Which has only thin atmosphere?

Mars only has a thin atmosphere, mainly of Carbon Dioxide. This is due to its relatively small mass, where the gravity is too low to sustain a large atmosphere. In addition, the absence of a magnetic field around the planet means that the solar wind can more easily strip any gas away from the planet.

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.


What Is the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere?

The terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere is Mercury. Its thin atmosphere consists mainly of trace amounts of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium, and is not enough to be considered a true atmosphere.
