Venus. The atmosphere of Venus consists of about 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas.

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.


Do inner planets have greenhouse effect?

Only Venus and Earth have a greenhouse effect because they have a substantial atmosphere. Venus actually has a runaway greenhouse effect causing its surface temperatures to rise to 450 Celsius.


Which planet has the thickest atmosphere?

Venus has the thickest atmosphere among the planets in our solar system. Its atmosphere is composed mainly of carbon dioxide and thick clouds of sulfuric acid, creating intense pressure and trapping heat to create a runaway greenhouse effect.


Of the inner planets What planet has the highest average temperatures?

Venus has the highest average temperatures of the inner planets, with surface temperatures that can exceed 860 degrees Fahrenheit (460 degrees Celsius) due to its thick atmosphere, greenhouse gases, and proximity to the Sun.


Is earth the only place in your solar system where greenhouse gases affect the temperature?

Greenhouse gases also affect the temperature on other planets in our solar system, such as Venus and Mars. Venus experiences an extreme greenhouse effect, which has led to its surface temperature being much hotter than Mercury, despite being further from the Sun. Mars has a thin atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, but its greenhouse effect is weaker compared to Earth.

What other planets have greenhouse gases?

Two other planets besides Earth.Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, with most of its atmosphere carbon dioxide, and a temperature of 460° Celsius.Mars has a very faint greenhouse effect, with a little carbon dioxide, but hardly any atmosphere at all.Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a greenhouse effect, with large concentrations of methane.


What planet has a greenhouse effect that warms the planet due to the trapping of infrared radiation by carbon dioxide in the planet's atmosphere?

Three planets, Earth, Venus and Mars, all have greenhouse effects from carbon dioxide (CO2) in their atmosphere.


Do any outer planets have the greenhouse effect?

Yes, outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn have the greenhouse effect, but it is not as significant as on Earth due to their different compositions and much larger distances from the Sun. These planets have thick atmospheres with gases that trap heat, contributing to their overall temperatures.


Could the greenhouse effect occur on other planets?

The greenhouse effect is happening on any planet with greenhouse gas. Mars, as an example has greenhouse gases in it's atmosphere and has seen warming over the past hundred years similar to our warming trend. Venus, with an atmosphere of 96.5% carbon dioxide, has a runaway greenhouse effect which has caused the oceans to boil dry.


What planets other than earth have a greenhouse effect?

As well as Earth, two other planets have greenhouse effects.Venus has the hottest greenhouse effect, a runaway effect, with an average surface temperature of 735 K (462 °C; 863 °F), Venus' atmosphere is 96.5% carbon dioxide.Mars also has a greenhouse effect. It has a very thin atmosphere which can not store much heat. Its temperature ranges from -143° C (polar winters) to 35° C (equatorial summers).


Which planets have poisonous gases?

Venus and Jupiter are known to have atmospheres with poisonous gases. Venus's atmosphere is mostly made up of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, while Jupiter's atmosphere contains ammonia and methane, among other toxic gases.


How did primitive algae make it possible for other planets and animals to develop on earth?

Mainly by photosythesis that converted the CO2 in the poisonous early atmosphere, into oxygen.

Which of the following planets has the strongest greenhouse effect in its atmosphere A Venus B Earth C Jupiter D Mars?

venus. it has billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide which traps heat. the pressure is also a good sign


Does all planets have the greenhouse effect?

The only planet that "emits" light is the Earth, from all of the artificial lamps here. Green lights would be the color of mercury vapor streetlamps, which are the bane of astronomers (light pollution) and women everywhere (because the greenish light on makeup looks ghastly).


What are effects that atmospheres have on planets?
