Why is it important that a satellite be above Earths atmosphere?
Please remember that close to Earth's surface, a satellite must move at a speed of about 7900 meters/second. If it is inside the Earth's atmosphere, the force of friction will make the satellite lose energy. As a result, it will soon crash to the Earth's surface.
Did outer planets lose the light gases in their atmosphere?
no.
How and why did mars lose its atmosphere?
Mars had a molten core that eventually cooled. Causing it to loose its magnetic field allowing solar winds and radiation to "wipe out" its atmosphere.
What caused Mars' atmosphere to decinagrate and lose all its liquid water?
As Mars has cooled, its core has solidified and its geodynamo stopped. The loss of Mars' magnetic field allowed more solar energy to reach the surface. That solar radiation heat dissipated the surface water and atmosphere. Also, because Mars' gravitational field is not as strong as earth's, it was much easier for atoms and molecules at the top of the atmosphere to escape to space. Over millions of years this process led to the loss of most of Mars' atmosphere.
What process of losing their outer layer causes stars to lose?
luminosity or brightness

What is the word for when a space rocket re enters the earths atmosphere like when they lose radio contact and it shakes the rocket?
It's called Reentry.
What causes hurricane to lose energy when it moves to land?
it sops eating energy drinks and chocolate bars
What causes the particles of a substance to lose thermal energy?
The particles in a substance lose thermal energy as the temperature decreases, because the particles are moving and vibrating less.
When energy is removed what does the decrease in energy causes the particles in that state to do?
When energy is removed, the particles involved lose kinetic energy-they slow down.
What causes a hurricane to lose energy when it move onto land?
it sops eating energy drinks and chocolate bars
What are some ways people can effect earths energy budget?
This is straight from the book: 1.Solar radiation hits Earth and it's atmosphere 2.Earth loses energy by reflection of sunlight from its surface and from clouds, dust, and air molecules in the atmosphere 3.Earth's surface, clouds, and atmosphere lose infrared radiation(heat) to space 4.Greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide, let sunlight in but keep infrared radiation from escaping to space
What happens when molecules lose energy?
They get colder.
Do meteors or asteroids burn up before they hit the earths surface?
Comets rarely come in to the atmosphere at all. On those occasions when a comet does collide with the Earth, it will pass all the way through the atmosphere and hit the surface within a second or two, causing massive destruction. So it's probably just as well that it hardly ever happens.
Why a simple pendulum will not swing continuously in air?
Because of the air resistance which causes the pendulum to gradually lose energy.
What causes a chemical bond to?
Bonding occurs when atoms gain,lose,or share electrons in their outer energy level.
Do supplements help lose weight like stacker?
No. Only eating less causes you to lose weight. Stacker is not even supposed to do that - its an "energy drink" ... which means sugar.
