Do other planets besides earth have clouds?

Answer 1

Kind off. we haven't really seen the sky form the bottom on that many planets, but Venus has dense , violent clouds; Jupiter has pretty stripes of clouds of various chemicals; and Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have all been known to host tornadoes. As well as this mars has a polar ice cap, Jupiter's moon Io has lots of volcanoes, and Pluto has an ammonium atmosphere during its summer, which causes a sort of ammonium rain.

Answer 2

The gravities and magnetic fields of Saturn & Jupiter (and even Earth & Venus) directly affect the Sun's solar cycles, which in turn affects the Earth's temperatures directly affecting the Earth's weather.

Therefore, the correct answer is YES. Other planets DO affect Earth's weather.

Answer 3

No. One example is the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, which is a giant storm that has lasted hundreds of years.

Almost every planet in the solar system has some kind of weather. Jupiter's fierce winds blow at hundreds of miles per hour. But Earth is the only planet where the weather is based on liquid water. On the coldest moons of the outer planets, compounds that are gases on Earth form liquid lakes. On Jupiter's moon Io, volcanoes spew yellow liquid sulfur into a thin methane atmosphere.

Answer 4

The air in our atmosphere is able to hold a certain amount of water vapor. This amount depends on the temperature though: The higher the temperature of the air, the more vapor it can hold. If the relative humidity is 100% (the air is totally saturated with water vapor), and the air above us cools, it can no longer hold as much water vapor, so the vapor is actually forced back into a liquid (or solid) phase and falls back towards the earth!

This doesn't just apply to liquid water and water vapor, though; on a planet such a Venus, for example, the same processes take place, but with Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) instead of water (H2O). Venus is so hot that when it rains, the Sulfuric Acid actually tends to re-evaporate before it even reaches the surface!

So, ultimately, yes, it CAN rain or snow on other planets (but not necessarily), and it doesn't have to be made of water.

Answer 5

Not many, do but if i was to name one it would be mars. why it has like earth,a hot dynamo at its core, intense magnetism in its crust and massive continental plates adrift on its surface.There's even a possibility that deep rifts cleaving the beds of early Martian oceans between the continents harbored primitive life, said some of the astonished scientists as they speculated about the implications of their findings.Yes i know this is not what you were looking for exactly,but no other planet really has a similar weather pattern, or conditions. so i gave you some reasons why mars and earth are a like. i hope i gave you some help on your decision with you question.;)

Answer 6

Other planets do have clouds just like Earth. Clouds on other planets do not have water droplets, instead they are composed of sulfuric acid.

Answer 7

Yes. Other planets do have weather. On Mars there are dust storms. Jupiter has hurricanes.

Answer 8

Yes they do have outer layers just like Earth!
