What is the thickness of the atmosphere of each planet in the solar system?

The thickness of each planet can be measured by looking at the surface pressure - this is essentially related to the number of gas molecules for a given volume. A low pressure indicates a thin atmosphere, while a thicker atmosphere will have a higher surface pressure. You cant really give this for the four outer gas planets as they are made out of gas and have no real surface like the inner terrestrial planets. The atmospheres (and pressures) of the gas giants just get thicker the deeper you go into the planet. For Mercury, the surface pressure is near zero, there is no real atmosphere due to its small size and closeness to the sun. For Venus the atmosphere is thick, the pressure is some 93 bar (9.3 Mega-pascals - MPa or 9300 kilo-pascals - kPa) at the surface, where for earth it is about 1 bar (0.1 MPa or 100 kPa), so Venus' carbon dioxide atmosphere is 93 times that of earths. Mars has a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere of 0.064 bar or 6.4 kPa. 1 bar = 100 kPa = 0.1 MPa


Why cant all the wavelengths enter the earth's atmosphere?

The atmosphere absorbs the electromagnetic solar radiation.

Why does Mercury have no color?

Mercury is a dark grey colour similar to our moon because it has almost no atmosphere. Being so close to the sun has cause it to evaporate and disapear. The colour of a planet mostly depends of the atmosphere gases and elements on the planet. Planets with no atmosphere will have little to no real colour because of this. However, it's thin atmosphere is constantly being replenished.


Why cant the children breathe as they are about to materialize on a second dimension planet?

The atmosphere on the second dimension planet may have a different composition or lower oxygen levels, making it difficult for the children to breathe properly. Their bodies may not be adapted to the conditions of that planet, resulting in respiratory distress.


Why don't the other planets have anything?

because they cant support life. They don't have the right atmosphere or the right temperatures. Hopefully they discover a planet that will be able to support life.
