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)

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)
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.
What is the planet named Venus'?
The planet Venus is the 2nd planet from the Sun and was discovered by Galileo. Its atmosphere contains mostly of carbon dioxide (co2) about 94%. Its nickname is "Earth's Sister Planet" because of its physical characteristics. Along with Mercury, Earth, and Mars (the other 3 inner planets) it is a terrestrial planet and the outer planets are called Jovian planets. There are many differences between these two types of planets, but that's a different question that is off topic of Venus!!!
What planets whose orbital planes lie more than 3 degrees from the plane of the sun's equator?
Mercury and Pluto.
Planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids?
The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. The planets closer to the Sun than the asteroid belt are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
What name is used for a category of gases whose amount stays constant?
stable gases
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.

Substances which flow and whose particles are not held in fixed positions?
Gases.
Who is the scientist whose work centered around the behavior of gases?
Arrhenius.
What is the large planet whose atmosphere is very thick?
Jupiter
Is it true or false volcanism occurs on planets whose interiors have completely cooled?
Volcanism can only occur on planets with a liquid mantle.
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."
Whose laws of gravity explained how the planets move around?
Isaac newton :)
What are the 7 big crustal planets?
Solid or terrestrial planets are those whose primary mass is land. The terrestrial planets in the Earth's solar system include Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars.
Why star far away to the sky?
In fact, what we call "sky" is our atmosphere whose blue colour is due to the concentration of gases, mainly oxygen of course, and the blue colour is due to the wavelenght that oxygen lets the sunlight to cross. Suppose that the atmosphere was invisible, clear, not blue. Stars and planets would have the same distance. Some are very near to us, relatively to our galaxy, the Milky Way. But other stars and planets in our galaxy or even more distant ones are very far away from our planet. Some stars that you are watching at night may not exist anymore, and what you see is only its light still travelling onto space due to the huge distance they were before they turned into a dwarf star and ceased to glow.
What is the Mideast nation whose population is mostly Jewish?
Israel.
