What is 78 percent of the earths atmosphere?
nitrogen
What is the main advantage of the hubble space telescopes location?
Hubble being in space does not have a problem of seeing which is caused by atmospheric blurring and thus can observe light at more wavelengths. Its only limitation is by diffraction in its optics
Fragment that enters the earths atmosphere but does not hit earth?
Meteor. Meteorites are the ones that do hit Earth.
Can all of the earths energy find its way out of earths atmosphere?
No. Most of Earth's stored energy is within matter and it will not "find its way out of earths atmosphere" on it's own. The only energy that leaves Earth is radiant energy (some heat, light, radio energy, etc) or matter that is thrown out of the atmosphere by cosmic collisions. Some particles and element (e.g. hydrogen) may also be lost to space as Earth orbits our sun.
How do meteors orbit the sun?
Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are to be found/seen in the Earth's atmosphere burning up. Before they enter the Earths atmosphere they are called meteoroids and if they land on Earth they are called meteorites.
What can scientist find out about earth with a seismometer?
Earths atmosphere
Is there a telescope that can see beyond earths atmosphere?
Yes. In fact, there are even telescopes that are stationed already in space.
What is the name of the process used by the telescopes on earth that allowed them to overcome the effect of the atmosphere blurring caused by the earths atmosphere?
Adaptive Optics/AO.
What type of scientist study objects beyond the earths atmosphere?
Biologist
What gas do scientist think was missing from earths early atmosphere?
Methane gas
What gas do some scientist think was missing from earths atmosphere?
Methane gas
What does gas do to some scientist think was missing from earths early atmosphere?
oxygen
Why do astronomers put telescopes in space?
The Earth's atmosphere is about 120 miles thick and anything we see from the surface of the Earth is distorted by the water vapor and debris that is in the air. If you are in space you do not have this distortion. The Hubble Telescope is a good example of space based telescopes.Scientists have put telescopes in space to avoid interference by the atmosphere.SOURCE:-Page 560 of Holt Science & Technology Earth Science-Chapter 18-Studying Space-Section 2- Telescopes-Optical Telescopes in Space
Because radio waves can pass freely through earths atmosphere what are useful under most weather conditions?
radio telescopes
Why is the hubble space telescopes considered the eye in the sky?
The atmosphere of earth tends to distort images from space. Since Hubble operates outside earths atmosphere, the images it can produce are much more clear.
What does space telescope mean?
This usually refers to a telescope that is actually located outside of the earths atmosphere. as opposed to a telescope designed to view outer space (which is all telescopes to my knowledge).
Where did the gases in the earths atmosphere come from?
Scientist theorize that bacteria with chlorophyll in them slowly but surely began to multiply. And as they did, they photosynthesized enough to create an entire atmosphere. (as you know oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis)
