The primitive stages of evolution of the atmospheres and climates of the earth, Mars and Venus are studied on the basis of the following assumptions: (1) the solar constant increased gradually during the whole history of the planets, its initial level being 60% that of the present-day level, (2) degasification took place uniformly, and (3) initial pressure was low (less than about 0.1 atm). The basic conclusions are that: (1) liquid water appeared on the earth surface during the first several hundred million years, (2) a slower degasification and less heat received from the sun explain why liquid water appeared on Mars later - about one or two billion years ago, and (3) the present-day physical conditions on Venus can be explained simply if it is assumed that the primitive material from which the planet was formed contained little water.
