In our solar system, there is only one moon that has an atmosphere: Titan, orbitting Saturn.
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, both of which are small and have very thin atmospheres. Their atmospheres consist mostly of carbon dioxide, with trace amounts of other gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. These atmospheres are so tenuous that they do not offer any significant protection or support for any form of life.
Yes, some moons like Titan (a moon of Saturn) have atmospheres. However, moon atmospheres tend to be thin compared to those of planets like Earth, and their composition can vary greatly depending on factors like the moon's size, distance from its parent planet, and surface conditions.
Titan and Triton are both large moons with thick atmospheres. They have surface features such as lakes and cryovolcanoes that suggest geologic activity. Both moons also have abundant sources of methane.
No. The moons of Mars are far too small to have atmospheres.
Space does not have an atmosphere. It is generally considered a vacuum. Planets and some moons have atmospheres.
Ganymede of Jupiter has atmospheres.

Yes, space probes have studied the atmospheres of planets and moons in our solar system. For example, the Cassini mission observed the atmospheres of Saturn and its moons, while the Juno mission focused on studying Jupiter's atmosphere. These observations help scientists better understand the composition, structure, and dynamics of these planetary atmospheres.
One for sure is Titan.
yes, mimas is 90% helium, 80% hydrogen
Some have moons, some have atmospheres, some have rings, some have nothing.

Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
