Tour of Planet with Extreme Temperature SwingsEducation
ammonia, and methane. The unique sideways tilt means that for nearly 84 Earth years the Sun shines directly over each pole and the opposite half of the planet experiences long, dark winters. It is the coldest atmosphere in the solar system with a minimum temperature of 49 K (−224 °C;...
All in all, these records show that Earth's global average temperature has increased by about 1.8 F (1 C) since the industrial revolution. Climate change has sped up in the past few decades, with the planet warming about 0.36 F (0.2 C) every 10 years. Earth's average temperature has ...
The most general kind of motion combines both translation and rotation. All motions are relative to some frame of reference. Saying that a body is at rest, which means that it is not in motion, merely means that it is being described with respect to a frame of reference that is moving ...
Deuterium enrichments that can be linked to low-temperature fractionation processes are found in the Earth’s ocean, as well as in cometary ices, and they represent our most important evidence connecting solar system chemistry to interstellar chemistry. There are several chemical processes through ...

Furthermore, KELT-9b receives 700 times more extreme-ultraviolet radiation (that is, with wavelengths shorter than 91.2 nanometres) than WASP-33b, leading to a predicted range of mass-loss rates that could leave the planet largely stripped of its envelope during the main-sequence lifetime ...
The planets are mostly internally differentiated with the heavy elements tending to be found near the center and the most volatile elements near the surface. The gaseous planets present the observer with their top layers of their envelopes while most of the smaller planets present their solid ...
At the present time, the observational evidence for an exoplanet atmosphere mass-metallicity trend is mixed with studies using Hubble transit spectra (see the previous discussion), yielding a range of results, from a trend similar to what is seen in Solar System gas giants to no evidence for ...
8 illustrates the progression of a simulation with a starting temperature field equilibrated at Q = 6. In this case, the initially stagnant system rapidly flips into an episodic mode for most of its early history, transiting into a regular mobile-lid mode only after t ∼ 0.9 (e.g. Fig....
