The atmosphere of the planet Venus is made mainly of carbon dioxide. This gas acts like the glass of a greenhouse, keeping the surface temperatures high enough to melt lead.

What planet has a very thick atmosphere that traps heat close to its surface?
planet venus
Which planet has an opaque atmosphere?
Venus. It has very dense clouds covering its surface.
What planet is very hot has a rocky surface and has a thick poisonous atmosphere?
venus
Which planet has a dense atmosphere of carbon dioxide and very little surface activity?
Venus.
A planet with a thin atmosphere is?
Hard to say, as the distance from the star will also factor in, but in general, thin atmosphere would mean no insulation, it would be cold. Mars is a classic example of a planet having a thin atmosphere. It is extremely cold on Mars and has a small amount of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere but is not in high enough concentration to warm the planet. Mercury has no atmosphere and it is hot and cold depending on which part of the planet is facing the Sun. Venus has a very dense amosphere and it is very hot, no matter which surface is facing the Sun.
True or false craters on mercury surface are eroded only very slow this planet has a sulfuric acid atmosphere?
False. Craters are not eroded on Mercury, which has no atmosphere.
What planet has a very thin atmosphere similar to the moon?
The planet Mars has a very thin atmosphere, similar to the moon.
Is it hot on Saturn the planet?
The outside layers of the atmosphere are very cold, as they get little heat from the Sun. The surface is unreachable beneath the hot, extremely dense lower atmosphere.
What planet has a poisonous atmosphere than is so thick and acidic than even probes have trouble landing on its surface?
Venus. It has a very think atmosphere that means its surface pressure is around 93 times that of Earths. Probes have landed on its surface, but due to the extreme pressure, temperatures and hostile atmosphere, they don't last for very long.
Does planet Saturn have any valleys on it?
Probably not. Saturn is a gas giant planet, which means a very thick atmosphere above a surface which is entirely liquid. There may or may not be a solid core, but if there is it is deep below the surface.
How does the atmosphere affect your planet?
if we didn't have an atmosphere during the day our planet would be very hot and during the night our planet would be very cold
Why is Venus the hottest planet when Mercury is the nearest planet to the Sun?
Mercury is much closer to the sun, but it is also a very small planet, it's too small to sustain an atmosphere. The surface is a near vacuum, similar to being on the moon, so the heat from the sun cannot easily be retained. In contrast, Venus has a very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, a greenhouse gas. This thick atmosphere is able to hold in the heat that is received from the sun, so the overall temperature at the surface remains very high, higher than mercurys surface temperature.
