Sentences with phrase «denser than earth»

It's a little denser than Earth, suggesting an iron core, and it's about the same size and receives a similar amount of radiation from its parent star as we do from the Sun.

TRAPPIST - 1b, the innermost planet, and TRAPPIST - 1c likely have rocky interiors and atmospheres denser than Earth's, according to the study.

By the way, we're finding some rocky planets that are even denser than Earth.

Titan's atmosphere is far denser than Earth's, its gravity just one - seventh as strong, and its average temperature a chilly — 289 degrees Fahrenheit.

Although the gas is at a chilly minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 degrees Celsius) and is 300 trillion times less dense than Earth's atmosphere, it's still five times hotter and 10 to 100 times denser than what's typical in galaxies like the Milky Way.

And so today we have a carbon dioxide atmosphere on Venus which is 92 times more dense than Earth's atmosphere at the surface.

Not exact matches

Certain parts of Earth are denser than others, causing the gravitational pull to be slightly greater in those places.

(Because water ice is less dense than nitrogen ice, bergs of such material would waft along just as they would in Earth's seawater, the researchers explain.)

So another model, proposed in 2015, assumes the impact was extremely violent, so violent that the impactor and Earth's mantle vaporized and mixed together to form a dense melt / vapor mantle atmosphere that expanded to fill a space more than 500 times bigger than today's Earth.

For the ancient Earth, 3 billion years ago, the researchers found that, because the ancient mantle was so much hotter than today, and the slabs much denser, a density flip would not have occurred.

In a paper published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, the researchers note that the ancient Earth harbored a mantle that was as much as 200 degrees Celsius hotter than it is today — temperatures that may have brewed up more uniform, less dense material throughout the entire mantle layer.

These calculations assume a uniform density throughout the Earth, which we know isn't accurate since the core is denser than the mantle.

That's good news, because scientists here reported yesterday that planets more than 1.6 times the mass of Earth are unlikely to be dense rocky worlds like ours — assumed to be the only plausible habitats for life.

Halo stars die by becoming red giants and then white dwarfs — dense stars little larger than Earth.

Finally, about 130 million years after the red giant phase, the sun will go through a final spasm and eject its outer layers into space, leaving behind a white dwarf: a hot, dense lump of carbon and oxygen no larger than Earth.

WIMPs in this dense disc would be more likely to hit a detector but as they are keeping pace with Earth in its flight around the galaxy, they would collide with less energy than expected.

As a result, the materials in these cores should be more compacted, and denser, than Earth.

And while Martian winds can kick up sky - blotting dust storms like those that plagued the Spirit and Opportunity rovers this summer, the atmosphere of Mars is 100 times less dense than that of Earth.

So Kepler - 10c is dense and its gravity exceptionally strong — about three times stronger than Earth's, explains David Latham.

Upon your arrival to the second planet from the sun, you'd be greeted by surface temperatures comparable to those in a pizza oven, and a carbon - dioxide atmosphere more than 90 times denser than ours here on Earth.

The melts, since they were less dense than the unmelted rock, rose to form Earth's crust, while the denser residues of the melting sank back downward, altering the mantle's chemical composition in the process.

While about 1,000 times less dense at Pluto's orbit than at Earth's, solar winds carrying protons and electrons, as well as ionized helium and oxygen, gust outward at about 300 to 500 km / s (187 to 311 miles / s).

This orbits places the planet near the inner edge of its host star's habitable zone, where liquid water could exist in liquid form under favorable conditions such as an albedo of 0.52 with an orbital eccentricity of 0.11 and more than 52 percent cloud cover under a sufficiently dense atmosphere of water, carbon dioxide, and molecular nitrogen like Earth's (ESO science release; Pepe et al, 2011; and Kaltenegger et al, 2011 — more below).

Many folks turn up their noses at the thought of eating liver, but when it comes from healthy animals, liver is one of the most nutrient dense foods on earth, providing us with more fat - soluble vitamins A and D than any other food.

One of the most nutrient dense foods on earth, liver from healthy animals provides us with more fat - soluble vitamins A and D than any other food.

Venus has a much higher albedo (reflectivity) than Earth because of its thick cloud cover (and would even have a high albedo without the clouds due to Rayleigh scattering from the dense CO2 atmosphere).

Since CET is about.01 % the area of the Earth, with a far higher level of technology during 1600 - 1800 than over 95 % of the rest of Earth's surface, it should not be surprising that such a tiny region so dense with technology would see global warming in the 17th century.

Mars: thin atmosphere (albeit composed of 95 % CO2)-- > no «greenhouse effect» Earth: denser atmosphere — > some real «atmospheric effect» Venus: 95x denser atmosphere than on Earth — > powerful «atmospheric effect» No atmosphere — no «greenhouse effect»

All that is needed is to add heat carried upwards past the denser atmosphere (and most CO2) by convection and the latent heat from water changing state (the majority of heat transport to the tropopause), the albedo effects of clouds, the inability of long wave «downwelling» (the blue balls) to warm water that makes up 2 / 3rds of the Earth's surface, and that due to huge differences in enthalpy dry air takes far less energy to warm than humid air so temperature is not a measure of atmospheric heat content.

Further, Venus has dense cloud cover and a higher albedo than earth but is much much hotter.

... similarly dense clouds, if very high, though they equally intercept the communication of the earth with the sky, yet being, from their elevated situation, colder than the earth, will radiate to it less heat than they receive from it, and may, consequently, admit of bodies on its surface becoming several degrees colder than the air.
