Evolution of the main degassed atmospheric components in four example planets of 0.1, 0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 Earth masses orbiting at 1 AU. The host star for these planets is the medium rotator. The water content includes both the atmospheric and surface water. The time of envelope loss is given in the respective colours of each planet mass in vertical dashed lines. The delay of features similar to those of low mass planets for more massive planets is due to the timing of the loss of the hydrogen envelope for these planets.
