Would the temperature of a planet without an atmosphere be cooler than a planet with one?
That would depend on the planet's proximity to the star (sun) around which it revolves, and the type of atmosphere. In our solar system, atmospheres on solid planets retain and distribute heat, and on gas giants create heat.Examples of Atmospheric EffectsOn Mercury, the lack of an atmosphere means that one side is hellishly hot, while the other side (out of sunlight) is incredibly cold. An actual atmosphere, if it existed, would likely transport heat from one side to the other.On Venus, the composition of the atmosphere (CO2 with high clouds of sulfuric acid) traps the Sun's heat and makes it scorchingly hot on the entire planet.On the Earth, our atmosphere blocks the most intense solar radiation, and transports heat energy to colder regions. But insufficient solar radiation still allows very cold places such as Siberia and Antarctica.On Mars, the lower solar radiation and the thin atmosphere make it colder than it would be with a thicker atmosphere, or clouds like Venus. Unfortunately, Mars is too small to hold much of an atmosphere.On the outer gas giant planets, most of their volume is atmosphere, and the pressure makes them hotter deep inside, even without much heat from the Sun (in any case, sunlight could never be seen from their hidden solid surface).
What is The apparent change in position of an object with respect with respect to a distant background is called?
Parallax id the apparent shift in position of an object with respect to the background due to a shift in view point.
Why do you light the flag at night?
It's just for respect.
How can you tell if a planet is in retrograde?
You observe its motion, with respect to the background stars.
What are all the planets and what are their descriptions?
MercuryThe planet closest to the Sun and the second smallest in the solar system. Mercury is a terrestrial or inner planet, second in density only to Earth, with a rugged, heavily-cratered surface similar in appearance to Earth's Moon. Its rotational period of 58.6 days is two-thirds of its 88-day orbital period, thus, it makes three full axial rotations every two years. Mercury's atmosphere is almost nonexistent; this fact, which produces rapid radiational cooling on its dark side, together with its proximity to the Sun, gives it a temperature range greater than any other planet in the solar system, from 466° to -184°C (870° to -300°F). Because it is so close to the Sun, Mercury is only visible shortly before sunrise or after sunset, and observation is further hindered by the fact that its light must pass obliquely through the lower atmosphere where it is distorted or filtered by dust and pollution.VenusVenus is the brightest object in the sky besides our Sun and the Moon. It is also known as the morning star because at sunrise it appears in the east and and evening star as it appears at sunset when it is in the west. It cannot be seen in the middle of the night.EarthThe only known planet with liquid water and life.MarsThe red planet. The atmosphere there is mostly carbon dioxide (96%) and only about 8% as dense as Earth's. The gravity on the Martian surface is only a little more than a third of Earth's. Mars has ice caps of frozen carbon dioxide and water at the poles.JupiterThe biggest planet in our solar system, with an atmosphere of hydrogen gas compressed to liquid and solid hydrogen deep within. Its "Red Spot" is a vast storm that has lasted hundreds of years.SaturnHas 1,000 rings, and tiny moons that orbit around them.UranusThe third largest planet, but less dense than Neptune. Most of its size is its thick heavy atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, but both it and Neptune have more water, methane and ammonia than do Saturn and Jupiter. Uranus is "turned on its side" with respect to its orbital axis, its "north pole" pointing in toward the Sun.NeptuneHas a colder methane atmosphere, but (like Jupiter) an incredibly hot interior. Its rocky core is larger than Earth.
How do photosynthesis and cellar respiration interact with the atmosphere?
They reverse one another in respect to the atmosphere.
What is the state if atmosphere with respect to moisture?
The state of atmosphere with respect to moisture is associated with humidity. As moisture saturates the air, it encourages a general increase in relative humidity.
What impact would a statocyst that does not function have on an earthworm?
orient with respect to gravity
What is the derivative with respect to x of the integral of a function of x with respect to x?
d/dx ∫ f(x) dx = f(x)
What is the integral of the derivative with respect to x of a function of x divided by that same function of x with respect to x?
∫ f'(x)/f(x) dx = ln(f(x)) + C C is the constant of integration.
Is there a function whose graph is symmetric with respect ot the x axis?
x=y²
What my weather be defined as?
Weather is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy.
Chain rule in calculus?
If y is a differentiable function of u, and u is a differentiable function of x. Then y has a derivative with respect to x given by the formula : dy/dx = dy/du. du/dx This formula is known as the Chain Rule and says, " The rate of change of y with respect to x is the rate of change of y with respect to u multiplied by the rate of change of u with respect to x."
How does governor function in automobile transmission?
it is a speed limiter of engine...control speed respect to load....
What is the integral of the derivative with respect to x of a function of x with respect to x?
∫ d/dx f(x) dx = f(x) + C C is the constant of integration.
What is Swing equation?
Equation describing the relative motion of rotor with respect to stator field as a function of time.
What is a function that is symmetric with respect to the y-axis?
A function that is symmetric with respect to the y-axis is an even function.A function f is an even function if f(-x) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f. that is that the right side of the equation does not change if x is replaced with -x. For example,f(x) = x^2f(-x) = (-x)^2 = x^2
