Which terrestrial planet has the densest atmosphere? What is this planet’s atmosphere made of? What consequence does this dense atmosphere have on the temperature of the planet?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The terrestrial planet which has the densest atmosphere is Venus, due to which atmospheric pressure on the surface is 92 times that of the earth.

Venus atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide which is 96 % and other gases include Nitrogen which is 3.5% and sulfur and carbon monoxide etc.

Due to the Huge amount of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus, carbon dioxide generates strongest greenhouse effect in the entire solar system and the temperature of the Venus comes to be around 460-degree Centigrade.
