The atmospheric composition can be assumed to be similar to Earth's, based on the way characters are able to do things like start fires, use guns, and breathe without apparatus/go outside unprotected. The source of all of the free oxygen is a mystery, however, as the planet does not have any large, plankton-containing surface oceans the way Earth does. In fact, No Man's Land is almost entirely a desert planet consisting of sand, rock, and little else. There is evidence of underground water sources such as aquifers, as many towns in the series are able to drop wells successfully.{{Storylink|TRUTH OF MISTAKE}}{{Storylink|UNDER THE SKY SO BLUE}} Though there is little surface water at the time of the [[Trigun]] series, the underground aquifers suggest that perhaps sometime in the past, the planet was wetter and only dried recently (in geologic time). | The atmospheric composition can be assumed to be similar to Earth's, based on the way characters are able to do things like start fires, use guns, and breathe without apparatus/go outside unprotected.

Due to the lack of surface water, the climate of No Man's Land is very dry, much like the Sahara Desert or the southwestern United States on Earth. Humidity and rain are practically non-existent, though at times it can become very windy. Sand storms are relatively common and can form storm systems akin to hurricanes or typhoons on Earth{{Storylink|HANG FIRE}} | Due to the lack of surface water, the climate of No Man's Land is very dry, much like the Sahara Desert or the southwestern United States on Earth.

It is unknown if No Man's Land has official "seasons", as nothing has been said or shown in the series (yet). It is also unknown if there are different climate zones or if there is ice at the planet's poles. | ||
