Oh yes, the chemical composition of the atmosphere has an effect on the temperature. This is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, in particular, has the capacity to retain heat. So as the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the world gets warmer. The world is wrapped in an invisible blanket.
What else can I help you with?
Why doesn't the atmosphere of the giant planets escape into space?
Gas particles (atoms, molecules) composing the atmosphere of a planet have a mass, therefore they are trapped by the gravitational field of the planet. This is not only true for giant planets but applies to all planets with atmosphere.
Is it true that a planets's atmosphere distributes energy and slows down heat loss?
Yes.
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.

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.
Is it true that The temperature of a gas is indirectly related to its average molecular velocity and its temperature?
The temperature ... is related ... to the temperature? Please check the question and ask again.
Is no atmosphere temperature of a planet is never higher than the planets actual temperature?
Without an atmosphere, a planet's temperature can vary widely depending on its distance from the sun and its surface properties. The lack of an atmosphere means that heat is not retained, so temperatures can be extreme, with highs during the day and lows at night. Overall, the temperature tends to be closer to the planet's actual temperature without the moderating effects of an atmosphere.
How is the planet's distance related to its temperature?
The farther a planet is from the sun, the cooler it is, except that this is not true about Mercury and Venus. Also, the farther a planet is from other planets, the cooler it is, except that this is not true about Mercury and Venus. The distance that a planet is from comets, asteroids, other stars besides the Sun, meteoroids, or major league baseball teams has no effect on their temperature.
is it true that Jovian planets do not have a clear distinction between planet and atmosphere?
True, because the gas giants consist of gas, something falling into its atmosphere rather than eventually hitting a surface would continue to endure higher pressure and temperature until it burned up or was crushed. Since there is no surface, a gas giant's diameter is given as the linear distance through the planet's center between points where the atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere at sea level on Earth.
The amount of water vapour in atmosphere is called humidity true or false questions and answer?
True. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere. It is an important factor in weather conditions and can affect temperature, precipitation, and overall climate.
A meteor is an asteroid that has been captured by a planets or a moons gravity and had been pulled away from the suns gravity true or false?
false, meters are asteroids in the earth atmosphere
How many mile from mercury to the sun in miles?
Planet Mercury averages about 36 million miles from our sun, making it the closest of the planets. Mercury is too hot to support life as we know it. Mercury has no atmosphere and no moons. It is the smallest of the true planets.
