Sentences with phrase «surface temperature of the planet»

However, the average surface temperature of the planet seems to have increased far more slowly over this period than it did over the previous decades.

«We will have the technology to set the mean surface temperature of the planet at the temperature we want,» he promises.

There is no more need to fake temperature & CO2 data, because new science shows that no physical mechanism exists in reality that can alter the average surface temperature of a planet by changing the planet's atmospheric composition.

It keeps the average surface temperature of the planet at 288 degrees kelvin (15 degrees Celsius or 59 degrees Fahrenheit).

It is well established that human - caused increases in greenhouse gasses are working to increase the average surface temperature of the planet on long timescales1.

notes about the most distant object in the solar system and the surface temperatures of the planets from RGO

However, the surface temperature of a planet is directly related to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

For example, «Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, along with a handful of other gases, plays a central role in determining the average surface temperature of our planet.

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.

This essay is an attempt to link real world observations (the failure of surface temperatures to rise in tandem with atmospheric CO2) to basic physics and thereby show why the radiative characteristics of Greenhouse Gases can not increase the surface temperature of a planet when atmospheric mass, the strength of the gravitational field and the power of insolation at the top of the atmosphere remain the same.

A facile illustration of the effects of atmospheric pressure on the surface temperatures of a planet like Earth can be found in the Grand Canyon, Southwestern U.S.. There, the North Rim is about 1,000 feet (305 meters) higher in elevation than the South Rim.

It is no surprise there is significant disagreement over the amount of warming estimated — as James Hansen and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies explain7, there is no clear definition of what we mean by absolute surface air temperature and wide variation in the estimated mean surface temperature of the planet.

In this article, Carbon Brief explains why last year proved to be so remarkable across the oceans, atmosphere, cryosphere and surface temperature of the planet.

Therefore the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere does determine the surface temperature of the planet (amongst other effects like albedo).

If atmospheric carbon doesn't cause the surface temperature of planets to rise, why is Venus hotter than Mercury even though it's farther from the sun?

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)
