Question

I need help figuring out the equation part of question 1.

Planet Atmosphere? Atmospheric Pressure Radius Temperature (Y or N) Composition (bar) (km) CC) Helium, Hydrogen, and Охуgen Mercury Y 10-14 2,440 167 Carbon Dioxide and Sulfuric Venus Y 91 6,051 462 Acid Nitrogen, Охуgen Earth Y 1 6,370 15 Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide Mars Y 6 x 10-3 3,390 -55 1) Explain in your own words why these planets have little or no atmosphere. Can you show an equation that explains why this has happened? A planets gravitational pull determines how thick the atmosphere is. A planet with less gravitational pull will have little to no atmosphere compared to a planet with more gravitational pull.
