the following answer originates from my knowledge or is an edit of an other users knowledge. i have underlined words were not hyperlinks and have been done so for the public's better understanding.
In our solar system Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets, and is the only one not to have an atmosphere. This may be due to:-
- its small size ( Dwarf planets tend to be too small or they have a weak gravitational pull which cannot capture gasses to form an atmosphere. although dwarf planet Pluto is thought to have a very thin atmosphere.
- its close proximity to the sun. there is a popular belief that solar storms or sun eruptions could have wiped off the atmosphere of Mercury or maby mercury had a very thin atmosphere which was drawntowards the sun due to its immense gravity

Is earth's atmosphere stronger than all the other planets' atmosphere?
A planet's atmosphere doesn't have strength.
Does Jupiter have a presence of an atmosphere?
YES. all planets have their own atmosphere. Jupiter's is huge and thick - it is all clouds.
Do all planets have wind?
In this solar system, yes. However, other planets in other systems may have had their atmosphere stripped away; thus they have no internal wind.
What planets atmosphere have strong winds?
Jupiter and all the gas giants.
Which planets besides earth has an atmosphere?
All except Mercury, but none of them are breathable.
What does the atmosphere of the jovian planets consist of?
they all have different gasses in there atmosphere
What is the atmosphere of all of the planets made of?
air and gasses and for some no atmosphere
All gas planets have what around them?
Atmosphere.
Is earth's atmosphere stronger than all the other planets' atmosphere?
A planet's atmosphere doesn't have strength.
Do Mars planet has an atmosphere?
Yes, all planets have atmosphere but to my knowledge mars' is not breathable.
Do all planets have clouds?
No many like Mars have no atmosphere at all.
What is the Name for planets whose atmosphere is made up of mostly gases?
atmosphere is made up of gases in all planets. But if you mean planets that are mostly atmosphere, then those are gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus)
What planet has the thinner atmosphere of the terrestrial planets?
The thinnest atmosphere belongs to planet Mercury . . . it may have no atmosphere, at all.
Does Jupiter have a presence of an atmosphere?
YES. all planets have their own atmosphere. Jupiter's is huge and thick - it is all clouds.
Why do all of the gas planets have thick atmosphere's?
because its cold
Why doesn't the atmosphere of the giant planets escape into space?
Gas particles (atoms, molecules) composing the atmosphere of a planet have a mass, therefore they are trapped by the gravitational field of the planet. This is not only true for giant planets but applies to all planets with atmosphere.
Do all planets have wind?
In this solar system, yes. However, other planets in other systems may have had their atmosphere stripped away; thus they have no internal wind.
