What is The dominant gas in mercurys atmosphere?
By volume, they are oxygen and sodium.
There is no atmosphere on the moon. Explain on the basis of escape velocity?
The moon's escape velocity is lower than the average velocity of gas particles in its atmosphere, so the moon cannot retain an atmosphere as the gas particles would escape into space. This is why the moon has no significant atmosphere.
Why can't the atmosphere of gas giant planets escape into space?
Where a planet or moon has an atmosphere, it is the gravity of the moon or planet that holds the atmosphere on the planet or moon.
Which of the gas giants has a moon with an atmosphere?
Saturn. Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is the only moon in the solar system with a dense atmosphere.
Is there oxygen on the moon?
There is oxygen on the moon, but not as a gas. It is bound up chemically in minerals. Free oxygen, the gas, is not held to the moon as an atmosphere because the moon has not enough gravity to hold a noticeable atmosphere.
Is land atmosphere?
No. An atmosphere is the layer of gas surrounding a planet or moon. It is air.
What gas surrounds the moon?
Not enough to be considered an atmosphere.
Why can't astronauts light a fire on the moon?
because there is no gas in the atmosphere
Does moon have gas?
No it has no gas. It is fairly dead. Moon - negligible amount cuz of low gravity and proximity to the Sun. Hot gas molecules move faster and on the Moon gas velocities for those temperatures exceed escape velocity of Moon (i.e.. too low gravity) and hence have left it. But if the moon was farther away from the Sun and not too far that its temps fall to near zero (-273.15*C where all gases liquify) it could have a thin atmosphere made of the right kind of gas to suit the temp.
What is most dominant gas?
These gases are nitrogen, oxygen and argon.
What is the dominate atmospheric gas on mars?
The dominant atmospheric gas on Mars is carbon dioxide (CO2), making up about 95% of the planet's atmosphere.
Is there an atmasphere on the moon?
The Moon does not have a significant atmosphere like Earth does. Instead, it has an exosphere made up of very low-density gases. The lack of a substantial atmosphere is due to the Moon's weak gravitational force.
