 ==== Acid rain ==== ==== Acid rain ====
-Acid rain is mainly caused by atmospheric pollution from sulfur dioxide, which forms sulfuric acid when dissolved in water. Sulfur dioxide is emitted during the burning of fossil fuels. In recent years, the percentage of nitric acid in acid rain has been increasing as a result of reducing sulfur dioxide emissions but sulfuric acid is still the main culprit.

-The clouds on Venus are made of sulfuric acid droplets of very high density, resulting in a huge greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect has also been found on an unnamed Mars' moon and Saturn's moon Titan.
