Which atmospheric layer is dense?
The troposphere is the closest to the Earth and most dense atmospheric layer
What happens to water closest to the moon?
Water on the surface of the moon will rapidly turn to water vapor as there is no atmospheric pressure on the moon. The vapor will then escape the moon's gravity which is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.
How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
Which atmospheric layer is the longest distance from Earth?
stratosphere
Telescope is most useful in which branch of the earth sciences?
There are various branches of Earth science - geology, physical geography, geophysics, soil science, ecology, hydrology, glaciology, and the atmospheric sciences. The branch of Earth science that would benefit most from the use of a telescope would most likely be meteorology or atmospheric chemistry, of the Atmospheric branch of Earth science.
What is the main cause of tectonic plate motion?
Escape of thermal energy form the Earth's core.
Suggest how gases escape from the Earth's crust?
Thermal energy causes some of the molecules at the outer edge of the Earth's atmosphere have their velocity increased to the point where they can escape from the planets gravity. T;)
Why the earth is not thermal equilibrium with the sun?
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
Why is earth not in thermal equilibrium with the sun?
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
How do atmospheric pressure zones and ocean currents affect earth's energy balance?
Warm temp create area of low atmospheric pressure on the Earth's surface while area of high pressure r generated when temp r relatively cold. Once established, the thermal gradient then develops a flow of air that goes from high 2 low pressure
What is the earth's atmospheric layers is the closest to the earth?
The troposphere.
What is earth's atmospheric layers is the closest to the earth?
The troposphere.
What is the escape speed from the surface of the earth?
The escape speed from the surface of the earth, or the "escape velocity" from the earth is about 11.2km/s.
What is Neptune's atmospheric pressure compared to earth's atmospheric pressure?
42% higher
When was Escape from Earth created?
Escape from Earth was created in 2005.
The field of tracking earth's larger atmospheric systems?
The field of climatology focus on Earth's larger atmospheric systems and the scientists who study the earths larger atmospheric systems are climatologists
What are conditions?
Atmospheric condtions are conditions of how hot or cold something is, you might of heard people talking about Earth's atmospheric conditions soo its pratically describing Earth's atmospheric conditions.
