Do any outer planets have the greenhouse effect?
No because they do not have an atmosphere that will absorb the suns rays and trap it in like our atmosphere does.
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.
An outer layer of gas on a terrestrial?
This is the planets atmosphere, it can then be broken down into further sections.
Why are inner planets different than outer planets?

Are outer planets or inner planets larger?

Why would we suffocate on the outer planets?
The outer planets does not have enough oxygen to sustain life, or they don't have an atmosphere at all.
Describe the atmosphere of the outer planets?
blue waffle
Did outer planets lose the light gases in their atmosphere?
no.
What can outer space rocks tell you?
What planets are out there and if there atmosphere livable.
Why is the atmosphere thick in the outer planets?
The outer planets have thick atmospheres because they are so big. The bigger the planet, the stronger the gravitational pull. This means that the bigger planets pull in more gasses, which creates a bigger, thicker atmosphere.
What is the characteristics of the outer planets?
All outer planets have a gaseous atmosphere and are larger than planets the inner planets it also takes them longer to rotate the sun they are typically colder and have more moons.
Which planets are mostly made from atmosphere?
The four outer gas giants.
Why do inner planets have thinner atmospheres than the outer planets?
An atmosphere is a layer of gas that surrounds a planet; this gas is attracted by gravity and is greater in volume depending on the strength of the gravitational field and the temperature of the atmosphere. The inner planets generally have less mass, resulting in a less strong gravitational field, and a warmer atmosphere meaning the atmosphere is thinner than the colder, larger outer planets.
Which Planet Hass A Crushing atmosphere?
Venus and the four outer planets all have a very thick and massive atmosphere.
