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 else can I help you with?
What is in an asteroids aptmosphere?
No asteroids have atmospheres.
Do asteroids have storms?
No. Asteroids do not have atmospheres and therefore cannot have storms.
Why don't asteroids have atmospheres?
Asteroids are too small to have enough gravity to prevent any atmosphere form escaping.
Does the asteroid belt have an astmosphere?
No. The asteroid belt is not an object but a region with more asteroids than the rest of the solar system. Asteroids themselves have too little gravity to have atmospheres.
Do asteroids have atmospheres?
The asteroid belt, is a "collection" of asteroids circling the Sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. A collection cannot have an atmosphere. A single asteroid does not have enough mass to "hold" on to an atmosphere.
Which bodies in the solar system have no atmospheres?
Our Moon, the planet Mercury, and most of the asteroids and dwarf planets are too small to have an atmosphere.
Are asteroids surrounded by a hydrogen cloud?
Some asteroids have been observed to have thin hydrogen atmospheres, but they are not typically surrounded by a dense hydrogen cloud like a gas giant planet. These hydrogen atmospheres are usually very tenuous and not very extensive compared to the atmosphere of a planet.
Is asteroids surrounded by hydrogen clouds?
No, asteroids are rocky, metallic bodies that generally do not have atmospheres or hydrogen clouds surrounding them. Hydrogen clouds are more commonly found in gaseous planets like Jupiter or Saturn.
Do asteroids contain gold?
Yes, they contain many minerals (nickel, silver, gold)
What are astoroids?
Asteroids are metallic, rocky bodies without atmospheres that orbit the Sun but are too small to be classified as planets. http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/text/asteroids.txt
Is there water in outer space?
Yes, there is water in outer space in the form of ice and vapor. It can be found in comets, asteroids, and even in the atmospheres of some planets and moons.
What kind of minerals are present in asteroids?
Asteroids are said to contain traces of Gold, Platinum, and Palladium, in addition to Iron and Nickel. The quantity of such elements present in the asteroids depends upon the size of the asteroid.
