Why do all the gas giants have thick atmospheres?
gravity keeps the gas giants planets gases from escaping so they have thick atmosphere
Do the gas giants have thinner atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
No. As the name gas giant implies, these planets are made largely of gas. They have extremely thick atmospheres.
Do Mercury and Venus have thick atmospheres?
Venus has a thick atmosphere. Mercury does not have an atmosphere.
Which is true about gas giants?
They are pretty large. They are mostly gaseous, without a large metallic core Their atmospheres are very thick. They have several moons. That's not really a feature of gas giant planets, but very massive planets in general.
How thick is the earth's crust in miles?
I thinck it is 25 miles thick:)
Do Gas Giants have atmospheres that are thousands of miles or kilometers thick?
Yes.
Why do all the gas giants have thick atmospheres?

Are all of the outer planets gaseous giants with thick atmospheres?
I don't think so.
What do you call the four outer planets in our solar system?
They are called the "outer planets." But also the "gas giants" because they all have thick atmospheres and no accessible surface.
Do the gas giants have thinner atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
No. As the name gas giant implies, these planets are made largely of gas. They have extremely thick atmospheres.
Are there thick atmospheres in the Moon?
There is no atmosphere on the moon.
Do Mercury and Venus have thick atmospheres?
Venus has a thick atmosphere. Mercury does not have an atmosphere.
What does Jupiter and Saturn and neptune and uranus have in coment?
They have rings, but the main characteristic is that they are all gas giants, massive planets with extremly thick atmospheres composed mostly of hydrogen and helium.
Are outer planets gaseeous?
Primarily, yes. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all considered to be "gas giants", with thick and extensive atmospheres. They probably have solid cores, but the nature of the core is currently unknown.
Which 2 inner planets have thick atmospheres?
There are four inner planets, which starting with the closest to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Of these, Venus and Earth have thick atmospheres, whereas Mercury and Mars don't.
Do gas giants have poisonous atmospheres?
Yes, all the ones in our solar system seem to. Observations of planets in other systems seem to be, also. Theoretically, any planet with a high enough gravity to qualify as a gas giant can retain gases that are poisonous to us, such as hydrogen and helium. Nice article in the link below.
