β¦ Synopsis
The following parameters have been computed for the Cytherean atmosphere: pressure, density, speed of sound, collisional frequency, column mass, density scale, mean-free-path, viscosity, pressure scale, mean particle velocity, number density at an altitude from 0 to 170 km.
The chemical composition, the temperature distribution function of the altitude, the surface pressure and the surface temperature measured by Pioneer Venus have been used as input data for these computations.
