Does the size of the planet affect its atmosphere?
Yes
What 2 factors would affect how thick a planet's atmosphere is?
The strength of the planet's gravitational field and exposure to solar wind.
What is the atmosphere of the planet called Ceres?
Ceres is not a planet; it is a dwarf planet. It does not have an atmosphere.
How does Saturn atmosphere affect the planet?
The atmosphere affects Saturn in many ways. One way that it affects it is because it affects the wind variations on the planet. Another way that it affects the planet is that it cause the "Green House Effect". The "Green House Effect" is when heat is trapped in something. If you think of a green house it is all glass to let is heat but not let the heat out. With a planet the planet gets heat from the sun and then when the planet starts to cool off the atmosphere holds the heat in. That is how an atmosphere can effect the planet.
How does the amount of gravity on a planet affect the thickness of the atmosphere?
It is not a linear relation but, the larger the planet, the greater the gravity, the more it is able to attract and keep.
Does the size of the planet affect its atmosphere?
Yes
How. How does the biosphere affect the atmosphere?
it warms up the planet
How does the biosphere affect the atmosphere?
it warms up the planet
How does the atmosphere affect your planet?
if we didn't have an atmosphere during the day our planet would be very hot and during the night our planet would be very cold
What chemicals are in Uranus that makes it green?
The green color is the result of the light absorption in methane from the planet atmosphere.
What do gases affect?
Greenhouse gases affect the temperature of the atmosphere. They capture the sun's heat and warm the planet.
What 2 factors would affect how thick a planet's atmosphere is?
The strength of the planet's gravitational field and exposure to solar wind.
What planet has an atmosphere with an extreme green house affect?
Venus has an estreme greenhouse effect.
Why is wind energy better for the planet?
Wind Energy does not affect the atmosphere. Fossil Fuels create smog and smoke which damages the atmosphere.
What best explains how greenhouse gases affect earth?
they trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet
Reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent some?
The sun's total energy package. There are about 1355 watts hitting each meter of atmosphere. Roughly 375 watts reach our planet. This amount varies greatly on weather conditions. Water vapor (clouds) provide most of the feedback loop.It is believed that man's contribution of 0.28% of the total green houses gases may have some affect on the current warming. Science suggests (and data supports) that this may well not be the issue. While man has been steadily increasing his contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere (now reaching 6% of total CO2 production and 0.28% of total GHG) we are seeing a steady decline in temperature worldwide. The crest seems to have been in 1998. The start point of this warming was about 6000 years ago. Of the 11 degrees (C) of warming we have verified, only 0.2 has occurred since man started using fuel.Reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent some solar radiation from reaching the earth's surface.
What Is the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere?
The terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere is Mercury. Its thin atmosphere consists mainly of trace amounts of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium, and is not enough to be considered a true atmosphere.
