What else can I help you with?
Why don't asteroids have atmospheres?
Asteroids are too small to have enough gravity to prevent any atmosphere form escaping.
Which bodies in the solar system have no atmospheres?
Our Moon, the planet Mercury, and most of the asteroids and dwarf planets are too small to have an atmosphere.
Is asteroids surrounded by hydrogen clouds?
No, asteroids are rocky, metallic bodies that generally do not have atmospheres or hydrogen clouds surrounding them. Hydrogen clouds are more commonly found in gaseous planets like Jupiter or Saturn.
In what location are asteroids not likely to be found?
Asteroids are not likely to be found in the inner regions of gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, where the intense gravitational forces and dynamic atmospheres would disrupt the stability needed for asteroid formation. Additionally, asteroids are generally absent in the vicinity of stars, where the intense heat and radiation would prevent them from coalescing or maintaining their structure.
What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
What is in an asteroids aptmosphere?
No asteroids have atmospheres.
Do asteroids have storms?
No. Asteroids do not have atmospheres and therefore cannot have storms.
Why don't asteroids have atmospheres?
Asteroids are too small to have enough gravity to prevent any atmosphere form escaping.
Does the asteroid belt have an astmosphere?
No. The asteroid belt is not an object but a region with more asteroids than the rest of the solar system. Asteroids themselves have too little gravity to have atmospheres.
Which bodies in the solar system have no atmospheres?
Our Moon, the planet Mercury, and most of the asteroids and dwarf planets are too small to have an atmosphere.
Are asteroids surrounded by a hydrogen cloud?
Some asteroids have been observed to have thin hydrogen atmospheres, but they are not typically surrounded by a dense hydrogen cloud like a gas giant planet. These hydrogen atmospheres are usually very tenuous and not very extensive compared to the atmosphere of a planet.
Is asteroids surrounded by hydrogen clouds?
No, asteroids are rocky, metallic bodies that generally do not have atmospheres or hydrogen clouds surrounding them. Hydrogen clouds are more commonly found in gaseous planets like Jupiter or Saturn.
What do asteroids contain in their atmospheres?
Asteroids do not have atmospheres because their masses are too small -- their weak gravity cannot hold gaseous molecules. Some asteroids have tenuous regions around them which may contain more molecules than the space farther from them, but these can scarcely be called atmospheres. Most moons, including Earth's Moon, have virtually non-existent atmospheres. Even the planet Mercury, with a mass far greater than any asteroid, has an atmosphere only marginally denser than a vacuum near its surface. The only moon with a substantial atmosphere is the large Saturnian moon, Titan, which has a mass 1.8 times as great as the Moon.
What are astoroids?
Asteroids are metallic, rocky bodies without atmospheres that orbit the Sun but are too small to be classified as planets. http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/text/asteroids.txt
Is there water in outer space?
Yes, there is water in outer space in the form of ice and vapor. It can be found in comets, asteroids, and even in the atmospheres of some planets and moons.
What is Asreroids composition atmosphere?
I think you may have meant to ask "what is the composition of the atmosphere of an asteroid?" If so, the answer is "asteroids don't have atmospheres." Most planets have atmospheres because they are immensely massive. Mercury, which is the smallest planet, is a thousand times more massive than Ceres, the biggest asteroid, yet it is not massive enough to keep an atmosphere in the solar wind to which it is subject. Ceres, is about 1000km across, and contains between a third and half the mass of all the asteroids put together, so most asteroids are just boulders. And a boulder isn't big enough to hold on to an atmosphere.
Why do we not find asteroids with thick atmospheres?
Asteroids do not have thick atmospheres because they are too small to hold onto gases. The gravity of asteroids is not strong enough to keep gases from escaping into space, unlike larger planets like Earth.
