What planet has an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect?
EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
Do inner planets have greenhouse effect?
Only Venus and Earth have a greenhouse effect because they have a substantial atmosphere. Venus actually has a runaway greenhouse effect causing its surface temperatures to rise to 450 Celsius.
What property controls the quantity of atmosphere in planets?
What property controls the quantity of atmosphere in planets?
Does space have an atmosphere or is it only planets that have them?
Space does not have an atmosphere. It is generally considered a vacuum. Planets and some moons have atmospheres.
How do the inner and outer planets atmosphere different?
the outer planets are gaseous and the inner planets are not

Do any outer planets have the greenhouse effect?
No because they do not have an atmosphere that will absorb the suns rays and trap it in like our atmosphere does.
What other planets have greenhouse gases?
Two other planets besides Earth.Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, with most of its atmosphere carbon dioxide, and a temperature of 460° Celsius.Mars has a very faint greenhouse effect, with a little carbon dioxide, but hardly any atmosphere at all.Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a greenhouse effect, with large concentrations of methane.
What are two main greenhouse gases that keep the planets atmosphere warm and livable?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide.
What planet has a greenhouse effect that warms the planet due to the trapping of infrared radiation by carbon dioxide in the planet's atmosphere?
Three planets, Earth, Venus and Mars, all have greenhouse effects from carbon dioxide (CO2) in their atmosphere.
Do inner planets have greenhouse effect?
Only Venus and Earth have a greenhouse effect because they have a substantial atmosphere. Venus actually has a runaway greenhouse effect causing its surface temperatures to rise to 450 Celsius.
Could the greenhouse effect occur on other planets?
The greenhouse effect is happening on any planet with greenhouse gas. Mars, as an example has greenhouse gases in it's atmosphere and has seen warming over the past hundred years similar to our warming trend. Venus, with an atmosphere of 96.5% carbon dioxide, has a runaway greenhouse effect which has caused the oceans to boil dry.
What planets other than earth have a greenhouse effect?
As well as Earth, two other planets have greenhouse effects.Venus has the hottest greenhouse effect, a runaway effect, with an average surface temperature of 735 K (462 °C; 863 °F), Venus' atmosphere is 96.5% carbon dioxide.Mars also has a greenhouse effect. It has a very thin atmosphere which can not store much heat. Its temperature ranges from -143° C (polar winters) to 35° C (equatorial summers).
How did primitive algae make it possible for other planets and animals to develop on earth?
Mainly by photosythesis that converted the CO2 in the poisonous early atmosphere, into oxygen.
What are effects that atmospheres have on planets?
greenhouse effect
Why does Venus have hot temperatures in comparison to the other planets?
Venus is warmer than it would be if it had no atmosphere because the thick poisonous atmosphere holds in heat. Without the atmosphere, the heat would only be in the day, while at night it would be freezing.
