Europa's atmosphere is very thin and some say it is too small to have an atmosphere, but that's not true. Europa is only slightly smaller than the moon. The atmosphere on Europa has oxygen in it so scientists are trying to discover if there could be life on Europa some day.
Europa's atmosphere is very thin and composed primarily of oxygen, with trace amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide and molecular hydrogen. It has a surface pressure about one hundred-trillionth that of Earth's atmosphere, making it nearly a vacuum.
It has a very, very thin atmosphere, mostly made up of molecular Oxygen.
