How is earth different to Venus's?

There are several differences between Earth and Venus. For one, Earth has water in all three states - gas, liquid, and solid - whereas Venus doesn't. Venus's thick, extensive cloud cover drops sulfur - filled acid rain on the landscape constantly. Lastly, Venus's atmosphere is about 98 times as dense as Earth's and contains much more carbon dioxide.


Is the atmosphere on Venus mostly Methane?

No. The atmosphere of Venus is mostly carbon dioxide with some nitrogen and trace amounts of other gasses.


What planet is a carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide gas cloud?

Presuming you mean which planet has carbon dioxide as the primary component of its atmosphere, and features clouds of sulfur dioxide (or sulfuric acid), which would be Venus, second planet from the Sun (the next innermost planet from the sun compared with earth).


What inner planet has the thickest atmosphere?

Venus has a very thick and acid filled atmosphere. The atmosphere of Venus is very dangerous to space probes. Over the years we have sent many probes to Venus but the corrosive acid and heavy atmosphere destroys them practically before they get to the surface!


What is Venus' major gasses?

Which planet has a thick CO2 atmosphere?

Venus has a thick atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide (CO2), along with trace amounts of other gases like nitrogen and sulfur dioxide. This dense atmosphere creates a strong greenhouse effect that traps heat and leads to extremely high surface temperatures on Venus.
