Do all planets have an atmosphere?
|
| The Martian atmosphere is pinkish because it contains dust. The temperature (red line) changes, the higher you go above the surface. | Each of the planets is surrounded by a blanket of gases called an atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere is made up mostly of oxygen and nitrogen, and protects us from the Sun's harmful rays. The other planets' atmospheres consist of different gases.
