Which 2 inner planets have thick atmospheres?
There are four inner planets, which starting with the closest to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Of these, Venus and Earth have thick atmospheres, whereas Mercury and Mars don't.
What planet has only thin atmosphere?
Both Mercury and Mars have atmospheres that are much thinner than that of Earth.
What planet has only a thin atmosphere?
Both Mercury and Mars have atmospheres that are much thinner than that of Earth.
What inner planets have atmospheres?
3 Venus,Earth,and Mars (Mercury doesn't have much of an atmosphere there is to less gravity)
Could you list the planets in order from the thickest to thinest atmospheres?
The terrestrial planets in order from the thickest to thinnest atmospheres Venus, Earth, Mars, and Mercury. Since the gas giants are almost entirely made of gas, it is difficult to determine where the atmospheres end.
Do only the inner planets have atmospheres?
Negative, not only do the inner planets have atmospheres, but the outer planets also have atmospheres. The masses of the outer planets are great, enough easily to hold an atmosphere. In fact it's Mercury, an inner planet, that has almost no atmosphere. True, Mercury has a less mass and the closeness to the sun make it impossible to hold on a atmosphere. As matter in fact, Mars had a atmosphere, but the solar wind had almost eaten all the atmosphere that Mars had.
What are mercury Venus earth and mars atmospheres made of?
Mercury has a surface pressure that is near enough zero (or a vacuum), the planet holds no real atmosphere due to its small size. There are some trace gases at the surface, but not what one would call a proper atmosphere.
Do all inner planets have thick atmospheres?
No. Only Venus has a really thick atmosphere. Mars has only a thin atmosphere and Mercury has almost no atmosphere.
Which have well developed atmospheres?
Only Earth and Venus has a well developed atmosphere out of the rocky planets. Note that the rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
How are the atmospheres of earth and mars alike?
There is no relation.
Do earth and Mars have different atmospheres?
Yes
What planets have atmospheres?
Inner Planets = Earth Venus Mars Outer Gas Giants = Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus So therefore, Mercury isn't included.
