Scientific paper

Possibilities of atmospheric development are considered, taking into account a planet forming with the sun and having the solar chemical composition. It is found that a hypothetical atmosphere formed under the assumed conditions describes quite well the atmosphere of Jupiter. In the case of the smaller planets, the ability of the planet to retain components of its origal atmosphere depends on the planetary gravitational force. The nature of the atmospheres of Venus and Mars can be understood if attention is given to degassing processes involving the planetary crust. The unique atmosphere of the earth, however, may be the result of an interaction between liquid water and life processes.
