of “atmosphere”; prompt on Venus or Venerian by asking “what region of Venus?”; prompt on atmosphere or specific atmospheric layers by asking “of what astronomical body?”]
