Fragments fly out from this collision and collide with more air molecules, in a cascade that continues until the energy of the original particle is spread among millions of particles raining down upon the earth.

But as the sun edges toward the horizon, the light must travel increasingly longer paths and is scattered by more air molecules.

Not exact matches

Its elaborate branching structure indicates that it formed in a region with high air pressure, where molecules encounter more resistance and diffuse more slowly through the air.

With 1 kilowatt - hour of energy powering the system, Liu calculated, it could recycle all the carbon dioxide in more than 85,000 liters of air into other molecules that could be turned into fuel.

The increased entropy within the device's memory more than compensates for the decreased entropy in the air molecules.

When more aerosols are added to the air, like from ship exhaust, water molecules have more particles to collect around.

This jet, moving at perhaps 4,000 miles per hour, or more than five times the speed of sound in air, strikes so quickly that water molecules do not have time to flow away from the point of impact.

CO2 molecules will trap heat for centuries or more unless drawn back out of the air.

As sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, air molecules refract the light, scattering blue light more effectively than red, leaving red to fill our planet's shadow.

At below atmospheric pressure, water molecules become a less - dense, lightweight crystal that is more air than molecule — like an icy candyfloss.

Inside a drop of rain, molecules interact more strongly than with the air outside, and so a surface forms.

Water molecules are more attracted to each other than to air molecules and form a spherical shape to maximise contact between water molecules, which leaves as few as possible exposed to the air.

There are so many more variables for a fight scene when your heroine is in tune with the vibrations of sound, the molecules in the air, and the very rotation of the Earth.

Also, this torque will depends on the quality of the air (I mean the less denser, more denser with the oxygen molecules)...?

This allows the air they are breathing in and out to create a «swirl» pattern of air that allows odor molecules to build up the more they sniff.

Hence the denser (more molecules) a substance is, the more energy (heat) it needs, which means it absorbs heat faster then a less denser substance like air for example.

The idea is to supply fuel by recycling the carbon already in the air in CO2 molecules instead of adding more to the atmosphere (and greenhouse effect) by digging up or pumping more ancient deposits of coal and oil.

A warm parcel of air will radiate more than a colder parcel, even at the same 390 ppm of CO2 in the air due to the population of the different rotational and vibrational energy states of the GHGs from collisions with other atmospheric molecules in the LTE limit.

Radon is radioactive, and if it were present at 400 ppm, collisions of neutrons with neighboring air molecules would cause more warming than an equivalent concentration of CO2 by absorbing relatively weak infrared waves / photons.

And so some more do move downwards than upwards, and thus the lower half ends up warmer, because air molecules which move there gain KE at the expense of PE as they move between collisions.

Warming ground warms these inert molecules by Conduction, then they transfer a lot of heat to higher levels of the Troposphere via Convection (carries a lot more energy in air then conduction....

-- Warm air causes more evaporation; air molecules are more active & can hold more moisture High air pressure usually means cooler drier weather.

@Joules Verne: «This is obviously the case since it goes without a shadow of a doubt that a molecule of air in a higher layer has more gravitational energy than a molecule in a lower layer.»

In an isothermal column of air, individual molecules at high altitude have more energy because of gravity.

This is obviously the case since it goes without a shadow of a doubt that a molecule of air in a higher layer has more gravitational energy than a molecule in a lower layer.

Sound travels in air like waves in the fluid liquid water of the ocean, the sound will cause a molecule to vibrate more energetically where it is, it then causes its neighbour to vibrate more energetically and itself will go back to ground state, like a mexican wave the energy of the sound is passed along through the volume of air.

Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare actual climate scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels of ghg has stabilized.

Note that the non-anthropic (or natural) delta13C becomes very slowly more negative (from -6.5 per mil preindustrial to about -7 per mil now) with the replacement of CO2 molecules absorbed by the vegetation by molecules out - gassed from soils by the oxidation of the organic material of plants grown years to centuries before: the delta13C of the air was then slightly less negative.

We assumed only that due to the biological and physical effects the ratio fabsorbed (t) / (total CO2 content of then air) is more or less constant, hence a simple response pulse response exp -LRB-- t / lifetime) is applied to the anthropic time series of coal, gas, oil and cement which have different delta13C As the isotopic signature of (CO2 natural)(t) is slowly decreasing because plants living days or centuries ago are now rotting and degassing and as molecules entered in the ocean decades ago are now in the upwellings after a slow migration along the equal density surface from the high latitudes where those surface are surfacing at depth zero, there are common sense constraints or bounds on the possible evolution of the delta13C of the natural out - gassed CO2 molecules.

As explained below figure 4 - C, the roughly constant lifetime of CO2 molecules in the air is: stock / (yearly absorption) which has been more or less constant since 1960.

When the air is partly saturated (80 % for the boundary layer), more water molecules leave the ocean than the air, but almost as many still go from the air to water.

Conversely volumes of cooled air form areas of high pressure because as their individual molecules are condensing there are more of them in the same room their weight is more concentrated forming areas of high pressure, weighing down on us more heavily because there are more of them.

in some second, it is possible that more molecules actually passed down than up even when the air is blowing upward!

The end result is there's virtually no heating beyond the first few micrometers and the molecules near the surface just keep picking up more and more energy as latent heat until they have enough energy to vaporize and then they leave the surface and quickly convect upwards because water vapor is lighter than air.

To summarize; «As height is gained each square meter of air will contain less «energy per molecule» but will proportionately let more radiation through from below.

Dave Springer says: ``... the molecules near the surface just keep picking up more and more energy as latent heat until they have enough energy to vaporize and then they leave the surface and quickly convect upwards because water vapor is lighter than air.

I can imagine two explanations: 1) Scotty is beaming water molecules into the attic every morning and beaming them back out every afternoon at the exact rates to mimic a capacitance charge - discharge curve; 2) or, more likely but less entertaining, the water molecules are going from the ad and absorbed state in the exposed porous materials into the attic air in morning as the sun hits the roofing materials and drives water vapor out of the sheathing, rafters, open cell foam into the attic air.
