 Venus (Stability of CO2 atmosphere) McElroy, Sze and Yung 1973 Yung and DeMore Icarus 1982 CO2 is unstable against UV A tiny amount of Cl (< 1ppm) Catalytically oxidizes CO back to CO2 via the peroxychloroformyl radical (ClCO3)

Titan = Prebiotic Earth? Titan: Moon of Saturn 1.5 bar N2, 95K Yung et al 1984 Organic synthesis CH4 + UV = CxHy
