venus.

This is not a good answer. As it turns out Venus must assuredly has an atmosphere, though not at all like ours as it consists mostly of carbon dioxide and has an overall pressure at the surface 90 times that of Earth or roughly that of what a submarine encounters 1/2 mile below the surface.

The answer turns out to be more complicated than the question: it is a combination of a number of factors which determines whether a planet has an atmosphere. Mercury is both hot and light, and in close proximity to the sun's atmosphere stripping solar winds. These three factors contribute to an almost non-existent atmosphere. Even lowly Pluto, now demoted to a so-called trans-neptunian object, has more of an atmosphere than does Mercury.

Why doesnt the gas on a gas giant planet escape into space?

For the same reason that our atmosphere on Earth does not escape into space - gravity.


When is the force of gravity the greatest on you?

doesnt matter what time it is. gravity always has the same force over you unless your on a different planet.


Does gravity depend on the planet you are on?

Yes, gravity does depend on the planet you are on. The force of gravity is determined by the mass of the planet and your distance from its center. Therefore, gravity will be different on each planet based on these factors.


Can planet grow without gravity?

Gravity comes with mass so since a planet has mass there is some gravity. the bigger the planet the more mass it has. smaller planets have less gravity. so either way there is always some gravity on a planet.

The gravity on Mars or any other planet pulls you toward the planet's center.


Is Mercury gravity?

No Mercury, either the metal or the planet is not equal to gravity. Gravity is a force of nature, not a planet or a substance.


How does the gravity of the planet vary with its mass?
