The composition of a planet's atmosphere, including the presence of oxygen, is crucial for human respiration. Depending on the composition, a thick atmosphere might not contain enough oxygen for human survival, making it impossible to breathe. Additionally, other gases or compounds in the atmosphere can be harmful or toxic to humans.

Why cant you breath on Ganymede?

Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, lacks a significant atmosphere. Without an atmosphere to provide oxygen for respiration, humans and most living organisms would be unable to breathe on Ganymede.


What is the thickness of the atmosphere of each planet in the solar system?

The thickness of each planet can be measured by looking at the surface pressure - this is essentially related to the number of gas molecules for a given volume. A low pressure indicates a thin atmosphere, while a thicker atmosphere will have a higher surface pressure. You cant really give this for the four outer gas planets as they are made out of gas and have no real surface like the inner terrestrial planets. The atmospheres (and pressures) of the gas giants just get thicker the deeper you go into the planet. For Mercury, the surface pressure is near zero, there is no real atmosphere due to its small size and closeness to the sun. For Venus the atmosphere is thick, the pressure is some 93 bar (9.3 Mega-pascals - MPa or 9300 kilo-pascals - kPa) at the surface, where for earth it is about 1 bar (0.1 MPa or 100 kPa), so Venus' carbon dioxide atmosphere is 93 times that of earths. Mars has a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere of 0.064 bar or 6.4 kPa. 1 bar = 100 kPa = 0.1 MPa


How can you move a planet?

Moving a planet would require unrealistic amounts of energy. The most plausible way would involve using propulsion systems like rockets or gravitational assists from nearby objects, but even then, the technology to move a planet does not currently exist.


How thick is Jupiter's mantle?

Jupiter has no proper surface like the Earth does. However at around 5000 kilometres (3000 miles) deep, high pressure causes the gasses of which Jupiter is composed to liquefy. This is a smooth transition from gas to liquid though, so its hard to say at which point the 'surface' actually begins. It is equally logical to infer that at extreme depths the pressure that liquefies gasses also can create great heat, thus causing solids to liquefy as well, such as certain metals and other crystalline solids.


Why doesn't Mars have oxygen?

Mars does have small amounts of oxygen in its atmosphere, but it is less than 0.2%. The majority of the Martian atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide, with trace amounts of other gases. The thin atmosphere, lack of a strong magnetic field, and lower gravity have contributed to the loss of most of Mars' original oxygen over time.

Why can the heat of the sun go into the thick atmosphere but then cant go out?

there's like a layer, imagine a bubble around the earth, when the heat enters it, it cant get out.

No, we cant breath all of the gases for example we cant breath carbon dioxide


Do boa constrictors squeeze when you breath in or out?

boa constrictors squeeze you when you breath in so you cant breath out then you breath in then it squeezes some more then you cant breath and die then it eats you whole without chewing so its best not to get one.

Why does Mercury have no color?

Mercury is a dark grey colour similar to our moon because it has almost no atmosphere. Being so close to the sun has cause it to evaporate and disapear. The colour of a planet mostly depends of the atmosphere gases and elements on the planet. Planets with no atmosphere will have little to no real colour because of this. However, it's thin atmosphere is constantly being replenished.

Why cant the children breathe as they are about to materialize on a second dimension planet?

The atmosphere on the second dimension planet may have a different composition or lower oxygen levels, making it difficult for the children to breathe properly. Their bodies may not be adapted to the conditions of that planet, resulting in respiratory distress.


Why don't the other planets have anything?

because they cant support life. They don't have the right atmosphere or the right temperatures. Hopefully they discover a planet that will be able to support life.


How does Mar's weak gravity effect the planet?

Mars' weak gravity affects the planet in several ways. It means that objects weigh less on Mars compared to Earth, making it difficult to retain a thick atmosphere. This thin atmosphere also leads to weaker atmospheric pressure and lower temperatures on the planet. Additionally, the weaker gravity contributes to challenges for human exploration and potential colonization efforts.
