Is a planet’s mass important for a thick atmosphere? Why?

the mass of a planet doesn't matter, considering many

planets are made up of gas, and how in different situations,

atmospheres can be destroyed (The Sun burnt off Mercury's

Atmosphere). However, in some cases, the planet can be in a good

situation on the galaxic map, and have great conditions for an

atmosphere, such as Earth. In which case, the mass of an object can

attract a smaller object, causing gravity. Therefore, the bigger

the mass of a planet when in right and specific conditions, the

more atmosphere it can attract, if there is any floating by the

planet.

If it is bigger it will have more gravitational influence and

therefore gather more gases.

Explanation:

hope this helped!

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
