The number density of air in a child's balloon is roughly the same as sea level air, 1019 particles/cm3. If the balloon is now 26 cm in diameter, to what diameter (in km) would it need to expand to make the gas inside have the same number density as the ISM, about 1 particle/cm3?
Answer in Km
Explain the composition of the Photovoltaic System.
A Jeep gets about 15 miles per gallon during city driving and is estimated to emit 11.3 tons of CO2 per year. If a single tree can absorb 30 pounds of CO2 per year, how many trees would it take to absorb the jeep's emissions for one year? 1 ton equals 2000 pounds.

- In the graph from the class handout the inflow of energy from the sun is given as a constant 236 watts per meter squared. To get this figure we used L(1 – a) × 236 W/m², where L = 1350 W/m²is the solar constant, and a = 0.3 is the Earth's albedo (meaning that 30% of the Sun's energy is reflected back into space). The 1/4 comes from averaging the arriving solar energy over the whole Earth (the surface area of the Earth is 4 times the area of the "disk of energy" hitting the Earth.) Using these ideas estimate the inflow of energy to a planet if the solar constant is 647 watts per meter squared and the planet's albedo is 0.5. Round your answer to the near 10 watts per square meter.arrow_forwardWhy is the accurate observation of atmospheric water vapor important?
