Best Answer

Of the four inner planets, Venus - pressure at the surface is about 95 times the pressure on Earth. The gas giants, however, don't have a surface like Earth; the atmosphere just keeps getting denser and denser as you go down. Probably the answer is "Jupiter", it being the largest of the gas giants.

Mercury. But Mercury has hardly any atmosphere at all.

The other answerwould beMars, which does have a (thin) atmosphere.
