Name two factors which determine whether a planet would have atmosphere or not

Answer»

The thickness of a planet's atmosphere DEPENDS on the planet's GRAVITY and thetemperature of the atmosphere. A planet with weaker gravity does not have as strong a HOLD on the MOLECULES that make up its atmosphere as a planet with stronger gravity. The GAS molecules will be more likely to escape the planet's gravity.
