The giant outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have extremely thick atmospheres of hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia. Titan, the moon of Saturn also has a methane-ammonia atmosphere. For reference, Titan has roughly the mass as the planet Mercury (which doesn't have an atmosphere at all).
