The spectral and polarization data for Venus are consistent with micrometer-sized aerosol cloud particles of hydrochloric acid with soluble and insoluble iron compounds, whose source could be volcanic or crustal dust. The yellow color of the clouds could be due to absorption bands in the near ultraviolet involving ferric iron and chlorine complexes. The ultraviolet features could arise from variations in the concentrations of iron and hydrochloric acid in the cloud particles.
金星的光谱和偏振数据与盐酸的微米级气溶胶云粒子一致，这些粒子含有可溶性和不溶性的铁化合物，其来源可能是火山或地壳尘埃。云层的黄色可能是由于涉及三价铁和氯配合物的近紫外吸收带所致。紫外线特征可能是由于云粒子中铁和盐酸浓度的变化引起的。
