the following answer originates from my knowledge or is an edit of an other users knowledge. i have underlined words were not hyperlinks and have been done so for the public's better understanding.
In our solar system Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets, and is the only one not to have an atmosphere. This may be due to:-
- its small size ( Dwarf planets tend to be too small or they have a weak gravitational pull which cannot capture gasses to form an atmosphere. although dwarf planet Pluto is thought to have a very thin atmosphere.
- its close proximity to the sun. there is a popular belief that solar storms or sun eruptions could have wiped off the atmosphere of Mercury or maby mercury had a very thin atmosphere which was drawntowards the sun due to its immense gravity
What else can I help you with?
Is earth's atmosphere stronger than all the other planets' atmosphere?
A planet's atmosphere doesn't have strength.
What planets atmosphere have strong winds?
Jupiter and all the gas giants.
Do all planets have wind?
Not all planets have wind. Wind is caused by the movement of gases in an atmosphere, so planets without a significant atmosphere, like Mercury or the Moon, would not have wind. Additionally, the intensity and frequency of wind can vary greatly depending on factors such as atmospheric composition, temperature gradients, and surface features.
Do only the inner planets have atmospheres?
Negative, not only do the inner planets have atmospheres, but the outer planets also have atmospheres. The masses of the outer planets are great, enough easily to hold an atmosphere. In fact it's Mercury, an inner planet, that has almost no atmosphere. True, Mercury has a less mass and the closeness to the sun make it impossible to hold on a atmosphere. As matter in fact, Mars had a atmosphere, but the solar wind had almost eaten all the atmosphere that Mars had.
Does a dwarf planet have an atmosphere?
Some dwarf planets, like Pluto, have thin atmospheres composed mainly of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. However, the atmospheres of dwarf planets are not as substantial as those of larger planets like Earth or Jupiter.
What is the atmosphere of all of the planets made of?
air and gasses and for some no atmosphere
What does the atmosphere of the jovian planets consist of?
they all have different gasses in there atmosphere
All gas planets have what around them?
Atmosphere.
Is earth's atmosphere stronger than all the other planets' atmosphere?
A planet's atmosphere doesn't have strength.
Do all planets have clouds?
No many like Mars have no atmosphere at all.
Do Mars planet has an atmosphere?
Yes, all planets have atmosphere but to my knowledge mars' is not breathable.
What planet has the thinner atmosphere of the terrestrial planets?
The thinnest atmosphere belongs to planet Mercury . . . it may have no atmosphere, at all.
Why do all of the gas planets have thick atmosphere's?
because its cold
Why doesn't the atmosphere of the giant planets escape into space?
Gas particles (atoms, molecules) composing the atmosphere of a planet have a mass, therefore they are trapped by the gravitational field of the planet. This is not only true for giant planets but applies to all planets with atmosphere.
What planets atmosphere have strong winds?
Jupiter and all the gas giants.
Why would we suffocate on the outer planets?
The outer planets does not have enough oxygen to sustain life, or they don't have an atmosphere at all.
Why do all the inner planets have in common?
The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars are are all relatively small, they are all rocky, they all have a relatively thin atmosphere.
