Which process explains why the terrestrial planets do not have hydrogen and helium in their atmospheres?
The terrestrial planets are less massive and therefore have less gravity. As a result, much of the lighter gases could escape, in the process of planet formation.
How do Neptune and Uranus differ inside from Jupiter?
The insides of these planets is still not known for certain, but here are some of the differences, as far as we know: 1) Jupiter has liquid hydrogen as well as gaseous hydrogen. 2) Jupiter is more likely to have a solid rocky core, but all 3 planets could have a rocky core. 3) Uranus and Neptune have more methane in their atmospheres. 4) Uranus and Neptune have things like ammonia and water in the form of "ices" deep inside them.
Does the star Capella have planets surrounding it?
It is a double or multiple star which could make planets less likely to be surrounding it.
Could the Planets Survive Without the Sun?
The planets would continue to exist. However, life as we know it would not be possible.
What planet's atmosphere has no air or water?
Mercury is the only major planet without an atmosphere. It is able to hold some gases close to its surface, but not really enough to call it an atmosphere. Its due to the size of the planet being so small and lack of a decent magnetic field that it is unable to sustain an atmosphere.

How many planets are habital?
Other than Earth, no planets have been confirmed to be habitable. We do know of planets in other star systems upon which liquid water could theoretically exist but we can't measure the composition of the planets atmospheres therefore we can't know for certain whether or not they are habitable.
Could powered flight be possible in the atmospheres of most of the planets in the solar system?
Powered flight is possible with no atmosphere at all, otherwise Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong would still be stuck on the moon.
Plants and animals cannot live on Saturn because?
After discovering non-carbon based life-forms at the deepest depths of our own planets' oceans, we are faced with the possibilty that life could exist on other planets even though they might or do possess atmospheres unsuited to the conventional carbon-based forms of life as we know them here on earth
Why study the atmosphere?
Here are some reasons to study the atmosphere:Anything you study makes you smarter!The atmosphere surrounds us, so we should understand it and know how it worksThe atmosphere allows us to survive, so it's important to understand how to protect and sustain itThe atmospheres on other planets are similar to ours, so if we understand our atmosphere, we can learn more about other planetsThere might be breathable atmospheres on other planets, so we should understand what to look for and see if we could survive there
What are the planets that could be under terrestrial planets and which planets could be called gas planets?
Some terrestrial planets are mars mercury Venus and earth gaseous planets Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune.
What is the main reason you could not land on outer planets er planets?
The outer planets are gas planets
Could plants grow on planets?
could we grow plants on other planets? Answers please.
Could do the inner planets have lots of moons?
The inner planets do not have many moons because what could become moons is usually trapped by one of the outer planets gravitational pull, lost in the asteroid belt, or crashes into the inner planets.
Are the planets Zuturn and Neuba Real?
No. because we have only 8 planets. But in a way if you were doing a project and it was about made up planets you could say they are real planets.
What are the characteristics of the inner planets?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are small, rocky planets with a higher percentage of heavy elements than the outer planets. They have less gravity due to their smaller mass, and solid surfaces that are distinct from their atmospheres. You could walk on an inner planet. These four also get most of their surface heat from the Sun. The outer planets are frigidly cold in their outer layers because they are so distant from the Sun. The dwarf planet Pluto, once considered similar to the inner planets, may consist of as much as 30% to 40% ice and frozen gas, closer in composition to comets than to planets.
Could you land on the outer planets?
No. The outer planets do not have solid surfaces. Those planets are made of gases held together by gravity.
