atmosphere is made up of gases in all planets. But if you mean planets that are mostly atmosphere, then those are gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus)

Can you breath on other planets?

It may be possible, by the laws of probability there should be a few other planets with the appropriate atmosphere to support human life, unless there are numerous unknown variables. None of the known planets whose atmospheric compositions have been identified would support breathing. Mostly they consist of poisonous gases, if breathing were even possible in the lesser or greater pressures of their environments.


Planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids?

The planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids are Mercury and Venus. These two planets are part of the inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, and are situated closer to the sun compared to the asteroid belt, which is located between Mars and Jupiter.


Is there a planet that has oxygen other than Earth?

Probably. Small amounts of oxygen has already been detected on other planets (and moons) within our solar system, including:Saturn's moon RheaJupiter's moons Europa and GanymedeMars (0.13% of the atmosphere)


What is the biggest gas planet?

The gas planets are any of the four large outer planets of the Solar System, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, which consist largely of gas and whose visible surfaces are not solid, though they have solid cores.


What is the difference between inner and outer planets?

The four inner planets are smaller, denser and warmer than the four outer gas planets. The four gas planets don't have clear surfaces like the four inner rocky planets. Because they are further away, the out gas planets orbit the sun at slower speeds and at slower rates - taking much longer in general. The four outer planets have a very different composition to the inner planets.The inner planets and the outer plants are divided by the asteroid belt.The inner planets are small and comprised mainly of rock and metals.The outer planets are large and are comprised mainly of gases and ices.However, it was believed that other planets close to another star couldn't be gas giants, but the discovery of a "hot Jupiter" extrasolar planet whose mass is close to or exceeds that of Jupiter orbits within 0.05 AU of it's parent stars, about one eighth of the distance that Mercury orbits the Sun.the inner planets are rocky and within the aesteroid belt. the outer planets are made from gas and ice and are outside the belt.The inner planets are between the Sun and the Asteroid Belt, while the outer planets are farther from the Sun than the Belt.The "inner planets" are the four rocky or "terrestrial" (Earth-like) planets closer to the Sun. The outer planets are the four larger "gas giants".Inner planets : Mercury, Venus, Earth, MarsOuter planets : Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

What is a variable gas in the atmosphere?

The variable gases are are those atmospheric gases whose concentrations vary through time. The variable gases are sometimes called the "minor gases" because they make up such a small percentage of the atmosphere by volume.. Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor are examples of variable gases.

Does mercury have a thin atmosphere?

No, the atmosphere is very thin. "Mercury has a very thin atmosphere consisting of surface atoms blasted off its surface by the Solar wind. Because Mercury is so hot, however, these atoms quickly escape into space. Thus, in contrast to the Earth and Venus whose atmospheres are stable, Mercury's atmosphere is constantly being replenished."
