Atmosphere

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…

I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…

Global Warming Global warming during the twentieth century and how heat radiation effects the atmosphere. This is affected by expanding greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide mostly from our technology and physical factor and furthermore. Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and other gases such as burning fossil fuel expanded into the atmosphere as a consequence of Global warming. The past fifty years, the temperature increased in a…

molecules remain in our atmosphere for hundreds of years, but water molecules only remain in the atmosphere for a few weeks. It is constantly recycled through the atmosphere, land surface, and oceans. Water vapor is controlled by temperature and physical processes in the clouds. Both water vapor and clouds are the most important greenhouse substances. On page 26-27, it is said “Clouds affect…

Climate change is known to be the changes that happen to the normal climate pattern affecting the surface temperature, humidity rate, average density and rainfall rate, etc. climate change started to appear in the mid 20th century and onward. According to Noaa, (2016), data showed that the global temperature increased by almost two degrees. It seems to be not much but as scientists expected, it affected the global climate in a very negative way. Pollution, global warming, human activities and…

It’s no secret that global warming is a serious issue. It’s also no secret that humans play a substantial role in why it has become such a serious issue in the past 25 years. We have gotten into comfortable habits that are slowly killing our planet. These habits are causing earth to reach dangerously high temperatures and creating irregular weather patterns all across the world. Scientists say that humans are 95% responsible for global warming and for increasing carbon levels. Trapped…

harmful chemicals such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Releasing these dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere causes the ozone layer to gradually disintegrate. The ozone layer is a shield around the earth. This shield protects…

In current news, global warming, which is defined as “the gradual heating of Earth 's surface, oceans and atmosphere” (Bradford, 2014), has been a significant topic of interest. Among politicians, environmentalists, and concerned citizens, the impacts of climate change have been heatedly debated. While a portion of America believe that climate change is not a serious threat, is not caused by mankind, or perhaps is not even real, another portion believe it is the most terrifying and imminent…

The Earth climate results from a very complex exchange of energy between the sun and the earth and also the exchanges of energy and humidity which are produced in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere/solid earth, cryosphere and biosphere. The atmosphere is the central component of the global environmental system from which life is based on. The climate can be defined in general terms as the long term behavior of the environmental system. To fully understand climate and climate change we…

If leadership is in your heart individuals see it and the atmosphere spreads to those that have it in their heart breeds a favorable work atmosphere. If it is in the head that is what I call a power trip. They fill the position and have no care for others. Often what I see in my job is the clerks hate the job, the people and the favorable work atmosphere is buried under a lack of motivation. Explained by Edwards, Turnbull, Schedlitzki, and Gill (2013)…
