WHAT MAKES OUR ATMOSPHERE DISTINCT FROM SPACE?
2
1. The affected medium of atmosphere. (atmospheric composition)
3
Others
4
1. The affected medium of atmosphere. (atmospheric composition) Others WATER VAPOR DUST
5
2. “Density” of Molecules
6
Gravitational attraction Directly proportional to mass of two objects (Earth and gas molecules)
7
2. “Density” of Molecules Gravitation attraction Directly proportional to mass of two objects (Earth and gas molecules) Inversely proportional to distance between the two objects (Earth’s “pull” declines with distance from Earth)
