Mercury is the only major planet without an atmosphere. It is able to hold some gases close to its surface, but not really enough to call it an atmosphere. Its due to the size of the planet being so small and lack of a decent magnetic field that it is unable to sustain an atmosphere.

What is the atmosphere of all of the planets made of?
air and gasses and for some no atmosphere
Which planets have no atmosphere?
Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets, and is the only one not to have an atmosphere. This is due to its small size and close proximity to the sun.
Is The Moon atmosphere of air and water like Earth's?
The moon has no atmosphere or water.
Are there air and water on both the moon and earth?
There is water on the moon but no atmosphere. The earth has water and air.
Would a hot air balloon work on the moon?
No, the Moon has no atmosphere. The hot air does not have the colder air to be lighter than! Such a balloon would work on Mars or some moons of the larger planets which have some kind of an atmosphere.

Some astronomers have found evidence for the formation of planets around other stars make a list of three characteristics these planets might need to support life?
an atmosphere, air or what the creature breathes and water
What are all the 'spheres in space?
Planets can be analysed in terms of concentric spheres which include, the lithosphere (rock), the hydrosphere (water) the atmosphere (air) and so forth. The atmosphere itself is divided into several spheres, the troposphere (at the bottom) the stratosphere (at higher elevation) and the exosphere (the very thin air where the atmosphere meets outer space). Space is not divided into spheres, although planets and stars are spherical in shape.

Is The Moon atmosphere of air and water like Earth's?
The moon has no atmosphere or water.
What does dense atmosphere mean?
Thick air. Planets like Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus have a very dense atmosphere.
Does mars have more air than any other planet except earth?
No. If by air you mean atmosphere, the atmosphere of Mars is actually the second smallest of all the planets. Only Mercury has less atmosphere than Mars. If by air you mean an atmosphere that we can breath, no such atmosphere has been found on another planet.
What planets have water on them?
Jupiter is the one with the vapor atmosphere
Are there air and water on both the moon and earth?
There is water on the moon but no atmosphere. The earth has water and air.
Why is there is life on earth and not on other planet?
Beacuse earth has water air and Sun the moon has no air or no Sun or water only earth is a life planets the other planets are the same like moon they had no air or Sun and water
Is the water in the air apart of the hydrosphere?
No, water in the air i.e. water vapor which is a part of the atmosphere not the hydrosphere.
Would a hot air balloon work on the moon?
