Question

Scientists have discovered the formation of phosphine in which planet?

  • Venus
  • Mars
  • Mercury
  • Saturn
Answer- A

The scarcity of loose hydrogen on Earth leads to the formation of phosphine, suggesting that its existence in other planets could be a potential indicator of life.

A team of scientists at Cardiff University in Wales, announced a new development in the search for life on Venus.

They have now detected phosphine in the planet’s atmosphere at a deeper level than their previous findings, which were reported in September 2020 and indicated the potential presence of life.

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
