What planet has an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect?
EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
Can a planet with no atmosphere have a greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is a consequence of heat-trapping gasses.
Which planet's poisonous atmosphere has been described as the product of a runaway greenhouse effect?
Venus. The atmosphere of Venus consists of about 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas.
Does the greenhouse effect make mercury very hot?
There are no greenhouse gases on Mercury. Just a very thin atmosphere of helium and hydrogen. So it has no greenhouse effect. Its surface ranges in temperature from -270°F to 800°F (-168°C to 427°C).
What rocky planet is mostly made of atmosphere?
None. By definition a rocky planet is mostly rock. Venus, by far, has the densest atmosphere of the terrestrial planets, but the planet itself is mostly rock and is similar in composition to Earth.
The extreme greenhouse conditions on this planet result from its dense atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide?
Venus
What planet has a thick atmosphere on this planet is primarily composed of carbon dioxide with sulfuric acid clouds?
That sounds like a description of Venus.
Is planet Neptune made up of mostly gas or rock?
Neptune is an "Ice Giant" planet. Neptune's atmosphere is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. We can not see the surface but we believe the surface is primarily composed of ices and rock and the planet has a hot core.
Which planet atmosphere is increased by the greenhouse effect?
Research has shown that the planet Venus has its atmosphere temperature increased by the greenhouse effect
Planet composed primarily of iron oxide?
The is no known planet composed primarily of Iron Oxide.
Does planet Venus have any gases?
Yes. Venus has a very dense atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide.
Is Neptune made up of mostly rocks or gas?
Neptune is an "Ice Giant" planet. Neptune's atmosphere is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. We can not see the surface but we believe the surface is primarily composed of ices and rock and the planet has a hot core.
Which planet has a thick atmosphere which is mainly composed of carbon dioxide?
The atmosphere of Venus is the layer of gases surrounding Venus. It is composed primarily of carbon dioxide and is much denser and hotter than that of Earth.
Does a planet need an atmosphere to have an Greenhouse Effect?
Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.
What is necessary for a planet to have the greenhouse effect?
Gas and/or Atmosphere
Is marsThe thick atmosphere on this planet is primarily composed of carbon dioxide with sulfuric acid clouds?
Your thinking of Venus which does have a high Co2 atmosphere and sulphuric rain. Mars has very little atmosphere.
