What do all gas giants have that terrestrial plants do not have?
Gas giants have enormous atmospheres, it may be said they consist only of atmosphere. They have a large mass, and they have rings.Gas giants have enormous atmospheres, it may be said they consist only of atmosphere.

What layer contains a small fraction of the atmosphere mass?
Ozone layer contains a fraction of mass. It is made up of ozone gas.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains only a tiny fraction of the atmosphere's mass?
Ozone layer is the layer. It contains tiny fraction of atmospheric mass.
Would your mass change on the sun?
Yes. Because the size of the Sun is larger than the size of the Earth. This means that if you went to the Sun your mass would change due to the different pulls of gravity and the different atmospheres.
Do only the inner planets have atmospheres?
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.
What contains only a tiny fraction atmospheres mass?
A soap bubble, for example.
What is the thermosphere's mass of air?
The air mass of the thermosphere about 15 cm. of air per inch!
What contains most of the atmospheres mass?
troposphere
What do asteroids contain in their atmospheres?
Asteroids do not have atmospheres because their masses are too small -- their weak gravity cannot hold gaseous molecules. Some asteroids have tenuous regions around them which may contain more molecules than the space farther from them, but these can scarcely be called atmospheres. Most moons, including Earth's Moon, have virtually non-existent atmospheres. Even the planet Mercury, with a mass far greater than any asteroid, has an atmosphere only marginally denser than a vacuum near its surface. The only moon with a substantial atmosphere is the large Saturnian moon, Titan, which has a mass 1.8 times as great as the Moon.
What layer of the atmosphere contains 80 of the atmospheres total mass?
troposphere
How do you find a mass fraction?
mass fraction of Substance A = (mass of Sub. A) / (total mass)

troposphere
What layer of the atmosphere contains 80 percent of the atmospheres total mass?
troposphere
What is The total mass of air surrounding the Earth from the uppermost thermosphere down to the troposphere?
The atmosphere

Why do the atmospheres around planets not escape to space?
Because the mass of the planet holds it down.
How do you convert mass fraction to weight percent?
Multiply the mass fraction by 100.
