| Feb 14, 2017 at 13:05 | comment | added | Secespitus | @a4android and Tharaib Thanks. In my opinion this question deserves some attention as it is a very good example of how questions on WorldBuilding should be written. Plus it's very interesting. I expect more of this kind from you from now on Tharaib ;) | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 12:25 | comment | added | Tharaib | @Secespitus A second but very heart-felt thank-you! (I didn't know I could '@' people who hadn't already commented. I'm pretty new to actually posting on here - I used to just read) | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 12:10 | comment | added | a4android | @Secespitus Well done for putting up the bounty on Tharaib's question about liquid sulphur oceans. | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 10:12 | comment | added | Tharaib | @a4android What do you mean about the bounty? I didn't set it; Secespitus did - and he/she has lots of reputation points. Thank-you Secespitus! | |

| Feb 8, 2017 at 5:22 | comment | added | Tharaib | @Will, I mentioned that near the end of the question - there's SO2, some fluorine/fluorine compounds (eg fluorocarbons), and also probably low levels of CO, CO2, N2... The SO2 is excreted by the animals and absorbed by the plants - levels need only to be high enough for the plants to use and low enough to not be poisoned. The animals don't breathe in gases, so there's no equivalent to CO2 poisoning if concentratrions get too high. Although the big problem is absorption by sulfur vapour (I found that SO2 absorbs in the UV wavelengths - see question edit) | |
| Feb 8, 2017 at 5:14 | comment | added | Tharaib | @Lio Elbammalf, thanks for the links! Although it's a bit of a moot point now I've found the absorption spectrum, that paper for sulfur dioxide is behind a paywall so I can't access it | |

Updated my question to reflect new information
|
| Feb 7, 2017 at 20:15 | comment | added | Willk | Is the atmosphere pure sulfur dioxide, or SO2 with other gases? | |
| Feb 6, 2017 at 11:30 | comment | added | Lio Elbammalf | I've not yet got as far as making an answer (and may not be clever enough to fully knit everything together) but I've found a few interesting resources. This paper talks about determining the refractive index of sulfur dioxide as a liquid and here we see a bit of an introduction to refractive indexes. (note: More refraction -> less penetration, also this applies to all EM waves so radio, etc would have to be adapted too). | |

| Feb 6, 2017 at 9:58 | comment | added | a4android | Welcome to Worldbuilding, Tharaib, by surfacing from your lurking. I have edited your title to be more in keeping with the topics of your question. A very interesting & challenging question about an exotic planetary environment. You seem to have a put a lot of thought & research into your question. Have fun! | |

redrafted the title to be more appropriate to the question
