Negative, not only do the inner planets have atmospheres, but the outer planets also have atmospheres. The masses of the outer planets are great, enough easily to hold an atmosphere.
In fact it's Mercury, an inner planet, that has almost no atmosphere.
True, Mercury has a less mass and the closeness to the sun make it impossible to hold on a atmosphere. As matter in fact, Mars had a atmosphere, but the solar wind had almost eaten all the atmosphere that Mars had.

Do inner planets have atmospheres?
Yes, all four do, except for Mercury.
What is the main difference between the inner planets and the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller, and do not have the dense atmospheres of the outer planets. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have warmer temperatures than the exteriors of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).The "gas giants" have very hot lower atmospheres, caused by the intense pressure. The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen, but for Uranus and Neptune there are higher levels of water, methane, and ammonia. All of the gas giants have multiple moons and rings, the most visible being the ice rings around Saturn.they are divided by inner and outer and the outer planet are the planets that have bigger planets.
What inner planets have atmospheres?
3 Venus,Earth,and Mars (Mercury doesn't have much of an atmosphere there is to less gravity)
How The inner planets are alike?
All the inner planets in our solar system are all terrestrial planets. They are all small rocky planets with a relatively small atmospheres when compared to the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn or the ice giants like Neptune and Uranus. This however is not true of other stars. Many stars have large planets very small orbits.
Why are the farthest planets made of gas?
When the sun was young it released an intense solar wind. This prevented the inner planets from developing thick atmospheres like the outer planets. The outer planets, however, were spared from this fate, and were able to accrete large quantities of gasses.
Compare the atmospheres of the four inner planets?

Do inner planets have thicker atmospheres than outer planets?
no
What are the atmospheres of the four inner planets?
all have 1 moon
Do inner planets have atmospheres?
Yes, all four do, except for Mercury.
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 all inner planets have thick atmospheres?
No. Only Venus has a really thick atmosphere. Mars has only a thin atmosphere and Mercury has almost no atmosphere.
What is made of gas in the inner solar system?
Atmospheres of the planets. And the Sun, of course, is made of gas.

Which planets have atmospheres?
All the planets in our Solar System have atmospheres, except for Mercury, which only has minute traces of gases.
What are two similarities about the inner and outer planets?
The inner planets, otherwise known as the terrestrial planets all are: -rocky/more dense (unlike the gaseous outer planets) -closest to the sun -smallest planets
What describes the four inner planets?
Rockey and hotter .1. These planets have gaseous atmospheres.2. The inner planets all have one moon each.3. These terrestrial planets have surfaces that are rocky hard.4. The inner planets were formed differently than the outer planets.Those are the choices.. Thankks for your help, if you decide to help.
