... are directly linked to surface features below. Venus is a world of contrasts. Its surface is incredibly hot due to an extreme greenhouse effect and temperatures can reach as high as 450°C (723.15 K), hot enough to melt lead, while winds in the...
... of parameters needed, the team conclude cirrus clouds do not provide the necessary warming, suggesting that other greenhouse mechanisms are needed. However, the team do suggest that warming by cirrus cloud may be possible if the mean...
... not only mitigates the growing level of carbon dioxide produced by traditional manufacturing practices – roughly one-fifth of greenhouse emissions come from food production alone – it also uses renewable energy. Sounds like a win-win situation...
... planets and planetary systems form. HR8799e is also completely inhospitable too; the exoplanet suffers from a powerful greenhouse effect – a bit like Venus – which heats the super giant to a scorching hot temperature of roughly 1000 °C. The...
... hit Earth when it was covered by an ice sheet between 2 to 5 kilometres thick, up to half a trillion tonnes of water vapour, a greenhouse gas, could have been released into the atmosphere from the melting ice within moments of the...
....04 could be similar to those we have on Earth. “If KOI-456.04 has a mostly inert atmosphere with a mild Earth-like greenhouse effect, then its surface temperature would be +5 degrees Celsius on average, which is about ten degrees lower than...
