None. Only Earth has such characteristics.
Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have surface gravity similar to that of Earth, but have very different atmospheres and temperatures. Venus is much hotter with a crushing carbon dioxide atmosphere while the others have very cold hydrogen-helium atmospheres.
Mars has the most Earth-like temperatures, but is still not very close. The warmest places on Mars are about as cold as the coldest places on Earth. The atmosphere is very thin and made mostly of carbon dioxide. Surface gravity is less than half that on Earth.
The most Earth-like atmosphere belongs not to a planet, but to Titan, one of the moons of Saturn. Titan's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and methane (Earth's is nitrogen and oxygen). Titan is also the only other objects in the solar system with liquid on it surface, though it is liquid methane rather than water. Titan is extremely cold and has much weaker gravity than Earth does.
Earth is the only planet in the solar system to have bodies of water on its surface.

Which list of four factors best supports the concept that they are just right for the planet earth to support life?
temperature, gravity, atmosphere, and water
Why do the gases in the earth atmosphere stay close to the surface of the planet?
Mostly for the same reason you stay close to the surface of the planet - gravity!
What are the elements in the earth's atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.
What holds our atmosphere in place?
The Earth's gravity.
What planet has an oxygenated atmosphere?
Earth is the only known planet with an oxygenated atmosphere.
What planet looks more like earth in temperature gravity atmosphere and water?
Mars is the planet most like Mother Earth.
Why is space not like earth?
Earth: Space: - is a planet - No gravity - supports life - Vaccum - gravity - No gravity or atmosphere - atmosphere
Why the planet earth was able to maintain its atmosphere?
Gravity
What is the most nice planet in the universe?
Earth- since so far, it is the only planet that has a combination of gravity, temperature, water and atmosphere where people can live.
Which list of four factors best supports the concept that they are just right for the planet earth to support life?
temperature, gravity, atmosphere, and water
Which layer of the atmosphere has increasing temperature?
bec. of the gravity of the earth
What is earth's upper atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night (the diurnal temperature variation).
What keeps the atmosphere around the earth?
A magnetic field holds atmosphere to the planet. Without a magnetosphere the solar wind from the sun will blow the atmosphere away. That is why our planet still has an atmosphere, we have the magnetic poles.
What holds the Earth's atmosphere in place?
The atmosphere is held in place by the earth's gravity. Gravity is related to mass, the more mass a planet has, the more gravity. A much smaller planet like mercury or a body such as the moon will have less gravity, not enough to hold an atmosphere - the gravity is not strong enough to prevent the gas particles from escaping into space.
What planet contains a five layer atmosphere?
Earth contains a five layer atmosphere. It is due to gravity.
Explain how earth's mass is related to its ability to have an atmosphere?
The Earth has an atmosphere because it has the gravity necessary to keep the gases from floating off into space. The more mass a planet has, the more gravity it has, and the more gravity it has, the thicker an atmosphere it can sustain.
What holds the heat on the earth?
The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.
