...atmosphere thick with carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. These gases have created an atmospheric pressure at the surface 90 times that of Earth and led to a greenhouse effect that keeps the temperature at 470 degrees C (900 degrees F), hot enough to melt lead and ensure that liquid water cannot exist...
