Why can elements produced in the sun but not in the earth atmosphere?
The earth's atmosphere is not hot enough for thermonuclear fusion to take place.
What is warmest layer in atmosphere?
The thermosphere (above 80 km above the Earth's surface) is the hottest layer. The temperature as high as thousands of degrees as the few molecules that are present in the thermosphere receive large amounts of energy from the Sun. However, it would actually feel very cold as very few molecules will hit our skin and transfer enough energy make us feel the heat..
Force required to break from Earths atmosphere?
To be able to escape earth's atmosphere you need to achieve a velocity that is great enough to achieve sufficient energy to escape the earth's gravitational field strength.
Does the moon have an atomsphere?
We consider the Moon to have no atmosphere. There are traces of radon and a few other things resulting from the out-gassing of rock on the surface, but there just isn't enough to really answer this question in the affirmative. The reason the Moon has no atmosphere is that it's gravity is too slight to "hang on to one"
Why is there so little atmosphere on the moon?
Because it does not have enough gravity to "hold" onto an atmosphere.
What happened to the water that was lost mass during the boiling prosses?
The molecules have enough energy during boiling to leave the attractive forces of the liquid molecules and move into the gas phase molecules, becoming dispersed within the atmosphere with which the liquid is touching.
When water boils some of its molecules have enough what to overcome the attraction of neighboring molecules?
kinetic energy
How does the atmosphere keep oxygen inside?
Inside what? Oxygen is part of the atmosphere. The thermal velocity of its molecules are insufficient to escape earth's gravity (unlike hydrogen molecules which are fast enough).
What is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state?
Evaporation is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state.
What is the molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gas?
vaporization
In a liquid the molecules have enough............ to ........... over each other.?
kinetic energy, slide
Are the molecules of a solid moving?
Yes, but the movement is more of a vibration of the molecules. They don't have enough energy for any greater movement.
Why is release of energy more in aerobic respiration?
This releases enough energy to produce up to 38 ATP molecules.
What is the relationship between moons surface gravity lack of an atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
Does the collision of molecules create heat?
The number of collisions with enough energy to react increases.
Why can elements produced in the sun but not in the earth atmosphere?
The earth's atmosphere is not hot enough for thermonuclear fusion to take place.
Why some molecules evaporate from other molecules in terms of energies?
Some molecules randomly move faster than others. In terms of energy, that means the fastest molecules have enough kinetic energy to escape from the gas (if such a molecule is at the surface). Note that as a result, the average energy of the remaining molecules in the liquid will decrease. The molecules that escape will also have a lower speed (and temperature), since part of their energy is lost to overcome the potential energy hill.
