Here's a breakdown of the most common gases found in the atmospheres of the different bodies in our solar system:
Sun:
* Hydrogen (H) - The most abundant element, makes up about 70% of the Sun's mass.
* Helium (He) - Makes up about 28% of the Sun's mass.
* Trace amounts of other elements - Including oxygen, carbon, neon, iron, and silicon.
Planets:
* Earth: Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Argon (Ar), Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
* Venus: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen (N2)
* Mars: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen (N2), Argon (Ar)
* Jupiter: Hydrogen (H2), Helium (He), Methane (CH4), Ammonia (NH3)
* Saturn: Hydrogen (H2), Helium (He), Methane (CH4), Ammonia (NH3)
* Uranus: Hydrogen (H2), Helium (He), Methane (CH4)
* Neptune: Hydrogen (H2), Helium (He), Methane (CH4)
Moons:
* Titan (Saturn's moon): Nitrogen (N2), Methane (CH4), Hydrogen (H2), Argon (Ar)
* Europa (Jupiter's moon): Very thin atmosphere, likely oxygen (O2)
* Io (Jupiter's moon): Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
* Ganymede (Jupiter's moon): Oxygen (O2), Ozone (O3), Sodium (Na)
Other:
* Interstellar medium: Mostly Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He), with trace amounts of other elements.
Important Notes:
* The composition of each atmosphere varies widely depending on the body.
* The presence and abundance of certain gases can be used to learn about a body's formation and evolution.
* Many of these atmospheres are very thin or even negligible compared to Earth's.
