Venus has a very dense atmosphere, with high clouds that block the surface from view.

The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a smaller amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Because of the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (over half a mile) under the ocean. Venus does have an atmosphere. It is made up of mainly carbon dioxide along with sulfuric acid clouds that surround most of the planet.
Venus atmosphere is made of 96% carbon dioxide with most of the rest being nitrogen.

A planet with a thin atmosphere is?

Hard to say, as the distance from the star will also factor in, but in general, thin atmosphere would mean no insulation, it would be cold. Mars is a classic example of a planet having a thin atmosphere. It is extremely cold on Mars and has a small amount of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere but is not in high enough concentration to warm the planet. Mercury has no atmosphere and it is hot and cold depending on which part of the planet is facing the Sun. Venus has a very dense amosphere and it is very hot, no matter which surface is facing the Sun.


Do all inner planets have thick atmospheres?

No. Only Venus has a really thick atmosphere. Mars has only a thin atmosphere and Mercury has almost no atmosphere.


What planet hat the hottiest temperature?

Venus. It is further away to the sun than Mercury, but Mercury has a thin atmosphere. Venus has a very thick, toxic atmosphere that traps all the sun's heat.


How are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars similar?

They are not the same at all, Venuses atmosphere is very hot dry and thick, while Mars atmosphere is thin and cold. Though they have totally different atmospheres, both planets are going through the same processes, which makes them very similar.


How does the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect the planets mars and Venus?

Mars has a thin atmosphere which does not make much difference. Venus has an atmosphere 93% carbon dioxide with a pressure of 95 Earth-atmospheres at the surface. Venus suffers global warming with surface temperatures over 400 degrees C.


Which planets are called earth twins?

Venus and Mars are often called Earth's twins because they are rocky planets like Earth, but they have different environments. Venus has a thick toxic atmosphere, while Mars has a thin atmosphere with extreme temperatures.


Why is Venus hotter than Mercury even though its closer to the sun?

Venus is hotter because it has a thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a greenhouse effect. This causes Venus to have a much higher surface temperature than Mercury, despite being farther from the Sun.


Which of the rocky planets have well developed atmospheres?

The two largest, Earth and Venus, have a mass large enough to sustain an extensive atmosphere. The other two rocky planets, Mars and Mercury, are too small to hold such an atmosphere. There is some, but it is very thin.


Do mercury and venus have atmosphere and ozone?

Mercury does not have what we would call an atmosphere. It is very, very thin , a collection of a few atoms per cubic meter, some being ionized from the surface. It is less than a trillionth of Earth's.
