The '''Venus-Like Atmosphere''' is a **superheated, high-pressure gaseous system** dominated by [[Carbon Dioxide|CO₂]] and [[Sulfur Dioxide|SO₂]], forming the archetype of *runaway greenhouse worlds*.

Such environments are chemical furnaces: opaque to visible light, reflective to infrared, and saturated with corrosive aerosols.

To stand on such a planet’s surface is to exist inside the breath of a dying star.

No known native life exists at the surface, but **aerial biochemistry** is possible in the upper atmosphere where temperatures moderate near 250 K.

Continuum research stations deploy [[Aetheric Aerostat]] colonies for study — floating laboratories stabilized by [[Aether Vapor (Φ₇)]] buffers to resist acid corrosion.
