Reply to comment by aphilsphan in Is there a type of precipitation that exists on other planets but not ours? Or theoretical precipitation that doesn’t happen here? by ButIHateTheTaste

If Venus were cooled to a sufficiently cold temperature (to achieve that, most of the sunlight that hits it would need to be blocked), most of its supercritical CO2 atmosphere would condense out into an ocean of liquid CO2, that would then freeze over into a crust of dry ice hundreds of meters thick.
