- I have provided table 10-1 for mercuryAssume that a planet will have lost its initial atmosphere by the present time if the average molecular speed exceeds one-sixth of the escape speed. What would Mercury's mass have to be in order for it to still have a nitrogen atmosphere? The molecular weight of nitrogen is 28.Titan's exosphere has a temperature of about 218 K. What is the thermal speed of hydrogen (in km/s) in Titan's exosphere? The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.67 × 10-27 kg and Boltzmann's constant is k = 1.38 × 10-23 Joule/Kelvin.
- In thinking about satellite altimetry, when the distance between a satellite and the ocean surface increases, what is happening with the ocean depth? Is it getting shallower or deeper?Titan's exosphere has a temperature of about 202 K. What is the thermal speed of hydrogen (in km/s) in Titan''s exosphere? The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.67 × 10-27 kg and Boltzmann's constant is k = 1.38 × 10-23 Joule/Kelvin.
