Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is about the primary composition of Venus' atmosphere, which is a factual knowledge question in planetary chemistry.
Recall that Venus' atmosphere is known for its thick clouds and greenhouse gas effects, which are mainly due to a specific gas.
Identify the main gases listed: Nitrogen (N_2), Carbon dioxide (CO_2), Oxygen (O_2), and Methane (CH_4).
Use knowledge of planetary atmospheres to recognize that Venus' atmosphere is dominated by Carbon dioxide (CO_2), which makes up about 96% of its atmosphere.
Conclude that the primary gas in Venus' atmosphere is Carbon dioxide (CO_2).
