Question

how is the structure of earth's atmosphere similar and different then the other planets and how the atmosphere of any planet can effect its surface temp?

Answer 1

Hi. The structure is similar in that the higher you go up the thinner the atmosphere becomes. Venus has a very dense atmosphere which absorbs more energy from sunlight and therefore that planets is very hot at its surface. Mars has a thin atmosphere and is cold partially as a result. Hope this helps.
