surface. The surface of Venus is definitely not ideal to build on. An ideal surface would be flatter. Although Venus’ atmosphere is filled with clouds, in this case, clouds to not mean water. The scorching hot temperature of Venus, 480 degrees Celsius or 900 degrees Fahrenheit, does not provide water on the surface. But scientists have found traces of water in Venus’ atmosphere. The accessibility to water on Venus is extremely low. Since water is a vital element in the human body, the ability to

Greenhouse Gases? Many chemical compounds found in the Earth’s atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.” These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface, some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Over time, the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth’s surface should be about the same as the amount of energy

EARTH PERSPECTIVES The biological and geological future of the Earth can be extrapolated based upon the estimated effects of several long-term influences. These include the chemistry at the Earth's surface, the rate of cooling of the planet's interior, the gravitational interactions with other objects in the Solar System, and a steady increase in the Sun's luminosity. An uncertain factor in this extrapolation is the ongoing influence of technology introduced by humans, such as geoengineering, which

reports, political motives, and environmental groups are fueling the fire of the global warming catastrophe, Lindzen believes there is no justifiable scientific evidence that suggests anthropogenic global warming will have consequential results on the Earth’s climate. Slide 2 Richard Lindzen was born 8 February 1940 in Webster, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University with his A.B. in Physics in 1960, followed by an S.M. in Applied Mathematics in 1961 and then a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics

from the sun pass through the atmosphere where they are absorbed or trapped. However, part of light emitted from the sun in form of longwave is re-radiated from heated obects on the earth’s surface in to the atmosphere. Presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere does not allow the radiations to pass through. The greenhouse gas moelecules are more complex than any air molecule and their structure has high heat absorption capacity. The heat radiated back to the earth’s surface to modulate its temperature

The increase levels of carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect. The sources of primary pollutants are called mobile sources these include trucks and cars. Other sources of pollutants are known as stationary or industry which includes industrial sites or power plants, etc. The most prevelant gases in the earth’s atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen

plants and animals in a given area, interacting with each other, and also with their non-living environments (weather, earth, sun, soil, climate, and atmosphere). Ecosystems are the foundations of the Environment and they determine the health of the entire earth system. Rainforests are the Earth's oldest living ecosystems. They only cover 6 % of the Earth's surface but contain more than half of the world's plant and animal species. A Rainforest can be described as a tall, green, beautiful, tropical, compressed

They come from gigantic explosions on the sun, which sends streams of charged protons and electrons speeding towards Earth with a velocity of 200 million miles per hour. When these particles reach Earth’s magnetic field, they accelerate to about 134 million miles per hour then they are driven down towards the Polar
