Atmospheric Sciences

No. The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, help to trap heat within Earth's atmosphere. This effect has been in place for as long as Earth has had an atmosphere and is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the planet would freeze over.

Global warming is primarily the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by extra geenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere.

The dew point is the temperature at which water will condense out of the

air. If the dew point were above the temperature, that would mean that some

of the water vapor in the air should have already condensed out. In such a

situation, the excess water WOULD condense out, lowering the amount of water

vapor and consequently the dew point.

An ice block mixed with rocks is commonly referred to as a glacier. Glaciers form when compacted snow turns into ice over time, and they can incorporate rocks and debris as they move and erode the landscape.

The percentage of oxygen in air remains fairly constant on a global scale but varies considerably on a local scale. The concentration of oxygen in your lungs is much different as you inhale than when you exhale for example. The concentration of oxygen entering your car's engine is much different than the concentration in the exhaust from that same engine.

The percentage remains fairly constant on a macroscopic scale because of the equilibrium established by the uptake by plants of the carbon dioxide and subsequent release of oxygen through photosynthesis. There is also a substantial amount of oxygen dissolved into the oceans of the Earth which remains in equilibrium with the oxygen in the air. Just based on the scale, it would take an enormous amount of oxygen addition or removal from the atmosphere to make a significant change in the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere. Such a change would take a very long time to accomplish. In truth, the composition of the atmosphere millions of years ago was different than now - with noticeably higher levels at times and lower levels at other times. It took millions of years for the changes to occur however.

An anemometer measures wind speed. It usually consists of a set of cups that rotate in the wind, and the speed of rotation is used to determine the wind speed.

The mesosphere primarily consists of neutral gases such as molecular nitrogen (N2) and molecular oxygen (O2). Other minor components include trace amounts of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone. The density of these gases decreases with increasing altitude in the mesosphere.

Short term conditions in the atmosphere refer to weather phenomena like temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind that can change quickly and are typically observed over hours to days. These conditions play a significant role in daily weather patterns and impact our daily activities and environments. Tracking these short-term conditions is essential for weather forecasting and planning.

The main gases in the Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 21%), argon (about 0.9%), and trace amounts of carbon dioxide, neon, helium, and other gases. Water vapor is also an important component of the atmosphere, but its concentration varies widely depending on location and weather conditions.

Exosphere: from 500 - 1000 km (300 - 600 mi) up to 10,000 km (6,000 mi), free-moving particles that may migrate into and out of the magnetosphere or the solar wind.

* Ionosphere: is the part of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation. It plays an important part in atmospheric electricity and forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere. It has practical importance because, among other functions, it influences radio propagation to distant places on the Earth. It is located in the thermosphere and is responsible for auroras.

* Thermosphere: from 80 - 85 km (265,000 - 285,000 ft) to 640+ km (400+ mi), temperature increasing with height.

* Mesosphere: From the Greek word "μέσος" meaning middle. The mesosphere extends from about 50 km (160,000 ft) to the range of 80 to 85 km (265,000 - 285,000 ft), temperature decreasing with height. This is also where most meteors burn up when entering the atmosphere.

* Stratosphere: From the Latin word "stratus" meaning a spreading out. The stratosphere extends from the troposphere's 7 to 17 km (23,000 - 60,000 ft) range to about 50 km (160,000 ft). Temperature increases with height. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, the part of the Earth's atmosphere which contains relatively high concentrations of ozone. "Relatively high" means a few parts per million-much higher than the concentrations in the lower atmosphere but still small compared to the main components of the atmosphere. It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 15 to 35 km (50,000 - 115,000 ft) above Earth's surface, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically.

tropopause boundary

* Troposphere: From the Greek word "τρέπω" meaning to turn or change. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere; it begins at the surface and extends to between 7 km (23,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (60,000 ft) at the equator, with some variation due to weather factors. The troposphere has a great deal of vertical mixing due to solar heating at the surface. This heating warms air masses, which makes them less dense so they rise. When an air mass rises the pressure upon it decreases so it expands, doing work against the opposing pressure of the surrounding air. To do work is to expend energy, so the temperature of the air mass decreases. As the temperature decreases, water vapor in the air mass may condense or solidify, releasing latent heat that further uplifts the air mass. This process determines the maximum rate of decline of temperature with height, called the adiabatic lapse rate. It contains roughly 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere. 50% of the total mass of the atmosphere is located in the lower 5 km of the troposphere.

Yes, Jupiter has a thick atmosphere made up mainly of hydrogen and helium, with traces of other gases like methane and ammonia. This atmosphere is known for its colorful bands and swirling storms, with the most famous being the Great Red Spot.

Oxygen makes up 21% of the Earths atmosphere.

Auroras are the brilliant light displays that occur in the ionosphere. They are caused by solar particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, leading to colorful displays of light in the sky near the poles.

True. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and contains approximately 75-80% of the total mass of the atmosphere.

Burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat and contribute to global warming and climate change.

Greece island delos is the lightest place on erth, that's why the acent Greeks make there the temple of god apolonas whitch is the god of the sun according the greek history.

recearce by the university of Harvard said that the lightest place on erth is DELOS THE HOUSE OF APOLONAS

No, the nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere did not come from Venus. Nitrogen has been on Earth since its formation billions of years ago, created through processes like volcanic outgassing and reactions involving ammonia and other nitrogen-containing compounds. Venus and Earth have different evolutionary histories and compositions.

वायुमंडल का महत्व बहुत अधिक है क्योंकि यह हमारी पृथ्वी के जीवन के लिए आवश्यक है। वायुमंडल में ऑक्सीजन, नाइट्रोजन, कार्बन डाइऑक्साइड जैसे तत्व होते हैं जो हमें साँस लेने की सुविधा प्रदान करते हैं। इसके बिना हमारे प्राणी और पौधों का जीवन संभव नहीं है।

Over a long period of time, the atmosphere can experience changes such as fluctuations in temperature, alterations in precipitation patterns, shifts in wind patterns, and variations in the concentration of greenhouse gases. These changes can result in long-term trends like global warming, altered weather patterns, and changes in climate zones. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have also contributed to these shifts in the atmospheric conditions over time.

rain falls then wind blows then some really hot sun the rain again and wind and then really hot sun and that's how you get a double rainbow

"Anomia" is a disorder that affects the ability to recall words. It is caused by various factors such as head injuries, strokes, or other neurological conditions. If you meant "ammonia," it is a naturally occurring compound in our atmosphere produced by natural processes and human activities like agriculture and industry.

An atmospheric tank operates at ambient pressure (0 psi) and is not pressurized, while a pressure tank is designed to maintain pressure above ambient levels (greater than 0 psi), often used for storing liquids or gases under pressure. Pressure tanks are capable of storing more volume due to the internal pressure.

A stream of particles produced by the corona is known as the solar wind. It consists of charged particles, such as electrons and protons, that are continuously emitted from the Sun's outer atmosphere. These particles can interact with the Earth's magnetic field and cause phenomena like auroras.

The layers of the Earth's atmosphere, from closest to farthest from the surface, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has unique characteristics and plays a specific role in the Earth's atmosphere.

In the thermosphere, you can find the International Space Station orbiting Earth, as well as satellites and other spacecraft. This layer of the atmosphere is known for its high temperatures and low density of gas molecules. It plays a crucial role in the transmission of radio signals and the interactions with solar radiation.
