The greenhouse effect is very pronounced on Venus but doesn't exist on Mercury why?

Venus has a very thick atmosphere so it keeps a more consistent hot temperature and continually takes in heat. Then it releases much less at night than it absorbs during the day. Mercury has almost no atmosphere, so it gets hot during the day but immediately gets very cold at night.

Does eye color effect red eye in pictures?
Red eye is more pronounced in people with light eye color. It is also more pronounced in people with blond or light-red hair and in children

Water
What are the pros and cons of photosynthesis?
The Greenhouse Effect in and of it self was not meant to be a bad thing. When the greenhouse gases trap sunlight it makes the earth warmer, great so not everyone freezes to death. The bad side is that due to our excess emissions of greenhouse gases, through cars, factories, etc., the greenhouse effect has been trapping too much heat. Though a pro is new jobs can be created to reduce emissions and the growing seasons would be longer (so good for agriculture), the big problem is global warming, acid rain, an overall imbalance in the environmental systems. The climate change that is inevitably caused by the greenhouse gases is a major con and the whole process can alter everything from the oceans patterns to animal and plant life and in the end humans.
What planet has the weakest greenhouse effect?
Mercury
What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
Does the greenhouse effect make mercury very hot?
There are no greenhouse gases on Mercury. Just a very thin atmosphere of helium and hydrogen. So it has no greenhouse effect. Its surface ranges in temperature from -270°F to 800°F (-168°C to 427°C).
Is the greenhouse effect more pronounced for florists or earths surface?
The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.
Does the planet Mercury have the highest surface temp?
No. Venus does (greenhouse effect).

What planet has an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect?
EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
What are some of Mercury's unique characteristics?
One of them is that is has a Greenhouse effect on it.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
Is Venus' or Mercury hotter?
mercury is hotter Venus has long been considered the hottest planet due to the cloud cover and its creating an enormous greenhouse effect. I do not believe Mercury is hotter.
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
