Assume that Venus has an isothermal atmosphere with a surface temperature of 750 K. The surface pressure of Venusis 90 times the Earth's surface pressure which is about 1013mb. Also assume that the carbon dioxide dominantatmosphere of Venus is photodissociated and oxygen atoms are produced. These oxygen atoms stop the solar windat the ionopause distance where the atmospheric pressure of Venus and the dynamic pressure of the solar wind arein balance. Accordingly, calculate the lonopause distance of the planet Venus if the solar wind density is 7 #/cm² andsolar wind speed is 410 km/sec.

Astronomers solved this puzzle when they observed a rare transit of Venus in front of the Sun (Figure 5). What could they learn about the planet’s atmosphere from this photo?
Evidence exists that Mars may have had oceans 0.500 km deep in its early history. We don't know what the atmospheric pressure on Mars was back then, but some studies suggest it may have been as high as 50,000 Pa. What would have been the highest pressure at the bottom of these oceans? Density of water is 1000 kg/m³, gmars = 3.71 m/s².

equattion : S/4 (1- a) = f*sigma*TS4 Solar Constant (W/m2) S = 1361 How sensitive is the temperature of the earth to changes in the atmospheric transmissivity (f)? The atmosphere is more transmissive (lets more radiation through) when CO2 and other greenhouse gases are lower. During the pre-industrial period, transmissivity (f) was probably around 62% (f = 0.62) and has been decreasing. Calculate how much the Earth's surface temperature would change if the transmissivity changes by ±0.01 (to 0.60 or to 0.62). ___ °C per 1% transmissivity change.
