VERIFIED FACT
Venus has sulfuric acid rain that evaporates before reaching the ground.
Why this sounds fake
Rain means water in our heads, and even acid rain still sounds like something that reaches the ground.
Rain means water in most people's heads, and even “acid rain” still sounds like rain that lands somewhere. Venus is stranger. NASA says Venus has clouds made of sulfuric acid, and a NASA Glenn description notes that the acid rain evaporates back into the cloud environment because the planet is so hot. So Venus has the ingredients for a nightmare weather report, but the surface is hot enough that the rain does not make it down. It is a planet where even the bad weather cannot survive the ground.
