The Moon is greatly unlike Earth because Earth is surrounded by an atmosphere that is made up of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, and oxygen, which stands as the direct reason for Earth's ability to have life. The Earth also has dimensions that the Moon does not that include the ionosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and the troposphere. In the troposphere namely, the method of convection occurs, which pushes hot air from the ground up and pulls cold air down from the skies. Also, our planet has another aspect that the Moon does not and that is called the greenhouse effect, which essentially the partial trapping of solar radiation by a planetary atmosphere. Because of our extra amenities that allows for us to maintain life on Earth, we can compare it to the Moon, which does not have the same composition as us and therefore, is more likely to face drastic temperature changes.
What else can I help you with?
Which planet's temperature ranges from -13c to 37c?
I'm not exactly sure, but it could be Pluto. Like I said, not completely sure if I'm correct.
How cold would a space shuttle get in space?
The Shuttle experienced temperature swings between the day/night terminator of between +140° C and -140° C. All Earth orbital satellites are also tested to those temperature extremes prior to launch.
Does the sun effect the earth's core temperature?
No. Earth's core temperature is determined by processes within the Earth.
What is one way in which earth and the moon contrast?
One way in which Earth and the Moon contrast is in their size. Earth is significantly larger than the Moon, both in terms of diameter and mass. This size contrast is also reflected in their gravitational forces and atmospheres.
What causes temperature extremes?
Weather is notoriously unpredictable, which is because it is influenced by the shape and position of mountains, and by oceans and ocean currents, and by wind patterns relating to the rotation of the Earth, and by the shifting angle at which a given location faces the sun as the Earth moves in its annual orbit, and by patterns of ice and glaciers, and by the inertial effect of previous weather patterms, as well as by greenhouse gases. The system is so difficult to predict that it is described mathematically as "chaotic". So, out of this chaos will come a certain amount of temperature extremes. If current concerns about global warming are valid, those extremes are going to tend toward extreme heat in the future, rather than extreme cold.
If the earth did not have an atmosphere temperature extremes between day and night?
Without an atmosphere, there would be significant temperature extremes between day and night. During the day, the surface would become very hot due to direct sunlight, while at night, temperatures would drop rapidly without the atmosphere to trap heat. This difference is significant because the atmosphere helps regulate temperature by trapping heat and distributing it around the planet.
Which is hotter the sun or the earth?
The Sun is much much hotter than the Earth. The Sun's surface temperature is approximately 5,800 K. The surface temperature of the Earth, by contrast, rarely exceeds 331ºK
What describes what earth undergoes all the time?
Earth undergoes weathering all the time!!!
What is earth's upper atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night (the diurnal temperature variation).
How much hotter is the sun than the earth?
The highest temperature on the Earth was in Death Valley, on July 10, 1913, reaching a temperature of 134F, or 56.7C. The sun, by contrast, is far hotter, being at a temperature of 9,941F, or 5,505C. That is a difference of 9,807F and 5,448.3C.
Mantle layer with more convection Mantle layer with less convection?
The mantle layer with more convection is the upper mantle, which has a higher temperature and undergoes vigorous convection currents. In contrast, the lower mantle has less convection due to its higher pressure and lower temperature, leading to slower convective movement.
Why is there a sky?
Also called "atmosphere", which is a layer of gases held in place by the Earth's gravity, that protects life by absorbing ultraviolet radiation, warming the surface through heat retention, and reducing temperature extremes to sustain all life on Earth.
Which planet's temperature ranges from -13c to 37c?
I'm not exactly sure, but it could be Pluto. Like I said, not completely sure if I'm correct.
How does the earth atmosphere protect humans?
many reasons, one being that it regulates earth's temperature and makes it so humans can live on it, also it blocks out harmful radiation from the sun. without and atmosphere, the human race would be extinct
How cold would a space shuttle get in space?
The Shuttle experienced temperature swings between the day/night terminator of between +140° C and -140° C. All Earth orbital satellites are also tested to those temperature extremes prior to launch.
Why do the central plains have the extremes of temperature?
Places in the centre of landmasses tend to have greater extremes of temperature. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, Moscow often has the highest summer temperature and the lowest winter one. The reason is that bodies of water retain their temperature longer than solid earth does. The sea heats up slowly in spring but stays warmer into autumn than the land does. This means that coastal areas are warmed and cooled slowly, while areas a long way inland cool and warm up more rapidly.
What processes that have been present in earth's past are still continuing?
Volcanic activity; plate movement; geothermal energy; erosion; sedimentation; wind, flooding, temperature extremes; radiation; water; uplift; earthquakes; glacial movements . . .
