An atmosphere is a layer of gases that may surround a material body of sufficient The gases are attracted by the mass gravity of the body, and are retained for a longer duration if gravity is high and the atmosphere's temperature is low. Some consist mainly of various gases, and therefore have very deep atmospheres (see planets gas giants). In terms of weight, the effect of Earth's atmosphere is 14.7 PSI (pounds per square inch) or 1 atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
What planet has no atmopshere?
Mercury.
How does the gravity affect the atmopshere?
It (gravity) keeps it (atmosphere) close to Earth.
What is the surface atmosphere of Mercury?
Mercury has only a trace atmopshere of hydrogen that is almost null.
How far is space?
According to NASA, space begins about 100 km above the surface of the earth, where the atmopshere is considered to be null.
What is the troposhere elelavation above the earth?
The troposhere starts on the Earth and continues up in the atmopshere to 17 km (10.6 miles) high.
Do tornadoes change the Earth's atmosphere?
The updraft of a tornado may help somewhat in stabilizing the atmopshere, but the parent thunderstorm normally would do that anyway.
Could you live on dwarf planets?
If you had an enclosed airtight habitat with atmosphere and life support it is technically possible. Dwarf planets are too small to have an atmopshere of their own.
What are the region of the atmosphere is known as 'stratopause'?
The stratopause is not a region of the atmopshere. it is the border between the stratosphere below anjd the mesosphere above. It is located 31 to 34 miles above the surface.
How come the Aurora Lights are never the same?
The Aurora lights are caused by particles thrown out by the sun hitting the earth atmopshere, so they look different because they hit the atmosphere at different points.
How does Charles dickens make the first chapter of Great Expectations memorable?
He creates a dark and dank atmopshere surrounded by death (the churchyard) and danger (the prison ship and escaped prisoners) that oppresses and terrifies the young Pip.
What electromagnetic energy can penetrate the earths atmopshere?
Ultraviolet, visible light, and some radio waves are able to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. However, X-rays and gamma rays are largely absorbed and blocked by the atmosphere.
How can energy conservation help us from global warming?
Through using energy, factories and power plants produce heat and waste. Energy is a limited and finite resource, for the most part. Using energy in the form of fuel (like in cars and other vehicles) creates pollution and gaseous emmissions. These emmissions go into the atmopshere, deplete the ozone layer, pollute the air, and cause global warming. With more energy conservation, less of these harmful pollutants will be produced or put into the atmopshere. This will at least slow down the process of global warming.
