No. Tornadoes require convective thunderstorms, which cannot occur on Mars due to the lack of moisture. Mars does get dust devils however. These somewhat resemble tornadoes but are a different phenomenon.

∙ 11y agoThere could be, but not the other planets in this solar system. No tornadoes have been observed on other planets, but we can only study the weather on the planets in this solar system and so far there is no evidence of them producing actual tornadoes. Some have referred to Jupiter's Great Red Spot as a tornado, but in terms of how it works it is more like a hurricane. Dust devils, whirlwinds which superficially resemble tornadoes, have been seen on Mars, but again, these are not actual tornadoes.

∙ 10y agoLittle is known about Pluto's atmosphere, but it is highly unlikely that anything resembling a tornado could occur there. The low amounts of solar energy could not produce the needed instability, and portions of the atmosphere are frozen solid.

∙ 9y agoNot much is known about the microscale weather patterns of Venus, but tornadoes probably do not occur. Tornadoes on Earth are driven by convective thunderstorms, which depend on a number of factors such as condensation of moisture and solar heating of the ground.
Because of the thick cloud cover, relatively little sunlight reaches the surface of Venus and there is very little moisture. Even if more were present, the extreme heat would prevent it from condensing. Because of this, Earth-style thunderstorms and thus tornadoes likely cannot occur on Venus.

∙ 15y agoNo, because there aren't any or enough clouds and enough solar wind to create one. Tornadoes only exist on earth.

Is there an ecoregion in Texas that could be affected by tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes have ocurred in all parts of Texas.
Can you see tornadoes from space?
No, the thunderstorms that produce them are but the tornado itself descends from the bottom of the storm.
What could happen if thunder storms are severe?
TORNADOES
How many tornadoes have happened in the whole world?
No one could answer that because tornadoes have been destroying the world over before the dinosaurs.
Can tornadoes be seen from a satellite?
yes, Generally not. If vied from space a tornado is blocked from view by its parent thunderstorm.
Are there tornadoes and hurricanes in space?
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena, and there is no atmosphere in space.
How can a tornado form in space?
Tornadoes cannot form in space. A tornado is a vortex of air. There is no air in space.
Are tornadoes visible from space?
No. Tornadoes descend from severe thunderstorms. The view from above is blocked by the parent storm.
Every time space shuttle goes up you have tornado?
No. The space shuttle has nothing to do with tornadoes.
Are tornadoes caused by dust storm from south America?
No. Tornadoes are, in simple terms, caused by strong thunderstorms encountering wind shear. While there could be some teleconnections that influence tornadoes, we could still have tornadoes with or without them.
What do tornadoes look like from space?
Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.
What are some harmless effects of tornadoes?
One of the roles that tornadoes play, just like any other storm, is to help release excess energy into space. It is also probable that tornadoes can carry the seeds of plants to new areas, though would be a rather unusual form of seed dispersal that no plant could fully rely upon.
Is there an ecoregion in Texas that could be affected by tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes have ocurred in all parts of Texas.
Can tornadoes create wirlpools?
yes they could
What type of storm could cause tornadoes?
Most tornadoes are associated with a type of storm called a supercell.
Who is the Greek god of tornadoes?
The greek god of weather, who could cause tornadoes, would be Zeus.
Can you see tornadoes from space?
No, the thunderstorms that produce them are but the tornado itself descends from the bottom of the storm.
