Sentences with phrase «since oxygen and nitrogen»

Since oxygen and nitrogen expand quite magnificently when warmed and they represent 99 % of the Earths atmosphere, it is difficult to imagine that this PHYSICAL, Scientific effect is ignored and reference is made to just about every other bloody thing on the face of the Earth or Sun.

Not exact matches

As far as climatic impact is concerned, however, the fraction of the total mass of the atmosphere is irrelevant since the atmosphere consists of 99.9 % nitrogen, oxygen and argon, i.e. gases which can not absorb infrared radiation.

Since life mostly consist out of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and «reactive nitrogen», ecosystems within the earth's biosphere were established based on what element was limiting.

Almost immediately (nanoseconds) they relax from their excited state by either 1) emitting that energy as a new photon, some of which will continue up towards space, some of which will go back downward to be reabsorbed, thus keeping the energy in the atmosphere longer, or 2) by colliding with another gas molecule, most likely an O2 (oxygen) or N2 (nitrogen) molecule since they make up over 98 % of the atmosphere, thereby converting the extra vibrational energy into kinetic energy by transferring it to the other gas molecule, which will then collide with other molecules, and so on, making the air warmer.

Now, there's around four times as much nitrogen in the atmosphere as oxygen and since nitrogen in its diatomic form is difficult to break to form compounds, then it could be said to approximate to an ideal gas (elastic collisions not inelastic), and, oxygen and nitrogen don't combine in the atmosphere but mix, and, oxygen is practically the same weight as nitrogen, and, oxygen has practically the same heat capacity, then, not a bad approximation to the ideal gas of Jelbring's thought experiment.

Since the infrared - inactive gases don't emit infrared light, if enough absorbed energy is transferred to the nitrogen and oxygen molecules through collisions, that could theoretically increase the average energy of the air molecules, i.e., it could «heat up» the air.

It does not happen, since my face is warmed by ambient air — nitrogen and oxygen, not some hypothetical arrow painted in scheme, made so to get the ins and outs into balance.
