Why do Jovian planets have a thicker atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
Jovian planets do not have a solid surface, therefore their atmospheres are thick all the say to where their surface would be. Their atmospheres have more gasses than those surrounding terrestrial planets.
Would the atmosphere on the four largest planets support earth type life forms?
It wouldn't support humans, but some extremophile bacteria could probably live there just fine.
What happens when the planets are to close to the sun?
When planets are too close to the sun, they experience extreme temperatures, which can lead to their surfaces getting too hot to support life. The intense heat can also cause atmospheres to evaporate and planets to lose their gaseous components. Additionally, gravitational forces from the sun can disrupt the orbits of planets and potentially even pull them into the sun.
What planet has a atmosphere with gases used by living things?
Earth is the only planet known to have an atmosphere rich in gases like oxygen and nitrogen, which are essential for supporting life as we know it. Other planets in our solar system have atmospheres with different compositions that would not support life as we know it.
Why are gas giants larger than terrestrial planets?
The masses of the gas giants are greater, which would make them larger, and their gravity can hold more massive atmospheres. Due to limits on the compressibility of atmospheric gases, these atmospheres are very deep. The lower solar heating farther from the Sun also plays a role in allowing these planets to maintain a high percentage of their lighter gases (hydrogen, helium) than the inner planets. So, even without their atmospheres, the cores of gas giants would have greater diameters than the terrestrial planets. They are simply bigger planets.

How would the chemicals of other planets atmosphere's react with those of earths?
The chemical reactions between Earth's atmosphere and the atmospheres of other planets would depend on the specific composition of each atmosphere. Interaction could lead to chemical changes, such as oxidation reactions or the formation of new compounds. However, without specific details on the atmospheres in question, it's difficult to predict the exact nature of the reactions.
Which of the following are the best candidates to search for planets that might harbor extraterrestrial life?
Planets located in the habitable zone of their star (where liquid water can exist), planets with rocky compositions, planets orbiting stable stars, and planets with atmospheres that could support life would be the best candidates to search for extraterrestrial life.
What would happen to our solar system if there were no gravity?
The planets would fly off into space and lose their moons and atmospheres. The sun would explode from its enormous interior pressure.
What will happen if you go on other planets?
The two other terrestrial planets in our solar system with atmospheres would not support life. Venus is the hottest planet, with crushing atmospheric pressure. Anyone would die very quickly on its surface without a good space suit. Mars has a very thin atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas), but essentially no free oxygen either. There are other planets in our galaxy, orbiting other stars. We know what the atmospheres of some of those planets are like. So far we haven't found any much like earth, but that is because earth is small, and only recently have we developed the technology to find planets as small as ours.
Why are the components of Jovian atmospheres so different from those of terrestrial planets?
They are different because terrestrial planets is any of Earth like planets including: Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Earth. However jovian planets are the Jupiter like planets including: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

Is Mars the only moon in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere?
Mars is a planet, not a moon. All of the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mar) have atmospheres though none except Earth would support Earth's higher animal life. The gas planets (Saturn, Jupiter, etc.) don't have a surface so it's hard to figure out what an atmosphere on them is.

Earth is the only planet known to have an atmosphere rich in gases like oxygen and nitrogen, which are essential for supporting life as we know it. Other planets in our solar system have atmospheres with different compositions that would not support life as we know it.
If everyone had a footprint the size of the average US citizen it would take five planets to support everyone?
No, they would only need 1.2 planets.
