Why do gases escape Mercury easily?
The solar winds from the Sun, because Mercury is so close, blow the atmosphere away. Therefore, all of the gases it has are from the Sun because the solar winds are constantly replacing Mercury's atmosphere.
Why does Neptune have the worst weather in the solar system?
because it has extreme storms, and winds greater than hurricanes, due to its cold atmosphere.
What are global winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
What are two possibLe reason why the atmosphere on Mars is so thin?
It may have gradually lost its atmosphere to the solar winds or a body or bodies that collided with mars
Which winds are not planetary winds?
Planetary winds are any winds that occur because of solar radiation. They are in direct correlation to the rotation of the earth. Planetary winds do not blow directly north or south.
Where are people most affected by solar winds?

What part of the sun sends out solar winds?
Solar winds are sent out from the upper atmosphere of the sun.
Why do scientists want to predict solar winds in Earth's atmosphere?
Scientists want to predict solar winds in Earth's atmosphere to help them track geomagnetic storms. Geomagnetic storms can disrupt the Earth's magnetosphere.
How come the moon has less oxygen than earth?
Because unlike Earth, the moon lacks an atmosphere. It also lacks an electromagnetic shield. Because of this any atmosphere on the moon would over time be blown away by solar winds. This doesn't happen to earth because our electromagnetic field generally protects us from solar winds.
Does the earth's atmosphere revolve with it?
The atmosphere is effected by the rotation of the earth, its magnetic field, and solar winds primarily.
Why does Neptune have the worst weather in the solar system?
because it has extreme storms, and winds greater than hurricanes, due to its cold atmosphere.
What are winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
The earth's two kinds of protection against solar winds are?
its atmosphere and magnetic field
What are global winds affected by?

Which term refers to a natural light show caused by the effects of solar winds in the earth's atmosphere?
aurora
What is the cause of winds on Mars?
