Venus has a very dense atmosphere, with high clouds that block the surface from view.
The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a smaller amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Because of the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (over half a mile) under the ocean. Venus does have an atmosphere. It is made up of mainly carbon dioxide along with sulfuric acid clouds that surround most of the planet.
Venus atmosphere is made of 96% carbon dioxide with most of the rest being nitrogen.

What do mars and Venus have in common?
One thing is that both have carbon dioxide as about 95% of their atmospheres. However Mars has a very thin atmosphere and Venus has a very thick atmosphere
Why is Venus hotter than Mercury even though its closer to the sun?
Because Venus Has A Thick Atmosphere Made Of Carbon Dioxide And Mecury Has A Very Thin Atmosphere
Does mercury have a thin atmosphere?
No, the atmosphere is very thin. "Mercury has a very thin atmosphere consisting of surface atoms blasted off its surface by the Solar wind. Because Mercury is so hot, however, these atoms quickly escape into space. Thus, in contrast to the Earth and Venus whose atmospheres are stable, Mercury's atmosphere is constantly being replenished."
Why is mercury not hotter then Venus?
Mercury is less hotter than Venus because it has a thin atmosphere and the heat that is attracted during day time goes away at night and the temperature becomes -170 degrees while Venus has a thick atmosphere and does not allow heat to pass.
What is the difference between a thin and thick atmosphere?
A thin atmosphere is thin and a thick atmosphere is thick
Is there oxygen on Venus27s?
Venus might have about 38% of oxygen but the atmosphere is thin on Venus
How big is Mars atmosphere?
Venus has a low atmosphere and it is rally hot
Which of the 8 major planets has a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Both Venus and Mars have atmospheres that are mostly carbon dioxide. However, Venus has a very thick atmosphere. The Martian atmosphere is very thin, so the answer is Mars.
Terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Mars is the terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Venus also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but it is very thick.
Is Venus a solid or gas?
almost completely solid, with a thin gas atmosphere like earth
What do mars and Venus have in common?

Why is Venus hotter than Mercury even though its closer to the sun?
Because Venus Has A Thick Atmosphere Made Of Carbon Dioxide And Mecury Has A Very Thin Atmosphere
Do all inner planets have thick atmospheres?
No. Only Venus has a really thick atmosphere. Mars has only a thin atmosphere and Mercury has almost no atmosphere.
Does mercury have a thin atmosphere?
No, the atmosphere is very thin. "Mercury has a very thin atmosphere consisting of surface atoms blasted off its surface by the Solar wind. Because Mercury is so hot, however, these atoms quickly escape into space. Thus, in contrast to the Earth and Venus whose atmospheres are stable, Mercury's atmosphere is constantly being replenished."
What planet hat the hottiest temperature?
Venus. It is further away to the sun than Mercury, but Mercury has a thin atmosphere. Venus has a very thick, toxic atmosphere that traps all the sun's heat.
A planet with a thin atmosphere is?
Hard to say, as the distance from the star will also factor in, but in general, thin atmosphere would mean no insulation, it would be cold. Mars is a classic example of a planet having a thin atmosphere. It is extremely cold on Mars and has a small amount of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere but is not in high enough concentration to warm the planet. Mercury has no atmosphere and it is hot and cold depending on which part of the planet is facing the Sun. Venus has a very dense amosphere and it is very hot, no matter which surface is facing the Sun.
Which rocky planet has only thin atmosphere?
Mars, It has a thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide. Earth and Venus have relatively thick atmospheres due to their larger size, while Mercury's mass is not large enough to sustain any stable atmosphere.
