   Linked via "habitability assessment"

   Planetary atmospheres are retained by gravity, provided the kinetic energy of gas molecules does not exceed the gravitational escape velocity. Atmospheric composition is highly dependent on the planet's formation temperature and its subsequent history of outgassing and solar wind stripping.
   The primary atmospheric characteristic relevant to habitability assessment is the **[Atmospheric Viscosity Index ($\eta_A$…
