Venus has a stronger greenhouse effect than Earth because the atmosphere of Venus consists of about 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the important greenhouse gas, and the atmosphere of Earth consists of about 0.04% CO2.

∙ 12y agoMars is a little too small to have held on to its atmosphere. The atmosphere holds in the heat.
Venus, a larger planet, on the other hand, has a deep and thick, cloudy atmosphere with compounds in it that are especially good at holding in the heat. Venus's surface temperature is estimated at around 800 degrees, caused by its carbon dioxide, 96.5% of the atmosphere.

Scientists are studying the greenhouse effect of which planet?
Earth mostly, but also Venus and Mars.
Why does the greenhouse effect on Mars not diminish?
There is a greenhouse effect on Mars, but a small one. With all that Carbon Dioxide in Mars' atmosphere (96.5%), you might expect to find a runaway greenhouse effect like that on Venus, but it is not the case. The atmospheric density on Mars is so low that the carbon dioxide creates only a minor greenhouse effect. And Mars is so cold that clouds of dry ice (frozen CO2) and some water crystals drift about in the Martian atmosphere.
Which of the following planets has the strongest greenhouse effect in its atmosphere A Venus B Earth C Jupiter D Mars?
venus. it has billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide which traps heat. the pressure is also a good sign
What planet has high temperatures due to the runway greenhouse affect?
It’s actually Venus.
Does carbon dioxide on Venus cause the planet to be cooler or warmer than Earth or Mars?
The carbon dioxide on Venus, by its greater volume and density, has a much greater warming effect (Greenhouse effect) on Venus. The heat in the atmosphere, combined with Venus's closer orbit to the Sun, creates a surface temperature around 460°C (860°F).Earth has comparatively little CO2 but it has a warming effect as well. The atmosphere on Mars has a higher CO2percentage than on Earth, but it is so thin that it does yield much benefit for the planet, which is quite cold most of the time.
What planet has more greenhouse effect?
Venus. Similar to Earth in many ways, a runaway greenhouse effect is thought responsible for its 900°F (480°C) surface temperature.

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.

Does Venus have stronger gravity?
Stronger gravity than what? The gravity of Venus is stronger than that of the moon or of Mars, but weaker than that of Earth.
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 are some effects of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.

Why isn't mars the hottest planet?
Because it is the fourth planet from the Sun, in the solar system. Mercury is the first, but Venus (second from the Sun) is the hottest planet. That's because of the strong "greenhouse effect " of the atmosphere on Venus.
Which of the following planets has the strongest greenhouse effect in its atmosphere A Venus B Earth C Jupiter D Mars?
venus. it has billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide which traps heat. the pressure is also a good sign
Is mars' climate colder than the earth's?
yes. It is farther from the sun than the Earth and it's atmosphere does not contain enough CO2 , like Venus, to have a "Greenhouse Effect".
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.
