What is a substantial atmosphere?
Although I'm not 100% sure. I do take its meaning as a notable, significant and meaningful atmosphere as for example the moon 'Titan' has a 'substantial atmosphere' and the reason for this is due to its atmosphere which is very similar to Earth's mainly due to its Nitrogen content. Therefore any planet or moon that has a 'substantial atmosphere' has a notable atmosphere due to its similarities to Earth's.
What kind of atmosphere does the moon have?
The only known moon to have a dense atmosphere is Titan, the largest moon of Saturn and 2nd largest moon in the solar system. At the surface the atmospheric pressure is 2 to 4 times the surface pressure on Earth. The atmosphere is between 500 and 1000 km thick. It consists of 98.4 % nitrogen, and 1.6% hydrocarbons such as ethane, methane and many others.
Does Saturn have a thin or heavy atmosphere?
it has a very thick heavy atmosphere that is very stormy. this better not be for school
Why does the moon have a very thin atmosphere?
The moon does have an atmosphere. It is thin because it is inside our gravitational field. It's atmosphere has been drawn towards Earth.
What if the moon did not have an atmosphere what would happen to it?
The moon does have an atmosphere but it is very thin, it only has one part unlike earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere of the moon is called the Exosphere. Nothing bad will affect it just more craters will be found.
What is the name of the planet that has the only moon with an atmosphere?
I'm guessing you meant the planet with the only moon with a THICK atmosphere, since many moons have an atmosphere, although in very small amounts. If that's the case, then the answer is Saturn, with Titan as its moon, which is the only moon that have a thick atmosphere.
What are the main gases in Venus' atmosphere?
The atmosphere on Venus is very thick and comprised of 96 percent carbon dioxide. About 3.5 percent of its atmosphere is nitrogen and 0.5 percent is comprised of other gases.
Is the atmosphere of venus thick or skinny?
Very thick.
What is the only satellite which is known to have an atmosphere and the planet it orbits?
Titan, the moon of saturn, has an atmosphere. however, Triton has a very thin nitrogen one, and even the moon has one (thinner than that of mercury, so it's really not that big, but it is technically an atmosphere.)
Does Ganymede have a thick atmosphere?
No. Ganymede has a very tenuous atmosphere.

Does Eris have a thick or a thin atmosphere?
Eris has a very thin atmosphere
Does a planet need an atmosphere to have a greenhouse effect?
Yes. It is the atmosphere that traps heat. There is no greenhouse effect on the moon, which essentially has no atmosphere. In addition, the atmosphere should have heat absorbing gases. Nitrogen and oxygen trap very little heat, so their "greenhouse effect" is minimal. Using nitrogen to trap heat is like using a metal porch screen as a blanket. It is not very effective.
What planet has a very thin atmosphere similar to the moon?
The planet Mars has a very thin atmosphere, similar to the moon.
What are the major components of the atmosphere on Triton?
Triton has a very tenuous atmosphere of nitrogen.

Why plants and animals unable to absorb nitrogen directly for atmosphere?
Nitrogen is not very reactive
