How does the planets' distances from the sun affect their atmosphere?

It's harder for planets closer to Sun to keep their atmosphere as gas particles are carried away due to solar wind. Far away from Sun, the solar wind effect is minuscule.

How does the atmosphere affect the sun?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
How does the sun affect the atmosphere?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
How far apart are the planets?
It varies. The planets move in their orbits at different distances from the sun and at vaying speeds. The distances between them is constantly changing.
How does a planets distance from the sun affect the planets orbit speed?
the closer you are to the sun it affects the planets speed cause of the suns gravitational pull
What two factors affect a planets revolution?
Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.
In what atmosphereic layer are the planets?
Planets are not a part of the earth's atmosphere. They orbit the sun as the earth does, at great distances from the earth. Several of them have atmospheres of their own.
Do planets take turns orbiting?
No. The planets all orbit the sun at the same time. The planets occupy different orbits at different distances from the sun so they do not affect one another significantly.
How does the atmosphere affect the sun?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
How does the sun affect the atmosphere?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
Why do the outer planets still have an atmosphere?
Because gases exist even at great distances from the sun. Also the large gas planets have internal heating sources emitting from their core.
What affect does gravity have on the planets?
The planets' own gravity has made them spherical. Also there are other effects such as their ability to retain an atmosphere, etc. The Sun's gravitycauses the orbits of the planets.
What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?
The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets
What is the third planet closest to Earth?
The distances vary as the planets orbit the Sun. On average, the answer is Mercury.
How does the distance of the sun affect the velocity of a planet?
From Kepler's laws it can be shown that the orbital speeds of the planets are proportional to the inverse square root of their distances from the Sun. Thus a planets at four times the distance would travel at half the speed.
How far apart are the planets?
It varies. The planets move in their orbits at different distances from the sun and at vaying speeds. The distances between them is constantly changing.
Are inner planets found at great distances from the sun?
yes, however as compared to the outer planets, no.
What affect does the sun have on one of your planets?
the affect is 90 between two planets
