Answer:

Venus

Step-by-step explanation:

Venus is the second plate in the solar system. It is a terrestrial planet and it is part of the inner rocky planets.

In Venus, it rains sulfuric acid but the rain never reaches the surface before it becomes evaporated. The acid forms from the combination of sulfur oxide and water in the atmosphere at a height of about 42km. As it condenses and falls, it becomes evaporated back at lower elevations. The surface is therefore protected from the sulfuric acid rain.

The sulfur oxide and water vapor must have been derived from volcanic activities in geologic times past.
