  1. 1Input planetary parameters: mass, radius, temperature
  2. 2Calculate atmospheric scale height and escape velocity
  3. 3Determine atmospheric retention capability

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
Venus: thick CO₂ atmosphere, 92 atm pressure
ଫଳ
Extreme greenhouse effect, surface 464°C
Uninhabitable

ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ

  • Assuming all planets have oxygen atmosphere
  • Neglecting atmospheric evolution

ବାରମ୍ବାର ଜିଜ୍ଞାସା

What atmospheres can planets retain?

Depends on escape velocity vs. molecular speeds; light molecules escape.
