Triton has a very tenuous atmosphere of nitrogen.
This statement is not accurate. The two major components of Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%), not hydrogen. Hydrogen is present in trace amounts in the atmosphere.
The two major components of the earth's atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. There is also trace amounts of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
Triton's atmosphere is made up of about 70% Nitrogen, (N2) 20% Methane (CH4) and roughly 10% Carbon Monoxide (CO).
of course not titan has a dense atmosphere as well
no it's nitrogen and oxygen
Triton retains an atmosphere primarily due to its significant gravitational pull and its geological activity, which can generate gases. Its relatively large size and low gravity allow it to hold onto lighter atmospheric components. In contrast, Phobos is much smaller and has a weaker gravitational field, making it unable to retain an atmosphere. Additionally, its proximity to Mars, where atmospheric interactions are more pronounced, further diminishes any potential for atmospheric retention.
Neptune's moon Triton also has a nitrogen atmosphere, making it one of the few moons in the solar system known to have a substantial atmosphere. This atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen with trace amounts of methane and carbon monoxide.
what are the two main components of the atmosphere
A mixture of gases that strongly resembles the major components of earth's atmosphere.
Miller took molecules which were believed to represent the major components of the early Earth's atmosphere and put them into a closed system .
The four major components of Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), argon (0.9%), and carbon dioxide (0.04%). These gases help regulate temperature, support life, and protect against harmful radiation.
