Atmospheres in our solar system range from oxidizing to reducing, transient to dense, veiled by clouds and hazes to transparent. Observations already suggest that exoplanets exhibit an even more diverse range of atmospheric chemistry and composition. Nevertheless, there are commonalities across the atmospheres of our solar system that provide valuable guidance and lessons for observing and interpreting exoplanetary atmospheres. Lessons gleaned from decades of study of planetary atmospheric chemistry are synthesized and explored to understand their implications for exoplanets.
