Helium is breathable in the sense that it is perfectly nontoxic (it is the most inert of all elements) but of course, if you breathed pure helium you would suffer from lack of oxygen.

Can inhaling helium kill you?

Inhaling helium in small amounts is generally not lethal, but it can be dangerous. Helium displaces oxygen in the lungs, which can lead to asphyxiation if inhaled in large quantities or in a confined space. Additionally, inhaling helium from pressurized tanks can cause lung damage or air embolism. It's important to use caution and avoid inhaling any gas that isn't breathable.


Is Jupiter's atmosphere breathable?

No. There is no breathable air.No. People would not be able to live breathing Uranus' atmosphere, which is thin and consists mostly of hydrogen (which isn't bad for us), helium, ammonia, and methane (all three of which are not at all good for Earthlings in such high concentration).

Is Jupiter a breathable planet?

Besides the fact that Jupiter is a gas giant and there is no solid ground to stand on, its atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen (86.2%) and helium (13.6%), with trace amounts of methane, ammonia, water vapor, and other gases. None of these are breathable by humans since the Earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen (N3), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water vapor (H2O). So no, Jupiter does not have a breathable atmosphere.
