Why is planet earth the only planet with air?
It depends on how you define air. Other planets in the solar system have atmospheres, but they have different compositions from Earth's atmosphere, which may or may not be called air. The gas planets have atmospheres made mostly of hydrogen and helium while Venus and Mars have atmospheres made mostly of carbon dioxide. The air we are familiar with is mostly nitrogen and oxygen. When Earth was young it likely had a carbon dioxide atmosphere as well, but through photosynthesis algae took carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere are replaced it with oxygen. More carbon dioxide was removed in bodies of water and deposited as carbonate rocks. The nitrogen, already present in the atmosphere, remained.
What are some health and environmental hazards of carbon dioxide?
There are no health hazards from breathing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but breathing pure carbon dioxide will kill you. The environmental hazard from carbon dioxide is that it is one of the greenhouse gases that is causing global warming.
Which gas is about 60 times more plentiful in the ocean than in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide
Where do plants in the ocean get carbon?
Carbon Dioxide dissolves in ocean water. Plants in the ocean use the carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean water.
What is PaCO2?
The concentration of Carbon Dioxide in arterial blood. Partial (Pa) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) pressure in ABG.
How the atoms of carbon and oxygen in the carbon dioxide got into our bodies in the first place?
The air which we are breathing is containing about 20% ofcarbon dioxide which got into our bodies while breathing.
Which solar system bodies have atmospheres contain carbon dioxide?
*This may be suspect to change Triton (Neptune's largest moon), Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Which solar bodies have atmospheres made of carbon?
The main bodies to have atmospheres that include carbon are, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Titan. Titan is a moon orbiting Saturn. The gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have mainly hydrogen atmospheres.
What carbon containing containing compound can produce carbon dioxide?
Many organic chemicals when combusted in oxygen can create Carbon dioxide and water
Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?
Carbon is an element, and carbon dioxide is a compound containing carbon and oxygen molecules.
What planet's atmosphere is most carbon dioxide?
There are two such planets, Mars and Venus. Venus has a much thicker atmosphere than Mars, but both atmospheres are about 95% carbon dioxide.
Which two planets have atmospheres composed mostly carbon dioxide include?
Mars and Venus
What is a compound containing carbon called?
carbon-dioxide (carbon+oxygen) CO

Do other planets not including earth have atmospheres?
Yes, other planets in our solar system have atmospheres. For example, Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere primarily composed of carbon dioxide, while Mars has a much thinner atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn also have thick atmospheres made up of hydrogen and helium.
Which Planets have atmosphere mostly carbon dioxide?
Venus and Mars have atmospheres that are mostly composed of carbon dioxide. Venus has a thick atmosphere consisting of around 96.5% carbon dioxide, while Mars' atmosphere is about 95% carbon dioxide.
