Earth's atmosphere is enormous, so far reaching that it even affects the International Space Station's route. But how did this giant gaseous envelope form? That is, why does Earth have an atmosphere? In short, our atmosphere is here because of gravity. When Earth formed, about 4.5 billion...
When the moon first comes up, its light reaches our eyes after an extra-long path through the atmosphere(大气). There are lots of particles(微粒)scattering(分散)light in that long path. Blue light is scattered more than other colors, which means that it doesn't reach your eyes. The ligh...

Cloudy days can be deceiving. We have all heard you can still get sunburned on a cloudy day. Most of us don’t believe it and have some story to “prove” it. Others have suffered the consequences and can attest to the truth about cloudy days. ...
As Earth's atmosphere has more nitrogen compared to oxygen, why aren't blue/purple auroras that are caused by nitrogen the most common? The aurora occurs so high up that the mix of air we are familiar with is not the same as at 100 km. The atmosphere there is much less dense, and ...
Not surprisingly, land surface temperatures dropped as the moon increasingly blocked the sun's light. "We knew that even small changes in solar radiation have an effect on the land surface temperature," said Virendra Ghate, an atmospheric scientist at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Ill.,...
Turkey doesn’t have cold winters because, in some places, it really does; however, for the most part, it’s far milder and drier than much of Europe. I’ll get onto the weather shortly because the sheer size of Türkiye means that you can’t lump the entire country into one weather...
But this doesn’t mean your vantage point of the forthcomingeclipseis guaranteed to be cloud-free as the research isn’t applicable to all clouds — only the shallow cumulus kind found hovering over land. “Those are the low, patchy, puffy clouds that you normally find on a sunny day,”...
The PMO is therefore not expected to (and may not even be able to) have a direct influence in these matters. Reading tip:PMO functions, which are typical and how important are they? Practical Tips for the PMO As the PMO, however, you certainly have an indirect and effective influence on...
“Because you will already have power due to the motor for the lift, you can add LED lighting to accent the crystal and liquor at every opportunity,” Breaux says. “Also, make sure your cabinet is deep and add plenty of shelf space, up to 8 inches or more, to drop the liq...
