Because of the lack of a temperature difference between the equator and poles of Jupiter, the   a. cyclonic circulations on Earth are duplicated on Jupiter.   b. high- and low-pressure regions are drawn into bands by the planet’s rapid rotation.   c. belt-zone circulation is only a temporary phenomenon.   d. belt-zone circulation is exceptionally stable.   e. belt zone circulation is an illusion produced by the interaction of sunlight and chemicals in the Jovian atmosphere.

4 Determine the albedo flux for an orbit around Earth in Watts/m2, given an altitude of 1,186 km

In general what would be the most effective means for making the atmosphere more unstable? Warming the mid-levels (e.g., 500mb level) and cooling the surface. Cooling the mid-levels (e.g., 500mb level) and warming the surface. Warming both the mid-levels (e.g., 500mb level) and the surface. Cooling both the mid-levels (e.g., 500mb level) and the surface.

The condensation sequence predicts that asteroids consisting of carbonaceous material would form   a. in the inner solar system where it is warmer.   b. at random locations then migrating to the outer asteroid belt due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter and Saturn.   c. in the outer solar system where it is very cold.   d. between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn.   e. in the outer asteroid belt where it is cooler.

1. Which of the outer planets have compositions dominated by the "ices" ingredient? Check the correct two. 2. Which of the outer planets have compositions dominated by the "gases" ingredient? Check the correct two.  3. Most of the spaceflight missions to the outer planets have been flyby missions, but two of them were orbiters. Which of these two spacecraft orbited giant planets? Check the correct two. (Hint: An orbiter might do a flyby of one planet and then go on to orbit a different planet.) 4. Jupiter's mass is how many times larger than the Earth's? Just type a number, no words or any other extra stuff. 5. Which of the outer planets has extreme seasons, with its rotational axis being tilted so much that it is practically in the plane of its orbit?

Which of the following events/impacts could be expected to affect Earth less than an hour after a solar flare occurs. Select all correct answers   A. Radio Burst   B. Minor Proton Event   C. Geomagnetic Storm   D. CIR

B2

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

31) What evidence indicates that the climate of Mars has cyclical changes?

Although Deimos is smaller than Phobos, Deimos has more debris on its surface. This difference in the two moons is probably the result of   a. the greater number of impact craters on Deimos.   b. Martian gravity, which is strong enough to pull debris off the surface of Phobos.   c. the lack of volcanic activity on the surface of Phobos.   d. the comparatively weaker gravity on Deimos.   e. the slower rotation rate of Deimos on its axis.
