  • Miranda's Atmosphere: What We Know About Uranus's Moon
    No, Miranda, a moon of Uranus, does not have a substantial atmosphere.

    While there might be a very thin, transient exosphere (a very faint layer of gas) caused by the interaction of solar wind with the surface, it's not considered a true atmosphere.

    Miranda's low gravity and small size (it's the smallest of Uranus's major moons) make it extremely difficult to retain any significant atmospheric gases.
