If the earth did not have an atmosphere, would its average surface temperature be higher or lower than what it is now?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In absence of atmosphere there would be no greenhouse effect and the temperature of the earth will be lower than what it is now.

An open-end manometer was used to determine the pressure of a gas present in a container. It was found that the height of mercury level in the arm attached to the gas-filled container was 4 cm higher than that in the open ene arm. If the atmospheric pressure was measured to be 76 cm Hg, then what will be the pressure of the gas inside the container in atm unit?

The earth's surface has a negative surface charge density of 10^-9C.m^-2 . The potential difference of 400kV between the top of the atmosphere and the surface results (due to the low conductivity of the lower atmosphere) in a current of only 1800 A over the entire globe. If there wre no mechanism of sustaining atmospheric,electric field, how much time (roughly) would be required to neutralise earth's surface? [Radius of earth = 6.37 times 10^6m ]

The Earth's surface has a negative surface charge density of 10^(-9)C//m^2 .
