The life on Venus could be possible
There is a possibility that there are lifeforms on the clouds on planet Venus(1). But when we are writing about that kind of thing, we must be careful, when we are thinking about the lifeforms, what are from other planets. In the case of planet Venus, those lifeforms would be quite primitive, and they might look like the Archean bacteria of Earth(2). But in appendix one is more about these topics.
When we are thinking about the form of the lifeforms of Venus, we can think that there are similar bacteria on Earth. Maybe those lifeforms on planet Venus might have "pairs" on Earth. On Earth, some bacteria and other lifeforms are living in extreme conditions like near the volcanic eruption craters, which is full of the sulfur combinations. We must remember that the hypothetical bacteria, what are living and forming on other planets like Venus fully adapted to during evolution to that planet and its environment.
So when we are talking about extraterrestrial lifeforms we must remember, that they are not like our bacteria. In this text, I will handle the extraterrestrial lifeforms by using the word bacteria, because most of those lifeforms are primitive. But here I must say, that there are bacteria, which are similar to our nervous system. And there is a possibility that this kind of bacteria would take the body of other lifeforms under control. But those things are only theories.
Venus is almost the twin planet of Earth, and now there is a possibility that there are lifeforms in the clouds of that very hostile planet. There is a layer in the atmosphere of Venus, where the bacteria and primitive alga, what might be very similar, what lives on Earth can live. Because Venus is a dry planet, where is no liquid water there is a possibility, that there could live silicon-based lifeforms.
There are areas on the planet Venus, where the temperature is about 300 k(3), but mainly the planet is too hot for that kind of lifeform. But when we are thinking about the lifeforms of Venus, there is a possibility, that those lifeforms could be diatoms, primitive cells like an alga, what is forming the silicon core to protect its nucleus against the chemical stress of the sulfur acid of the atmosphere of Venus.
