What property controls the quantity of atmosphere in planets?
The property that controls the quantity of atmosphere in planets is the planet's gravity. A planet's gravitational force is responsible for holding its atmosphere in place. The stronger the gravity, the more atmosphere a planet can retain. Conversely, lower gravity can result in a thinner or less substantial atmosphere.
What property controls the amount of atmosphere a planet has and how?
the ozone layer
Is the distant from a star the only factor that determines whether a planet is habitable?
No, there would have to be an atmosphere and water as well.
What property of a planet determines its length of year?
The time it takes to go around its solar systems sun.
What property controls the type and amount of atmosphere a planet has?
gravity controls the amount of atmosphere that a planet has because the more gravity that a planet has, the more atmosphere it can hold in. God controlled the type of atmosphere a planet had at the start, but since then, the chemical reactions on its surface, volcanic activity, and similar things have changed it slightly.
How the atmosphere affect the lithosphere?
The lithosphere is the outer layer of the Earth, made up of the crust and the upper mantle. The atmosphere essentially determines the weather of the planet, which has an effect on its surface.
Does a planet need an atmosphere?
No. The planet Mercury does not have an atmosphere.
What the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere?
what is the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere
What is the atmosphere of the planet called Ceres?
Ceres is not a planet; it is a dwarf planet. It does not have an atmosphere.
What is the gas that surounds a planet known as?
That is known as the "atmosphere".
What factor determines whether a planet has a atmosphere?
The factors that determine whether a planet has an atmosphere or not are mass and temperature. Not exactly... There are two main factors that determine whether a planet can develop and keep an atmopshere and they are the escape velocity of the planet (how fast the object has to go to escape the gravitational pull) and the speed of the molecules in the atmosphere. For example the escape velocity for earth is about 11km/s (25,ooomph) Other factors include proximity to a larger body that can will steal the atmosphere away, and distance to the sun which produces solar wind that can literally blow the atmosphere away.
Which is the largest planet in our atmosphere?
The earth is the largest planet in our atmosphere. Jupiter is the largest planet in out solar system.
