surface as rain and this is the never-ending loop of the water cycle. In bad thunderstorms, the drops that begin falling back to the surface get blown back high in to the atmosphere into freezing temperatures (This is an updraft). The drop begins to fall again gaining more moisture and getting bigger. This happens over and over again until the drop is big enough to fall down to the surface as hail. So we know what rain is like on our planet. What is it like on other worlds? Let 's take a trip to the first stop in our adventure, the planet Venus. Venus is Earth 's twin. It closely resembles the size of our home. Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. It has an atmosphere that is composed mostly of carbon dioxide and clouds saturated with sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is a strong mineral acid. It is strong enough to eat through living tissues, stone, and even metal! Assuming you would be able to survive all other aspects of Venus ' harsh environment, if you happen to get caught in this super concentrated sulfuric acid rain, it would be a very bad day. The next stop on our journey is a moon in the Saturn system called Titan. Titan is the largest moon in the Saturn system and the second largest in the solar system, second to Jupiter 's moon Ganymede. Titan is a very complex world, in fact, scientists believe it is similar to how Earth would have looked in it 's early years. It 's atmosphere is composed of 95% nitrogen and 5% methane. Titan has methane rivers,…

The surface of Venus was mapped in 1991 by the Magellan expedition, which revealed evidence of extensive volcanic activity on the planet--yet the timing of this volcanic activity remains a mystery. About 80 percent of Venus' surface is covered in volcanic material. Most of the volcanoes are believed to be inactive, yet there is some evidence to suggest more "recently" activity ("recent" in this context meaning within the last 500 million years). There are no lava nor caldera (craters created…
