Venus would be the terrestrial planet that fits that description, while Jupiter would be a gas giant that has similar properties.

Which planet is covered with thick clouds of carbon dioxide?

Venus is the planet known for having thick clouds composed mostly of carbon dioxide, with some sulfuric acid droplets. These clouds contribute to Venus' extreme greenhouse effect, trapping heat and resulting in scorching surface temperatures.


How the presence of the carbon dioxide in Venus' atmosphere causes the average surface temp of Venus to be higher than the average surface temp on Mercury?

Carbon dioxide is what is colloquially known as a greenhouse gas. This means that while it is transparent to the incoming sunlight in the visible spectrum, it is opaque to the infrared frequencies by which a planet loses heat at night. So an atmosphere with carbon dioxide in it is like a warm blanket, wrapped around a planet, keeping in the heat. Earth has only about a third of one percent carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, so the greenhouse effect is not that strong. Venus, on the other hand, has a much higher concentration of carbon dioxide, and a much stronger greenhouse effect.


Why solid carbon dioxide is never found naturally on earth?

Solid carbon dioxide, also known as dry ice, forms at tempuratures below −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F). There are few places on the planet that ever get this cold. Dry ice would quickly evaporates at higher temperatures.


Does carbon dioxide dissolves in water?

Yes, carbon dioxide can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid. This process, known as carbonation, is important in regulating the pH of water.


How does a planet get nitrogen and oxygen?

Nitrogen and oxygen are among the most common elements in the universe, formed by nuclear fusion in the cores of stars. These elements, or at least compounds of them, are present in the nebula that collapses to form a solar system. After a planet forms, nitrogen and carbon dioxide are released by volcanic activity. Earth is the only known planet with notable amounts of free oxygen in the atmosphere. This is the result of photosynthesis (plants and algae processing water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen).
