Why is the Earth's atmosphere so different from that of the other terrestrial planets?
The Earth's atmosphere is different from other terrestrial planets because it has a unique balance of gases, including oxygen and nitrogen, that support life. This is due to factors like the presence of liquid water, active geological processes, and the presence of living organisms that have shaped the composition of the atmosphere over billions of years.

Earths magnetic field does not affect what?
Earth's magnetic field does not affect light or sound. It primarily interacts with charged particles such as electrons and protons in Earth's atmosphere and in space.
What transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in earths atmosphere is an example of?
The transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in Earth's atmosphere is an example of convection. As warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, heat is transferred through the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
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.
What 2 forces are acting on a falling object in the earths atmosphere?
The two main forces acting on a falling object in Earth's atmosphere are gravity, which pulls the object downward, and air resistance (also known as drag), which opposes the object's motion and slows it down as it falls.
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
How does the composition of Earths atmosphere different from the composition of the atmosphere of the gas giants planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
Do the terrestrial planets have atmosphere?
Yes. all the terrestrial planets have atmospheres. however, in the same area that there are 10 Billion Billion Atoms in earth's atmosphere, (about 1 cubic in) there are about 10 million atoms in mercury's. maercury has almost no atmosphere, and we don't even know what it is, but both mars and Venus's atmospheres are 95 % CO2, but venus's atmosphere is thick, even thicker than earth's, but mars's is thinner than earths. all the terrestrial planets have some kind of atmosphere.
Is Mars the only planet with soil?
No, the other terrestrial planets have soil, Earth, Mercury and Venus. Earths soil is different in that it contains organic matter.
Are planets found in earths atmosphere?
no they're found in space...
How do terrestrial planets differ from the gas giant?
Terrestrial planets are solid and gaseous planets are made of gas. Gaseous planets are huge and terrestrial planets are small. Gas giants are far from the sun and terrestrial planets are close to the sun.
Is Mars made of gases?
Mars is an inner terrestrial rocky planet. Though there is an atmosphere is is very thin compare to the earths.
Which planets are called earth twins?
Venus and Mars are often called Earth's twins because they are rocky planets like Earth, but they have different environments. Venus has a thick toxic atmosphere, while Mars has a thin atmosphere with extreme temperatures.
How does the compositions of earths atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmospheres of the gas giant planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
How does the composition of earths atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmospheres of the gas giants planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
What are three large reservoirs where carbon is found the biosphere?
The atmosphere, the ocean, and the terrestrial biosphere.Carbon can be found in the earths oceanic and continental crust in different types of stones as well as in the soil from the decay of organic matter.
How are all of the layers of the earths atmosphere different?
Because.
What are two ways Earth and Venus are similar?
• an atmosphere (though with different chemicals in them) • CO2 • a surface (they're terrestrial planets) • mass (though their masses are different) • volcanoes • greenhouse effect • craters
