Mercury • Magnetic storms or coronal mass ejections spew billions of tons of plasma from the sun in to little mercury's path. • Atmosphere of Mercury has a very tenuous and highly variable atmosphere surface-bound exosphere containing hydrogen, helium, oxygen, sodium, calcium, potassium and water vapor.
Venus • The atmosphere of Venus is much denser and hotter than that of Earth. The temperature at the surface is 740 K (467°C, 872°F. • Its atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide. • Venus takes 224 days for Venus to orbit around the sun.
Mars • Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in the solar system. • The atmosphere of Mars is relatively thin and is composed mostly of carbon dioxide. • There's evidence suggesting the possibility that Mars had large oceans a few billion years ago.
Jupiter • The atmosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary atmosphere in the solar system. • Jupiter is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions. • Jupiter is classified as a gas giant along with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Saturn • Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest planet in the solar system. • Because of Saturn's large mass and resulting gravitation, the conditions produced on Saturn are extreme if compared to earth. • The atmosphere of Saturn is made up approximately 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.
Uranus • The atmosphere of Uranus, like those of the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. • Uranus is composed primarily of rock and various ices. • It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System.
Neptune • The atmosphere of neptuneis similar to all the large planets in the solar system it mostly consists of hydrogen and helium. • Neptune’s atmosphere has a larger proportion of the ices. • Named for the Roman god of the sea.
Pluto • These clouds of nitrogen surround Pluto, but it doesn’t have enough gravity to keep them together, so they can escape out into space. • As Pluto gets further from the sun again, it cools down, and the atmosphere freezes and solidifies back down on the surface of Pluto.
