What else can I help you with?
What terrestrial planet has no atmosphere?
Mars has almost no atmosphere. APEX=MERCURY has no atmosphere.
Could mercury sustain life?
No, it doesn't even have a substantial atmosphere.
Would meteorology be useful science to apply to the study of planets such as Mars and Mercury?
Meteorology would be useful on Mars but not on Mercury. Mercury does not have a substantial atmosphere and therefore has no weather to speak of. Mars has enough of an atmosphere to produce weather such as dust storms.

Which planet has no true atmosphere?
Mercury. Its close orbit to the Sun causes extreme temperature variances and prevents it from maintaining any substantial gaseous atmosphere.
Which planet has a thin atmosphere besides Mercury?
Mars has the next thinnest atmosphere, a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Although thin, it's much more substantial than anything mercury has got in the way of surface pressure.
what planets have the least substantial atmosphere?
The planets with the least substantial atmospheres are Mercury and Mars. Mercury has a very thin atmosphere composed mostly of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, and helium, practically negligible due to its proximity to the Sun and lack of gravity to retain gases. Mars has a thin atmosphere primarily made up of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon, but it is about 100 times less dense than Earth's atmosphere, making it insufficient to support liquid water on its surface.
Is Mercury's atmosphere dangerous?
Mercury does not have an atmosphere.
Why do gases escape Mercury easily?
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.
How is Venus hotter than mercury because Mercury is closer to the sun than Venus?
Venus is hotter than Mercury due to its thick atmosphere, which traps heat from the sun, creating a strong greenhouse effect. Mercury lacks a substantial atmosphere, so it cannot retain heat as effectively as Venus, despite being closer to the sun.
Is there oxygen in Mercury?
No, there is no oxygen in Mercury's atmosphere because Mercury does not have an atmosphere.
How much more massive or larger would Mercury planet need to be in order to maintain and hold an atmosphere?
Mercury would need to be at least 1.2 times more massive to hold onto an atmosphere. The lack of a substantial atmosphere on Mercury is due to its low gravity, making it unable to retain gases for an extended period. Increasing its mass would help it to have enough gravitational pull to hold onto an atmosphere.
