Planets and moons within the solar system are different in terms of composition, geologic activity, interior structure, magnetic field, and atmospheres. We can deduce each of these properties through routine astronomical observations, spectroscopic/remote observations, laws of physics, solar system modeling as well as direct sampling. Given that many economists and government officials object to using our resources to visit other objects physically, by studying our solar system we will continue…
How has our atmosphere changed over time? Our atmosphere has changed vigorously over time. Anyway, for the past 200 million years, the atmosphere has remained the same generally. Scientists theorize that Earth’s early atmosphere was mostly created by the volcanic activity back then; they say that the volcanic activity was very intense for the first billion years on Earth. They also think that the composition of the early atmosphere was as the following: - Mainly carbon dioxide gas - Very…
Astronomers and scientists believe that Venus once had water, but due to the atmosphere and heat it evaporated the water. Then there is Mars, which scientists believe held life at one point in time. Due to the canals, which was used as evidence to prove at one point there was intelligent life on Mars to make such things. While Mars may have been able to support life in the past there is no new evidence that it holds life now or that it will in the future. Mars’ atmosphere is 1% as dense as…
On a more preferable note, Earth has had moderate atmosphere primarily, hence warm enough for abundant liquid water and large enough gravity to shun losing it. However, the Faint–Young Sun Paradox [02] indicates that our sun has been 25-30% dimmer during the stellar evolution period than its luminosity or intensity today. This refutes Earth having a moderate atmosphere earlier as a dimmer sun would have frozen its surface. But the evidence show that Earth has not been frozen since 4 billion…
to develop. The free floating organisms would only be able to exist at the top of the clouds since the atmospheric pressure is more intense than Earths. The free floating organisms would have to be resistant to solar radiation though because the atmosphere is chaotic. Lastly the gravitational compression has heated areas close to the core over 18,000 degree Fahrenheit. With the information today that we have on Jupiter it cannot support life. Europa one of Jupiter’s moons is one of the best…
Everything that we do on this planet can affect how we will live in the present and future. Throughout the years of developing a better world, we have also destroyed it in the process. As we continue to do our ways of inducing climate change, the outcome of a larger and a lot more dangerous disasters is inevitable. The world we may live in may change for the worst. Climate change is a way of understanding how molecules can affect other molecules differently in an environment. This change can…
remark on global warming; however, this very quote exemplifies the misunderstanding of many opponents of anthropogenic climate change. By definition, weather is the study of short-term conditions of the atmosphere and climate is the study of long-term conditions, patterns, and behaviors of the atmosphere, which may or may not affect a region’s local weather. Weather will always have dramatic and sudden changes which are strange and unusual to a particular region, and people are inclined to use…
many paintings contained Christian imagery and connotations, whether outright or implied. Two paintings during this time that illustrate several concepts and depictions are Sacred and Profane Love by Titian (or Tiziano in Italian) and Velazquez’s Venus with Her Mirror. These two paintings include imagery that is both secular and non-secular, but one leans more toward one side of the spectrum than the other. This paper will define some key terms used in the aforementioned paintings, analyze the…
arrival excites the children and makes them so happy. Ray Bradbury also uses The writing skill of descriptive language to describe and explain the children and different events in the story. He shows how loud and intense the rain has been on the planet venus, and uses descriptive language to show it. Bradbury explains in detail, many events, characters, and actions of those characters. He allows for the reader to really be able to imagine the scenes of the story. In All Summer in a Day, Ray…
My art I created for the Venus flytrap was created on Photoshop in order to properly illustrate the various characteristics of the carnivorous plant. Originally, I was going to paint the piece for this project, but over the course of the semester, I have been extensively learning the ins and outs of Photoshop in my Digital 1 class, and I decided to switch my project over to digital media. When I first sketched out my idea for this project, I created a very simplistic view of the flytrap catching…
