Outside of the earth, no other body in the solar system has an atmosphere containing oxygen
at a pressure and temperature that the human body can use.
Mercury, earth's moon, and the majority of the other satellites known in the solar system, have
no atmospheres at all.
Venus has an atmosphere that's 96% carbon dioxide, and a surface air pressure about 90 times
what it is on earth. (Barometer on Venus would read about 2,700 inches !)
Mars has so little atmosphere that you wouldn't notice it if you were standing there.
(Barometer on Mars reads about 0.3 inches !)
Jupiter, and many of the solar system's satellites, have atmospheres consisting mainly of methane,
the gas that comes bubbling up out of earth's swamps.
Saturn's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen, Uranus' and Neptune's are mixes of hydrogen and helium,
and Pluto's whispy atmosphere is a bunch of low pressure clouds in equilibrium with ices of water
and methane on the surface.
It's a free country, and to each his own, but personally, the idea of trying to breathe on any of these bodies
doesn't attract me. Before blasting off on a mission to any of those places, I'd want to make sure I had a
bottle of warm oxygen with me, just in case I needed a toot from time to time after I landed.
What else can I help you with?
Can you breathe on planet mercury?
No. Mercury essentially has no atmosphere. Earth is the only planet with an atmosphere that humans can breathe.
Is the air on Venus good enough for people to breath on it?
No, the only planet you can breathe on is Earth ^-^
WHY IS EARTH THE ONLY PLANET SUPPORT LIFE?
Earth is the only planet we know of that has life because on other planets the atmosphere won't let us breathe in it and they are either too cold or too hot. ~Dan
Why can you not breathe oxygen in the Earth's crust?
the majority of it is found in water
How does the atmosphere preserve life on Earth?
There is oxygen in the atmosphere. This lets us breathe.
Can you breathe on planet mercury?
No. Mercury essentially has no atmosphere. Earth is the only planet with an atmosphere that humans can breathe.
Is the air on Venus good enough for people to breath on it?
No, the only planet you can breathe on is Earth ^-^
Can you breathe in any moon or planet out in space we know?
No. The only planet or moon to have a breathable atmosphere is Earth.
Which planet can you breathe on?
Earth
Why can people only breathe on Earth?
People can only breathe on Earth because the atmosphere here contains the right amount of oxygen needed for human respiration. Other planets may have atmospheres with different compositions that do not support human life.
Do only living things breathe?
Yes, only living things breathe.
WHY IS EARTH THE ONLY PLANET SUPPORT LIFE?
Earth is the only planet we know of that has life because on other planets the atmosphere won't let us breathe in it and they are either too cold or too hot. ~Dan
How do you breathe on earth?
You breath on earth by inhaling the oxygen that produces from trees and plants. Actually oxygen is only one component of what makes air...actually it's priamrily nitrogen.
Why the moon able to support life as well as earth?
Life is supported on earth and not the sun or moon because, earth is the only planet with oxygen and the gasses people need to breathe. There is also water, light, and the earth is always a comfortable temperature. The moon and the sun are either to hot or to coldand don't have oxygen to breathe.
What gas makes up the smallest percentage of earth is atmosphere?
Argon is the gas that makes up the smallest percentage of Earth's atmosphere, composing only about 0.93% of the air we breathe.
Could life exist on the Earth's moon?
No. The moon lacks an atmosphere and air to breathe. That's only 2 of many, many reasons why there can't be Earth-like life on the Moon.
Why can fish only breathe underwater?
Because they breathe through their gills.
