If 95% of the atmosphere was SO2, how would the sky look?

SamBiswas95
Taking into account the Rayleigh scattering phenomenon, assuming that the atmosphere is 1 bar, how would the light from the G2V-type star interact with this kind of environment? Could the colour of the sky even alter despite the fact that there is a significant amount of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere? And if so, how would this effect the appearance of auroras and cloud formation?

Hi Sam, and welcome.

The New Member forum is really for saying hi and introducing yourself, not for science questions.

Start a new thread in an appropriate science forum (or perhaps science fiction forum, if you're world-building) to get the answers you seek.

Hi, I am a neurosurgeon from Turkey with an interest in physics. I don't have formal training in theoretical physics or advanced mathematics, but i enjoy trying to build intuition about spacetime. I joined Physics Forums to ask conceptual questions, learn where my intuitions break down, and get feedback from people who understand the formal theory much better than I do. Looking forward to learning from the discussions here.
