The ocean stores huge amounts of carbon, about 60 times more than is in the atmosphere.
It's very turbulently mixed, because it's moving over those great big undersea mountains, and this allows CO2 and heat to exchange with the atmosphere in and out.
Put another way, that's enough water to immerse the entire United States under a body of salt water over 132 kilometers tall, a height well beyond the reach of the highest clouds and extending deep into the upper atmosphere.
The men in Apollo 10 reached a record-breaking speed of around 25,000 miles per hour when the shuttle re-entered the Earth's atmosphere in 1969.
Perhaps the Earth's atmosphere acts like a giant lens, magnifying the moon as it rises and sets.
If anything, the refraction of the atmosphere would make the moon look slightly smaller.
Its thick atmosphere, not its distance from the sun, is the reason.
From these lessons from our own solar system, we've learned that a planet's atmosphere is crucial to its climate and potential to host life.
So I use computer models to calculate the kind of atmosphere a planet would need to have a suitable climate for water and life.
As the sun's rays move towards Earth, some get absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, some are reflected back into outer space, but the rest make it to the Earth's surface.
The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the more likely that infrared photons will land back on Earth and change our climate.

How does the Martian atmosphere's density change at different elevations?
What angle will the probe hit the atmosphere at?
Since then, new information about the Martian atmosphere, improved spacecraft technology, and more powerful computer simulations have drastically reduced uncertainty.
But the difference is, on Earth, most of the carbon has been leeched over time out of the atmosphere, deposited in the ground as coal, oil, natural gas, etc.
On Venus, most of it is in the atmosphere.
This is relevant to our current strategy of taking as much carbon out of the ground as quickly as possible, and putting it into the atmosphere.

If that were true, the stratosphere would be heated as well as the lower atmosphere, if it's more coming in.
Here is the lower atmosphere.
And when moisture freezes in the atmosphere, the specific binding properties of water molecules reliably produce radiating lattices that form into beautiful snowflakes.
It is a very thin shell of atmosphere surrounding the planet.
And the accumulated amount of man-made, global warming pollution that is up in the atmosphere now traps as much extra heat energy as would be released by 400,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every 24 hours, 365 days a year.
And all that extra heat energy is heating up the atmosphere, the whole earth system.
Let's look at the atmosphere.
There's so much extra energy in the atmosphere, there's so much extra water vapor.
The term was first applied by Horace Walpole to his own 1764 novel, "The Castle of Otranto" as a reference to the plot and general atmosphere.
Soil nutrients are so minimal that no vegetation can be found, and of course hardly any atmosphere exists to speak of.
And so, if we were to dump any of us on Mars right this minute, even given ample food, water, air and a suit, we are likely to experience very unpleasant health problems from the amount of ionizing radiation that bombards the surface of planets like Mars that have little or nonexistent atmosphere.
