How much NH3 can be absorbed by H2O at 3pa and 0C?
1 AnswerChemistry5 years agoThe latest NASA picture of Saturn shows the planet is a very sharp sphere like a marble? How can that be?
The current theory about planetary structure says they should be fuzzy near the surface due to very low pressure atmospheres but, the new picture from NASA clearly indicates a very unfuzzy surface that looks much as a solid would look.
6 AnswersAstronomy & Space8 years agoWhy not have a carbon tax and use the money to reduce other taxes?
This targeted tax would be a useful tool for several problems currently in the news.
2 AnswersUnited States9 years agoWhy not have a carbon tax if that will be helpful?
If it works or not at least some money will be collected by the government to help with other matters.
16 AnswersGlobal Warming9 years agoLets say the ocean would freeze if heat from the mantle stopped flowing-is that right or wrong?
We know there is some heat that flows from Earth's interior however the rate and exact effect is not as yet established as near as I can determine. It seems within the realm of whatever that Earth might have been real cold at some time when no heat flowed from the mantle into the ocean and the ocean was forced to freeze.
6 AnswersGlobal Warming9 years agoWhy does climate science assume the Earth is a cold rock when its mantle is so hot?
Do they also assume Earth stores heat? What ever happened to the laws that used to govern these matters?
12 AnswersGlobal Warming9 years agoHow much mass is ejected from the sun during an average year?
The solar wind is made up from protons ejected from the sun but, how much stuff is actually ejected?
2 AnswersAstronomy & Space9 years agoHow can simple molecules(sayC2H4)be transformed into-say C8H18?
It seems hydro-carbon chains are common in nature but, not in laboratories and I wonder why.
1 AnswerChemistry9 years agoHow old is the oldest white dwarf discovered so far?
2 AnswersAstronomy & Space9 years agoHow long does it take for a star to become a white dwarf?
How many ways are there for a star to become a white dwarf?
3 AnswersAstronomy & Space9 years agoIs the basic question: Why is our planet ~25 degrees warmer than black body law indicates?
Just following up on the latest Maax question. Why is it assumed the atmosphere is causing this bone of contention? Why not look a bit deeper into this detail?
4 AnswersGlobal Warming9 years agoIs there any other theory to explain the motion of stars in a galaxy?
Is the dark matter theory is the only game in town?
6 AnswersAstronomy & Space10 years agoIs dark matter an assumed fact by all astronomers?
It seems dark matter was invented to help explain the rotational speed of the stars in a galactic disk and I wonder if any other explanation exists such as the disk structure requiring a new model.
5 AnswersAstronomy & Space10 years agoWhat is the physics supporting global warming?
3 AnswersPhysics10 years agoIs global warming really a physics problem as has been suggested?
8 AnswersGlobal Warming10 years agoHow much more energy is required to maintain a higher temperature in one of two otherwise identical containers?
I am attempting to focus thermal laws on a conceptual problem about radiating bodies. It must be me so I thank you one and all for your insights.
5 AnswersGlobal Warming10 years agoHow does CO2 warming effect thermodynamic laws?
You guys say CO2 causes warming and there is nothing in the laws of thermodynamics indicating anything other than energy causes warming. What do we do with that simple fact?
