earth to be dispersed in space.
Crysius continues to be beneficial to his people, and he, a ray of warmth, is dependable; but to say that he is faithful is no more appropriate than to say of the

This is the practice of making the
Earth more reflective, so that more of the
sun's radiation bounces away instead of
warming the planet.
Greenhouse gases add those watts by acting as a blanket, trapping the
sun's heat; they have
warmed Earth by roughly 0.75 degree Celsius over the last century.
But for planetary scientists, Jupiter's most distinctive mystery may be what's called the «energy crisis» of its upper atmosphere: how do temperatures average about as
warm as
Earth's even though the enormous planet is more than fives times further away from the
sun?
A 13th century Norwegian royal treatise called The King's Mirror lauds Greenland's suitability for farming: The
sun has «sufficient strength, where the ground is free from ice, to
warm the soil so that the
earth yields good and fragrant grass.»
For example, the ice ages during the last several million years — and the
warmer periods in between — appear to have been triggered by no more than a different seasonal and latitudinal distribution of the solar energy absorbed by the
Earth, not by a change in output from the
sun.
To be in the star's habitable zone, where the temperature is
warm enough for liquid water, a planet would have to be much closer to its star than
Earth is to the
Sun.
A few nerve - wracking hours will follow for scientists and controllers on the ground, as the spacecraft's heaters
warm up its systems, its startrackers get a fix, it turns its solar arrays towards the
sun, and, finally, points its communications antenna toward
Earth.
According to the accepted view, the formation of the
Earth released vast amounts of water vapour and carbon dioxide, which formed a thick atmosphere and caused strong greenhouse
warming at a time when the
Sun was 15 to 20 per cent fainter than today.
As long as the
Sun warms the surface of the
earth non-uniformly, the atmospheric heat engine will continue to drive the general circulation.
On
Earth, temperature inversion occurs because ozone in the stratosphere absorbs much of the
sun's ultraviolet radiation, preventing it from reaching the surface, protecting the biosphere, and therefore
warming the stratosphere instead.
Wet
Earth Erin Wayman's article «Faint young
sun» (SN: 5/4/13, p. 30), about how the early
Earth stayed
warm enough for liquid water, made me wonder about the effect of the temperature of the planet itself.
Earth's storm clouds are stopped about 20 kilometres up by a layer of
warm air heated by ozone, which absorbs the
sun's ultraviolet rays.
The faint
sun could have kept early
Earth warm with the help of a thick blanket of greenhouse gases.
An analysis of a fossilised rain shower suggests air density on early

But the change from 2004 to 2007 in the
sun's output of visible light, and the attendant
