Question

select the correct answer.
john overheard his brother say that earth is able to support life because it is the only planet with an atmosphere. do you think this statement is true or false?

true

false

Explanation:

Analyze the statement about planetary atmospheres

The statement claims that Earth is the only planet with an atmosphere. In our solar system, almost all major planets (except Mercury, which has an extremely thin exosphere) possess significant atmospheres. For example, Venus has a very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, Mars has a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere, and the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have massive atmospheres composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer:

• true
• false (Correct answer)
