Sentences with phrase «planet with an atmosphere»

That is why established science does not list the radiative features of constituent gases as one of the factors that influence the equilibrium temperature of planets with atmospheres.

However, Earth is not the only planet with an atmosphere and magnetic field capable of putting on a show.

That means we want to find planets with atmospheres, with gravity similar to Earth's.

The «all gases are greenhouse» theory can be tested quantitatively, eg as shown in Chapter 2A, with the Greenhouse Effect on the rocky planets with an atmosphere Venus, Earth and Mars.

Planets with atmospheres stabilise their surface temperatures at a level dependent upon the density of the atmosphere leaving the main variation in planetary temperature dependent on variations in the energy coming in from the local star.

Hiramatsu: Researchers are working on the researches on the quantity of planets with atmospheres and the analysis of atmospheric components, using optical and infrared telescopes, not radio telescopes like ALMA.

It takes rocket science to launch and fly spacecraft to faraway planets and moons, but a deep understanding of how materials perform under extreme conditions is also needed to enter and land on planets with atmospheres.

The temperature of the Earth's surface is, quite reasonably thought to be higher than that of a comparable rocky planet with no atmosphere by about 30C.

The more we learn about the universe, the less likely it seems that Earth is the only planet with an atmosphere that's conducive to supporting life.

«If you want to understand these planets with atmospheres,» Glaze says, «you have to go into those atmospheres.»

Now he is looking for something far more familiar: a smallish rocky planet with an atmosphere that bears the chemical imprint of life, like the abundant (and otherwise inexplicable) oxygen that plants pump into our own air.

Just as every planet has a gravity field, it is believed that every planet with an atmosphere is also surrounded by a weak electric field.

Planets with atmospheres are able to warp starlight in another way: while the body of the planet blocks a big chunk of starlight as it crosses in front of its host star, the planet's thin, enveloping atmosphere absorbs starlight at particular colors, or wavelengths.

I explained why one needs to consider the entire mass of the atmosphere when accounting for the additional warmth retained by planets with atmospheres.

It couldn't be quite as fast as on a planet with no atmosphere because there would also be non radiative energy exchanges between the GHGs and the ground via conduction and convection.

1) Planets with atmospheres are seen to be warmer at the surface than they otherwise would be.

Intrinsic to the whole scenario is the fact that the surface temperature of a planet with an atmosphere is fixed by mass, gravity and insolation alone so that changes in the composition of the atmosphere can have no effect.

It is applicable to any planet with an atmosphere.

Therefore, a distant observer could distinguish between a planet with no atmosphere, and one with an atmosphere with GHGs and, potentially, could determine the energy flows within the system based on the outgoing spectrum.

It would appear all planets with an atmosphere exhibit a «greenhouse effect» which is purely a function of solar energy and gravity.

The TOA is the radiating «surface» on a planet with an atmosphere, which is in radiative equilibrium with the Sun at 255K.

Maybe we shouldn't fixate on only one possible path to a low - carbon future, but rather accelerate progress along all the avenues (from nuclear and clean coal to solar and efficiency) that will get us to the same place — a planet with an atmosphere that remains hospitable.

Clearly the surface can not be taken as the ground because there is an atmosphere between the ground and space and the S - B Law does not apply to a planet with an atmosphere.

4) That surface temperature will necessarily be different from the temperature obtained from the S - B Law because the S - B Law applies only to planets without atmospheres and the Ideal Gas Law applies specifically to planets with atmospheres.

It is known that a planet with an atmosphere does not have a surface temperature as predicted from the S - B Law, it is always warmer.

3) Thus with the help of the term nR the surface temperature of a planet with an atmosphere can be determined from the strength of the gravitational field and the mass of the atmosphere which together produce pressure at the surface (P), the level of solar input which produces temperature (T) and the volume of the atmosphere (V)

It is the Ideal Gas Law which determines the surface temperature for a planet with an atmosphere and not the S - B Law.
