Hydrogen, Helium
Their gravity is too weak to hold on to atmospheric gases.
The dominant atmospheric gases on Mercury are oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium. However, the atmosphere on Mercury is very thin, with a pressure about 10^-15 times that of Earth's atmosphere.
In a barometer, the space above the mercury column is typically a vacuum. This allows the mercury column to accurately reflect changes in atmospheric pressure without any interference from air molecules or other gases.
All of the atmospheric gases can be found trapped in magma and solidified rock.
By volume, they are:Oxygen (42%), Sodium (29%),Hydrogen (22%),Helium (6%),rest (traces).
The solar winds from the Sun, because Mercury is so close, blow the atmosphere away. Therefore, all of the gases it has are from the Sun because the solar winds are constantly replacing Mercury's atmosphere.
In a mercury barometer, the space above the mercury is a vacuum or a space filled with a small amount of inert gas like nitrogen. This space helps to create a more accurate measurement of atmospheric pressure by allowing the mercury to respond only to changes in atmospheric pressure, without interference from other gases.
Mercury has a thin atmosphere that is made up of many gases, including: hydrogen, helium, oxygen, calcium, potassium, sodium and water vapor. Mercury is the smallest planet.
The atmospheric pressure of 29.4 inches of mercury is equivalent to 74.676 millimeters of mercury. This conversion is based on the standard ratio where 1 inch of mercury is equal to 25.4 millimeters of mercury.
The atmospheric gases carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are all greenhouse gases that help to heat the Earth.
