Venol

Venol is the second planet of the Odjoran system, its a warm Terrestrial planet with temperatures approaching 242 degrees as it orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of Odjor.

Surface
Venol is somewhat similar to Venus. Due to its close proximity to its parent star temperatures on Venol have risen to almost 300 degrees Celsius. The planet is extremely rich in sulfur and carbon to an extend it has been called a Carbon planet, wrongly however as the carbon mass of the planet does not exceed its oxygen mass. Alternatively it has been called a Sulfur planet.

At the temperatures found on Venol most sulfuric compounds are liquid, the planet has vast shallow seas of Sulfuric acid which cover roughly 40% of the planets surface. These seas also contain around 5-20% hydrochloric acid along with various dissolved minerals. This is because sulfuric acid, which is in no short supply on the planet, reacts with chloride minerals like salt, converting them into sulfates and producing hydrochloric acid in the process. Carbon compounds (still solid) cover most of the remaining land. Creating a highly toxic environment for life.

Its atmosphere is 9 times more dense than earths and contains roughly 63.5% Carbon dioxide, 36% Nitrogen, 0.4% Sulfur dioxide, 0.1% argon, and trace amounts of other compounds like carbonyl sulfide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid, water, sulfur trioxide, carbon disulfide, and hydrochloric acid. Due to the thick atmosphere, its surface is obstructed by sulfuric acid clouds and sulfur aerosols, giving it a distinct Venus-like appearance. Rains on Venol are highly saturated with Sulfuric acid causing heavy ground erosion.

Trivia
Venol is loosely based upon Venus.
