Astronomers have characterized the atmosphere of a young (20 Myr old) transiting exoplanet and found it to be unusually clear and puffy. By analyzing the planet's atmospheric features, they were able ...

Tropical climate and the composition of the global upper atmosphere are affected by the tropical tropopause layer. A synthesis report concludes that transport and mixing in the tropopause region ...

Stellar atmosphere can be used to predict the composition of rocky exoplanets. by Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço ...

Jupiter's atmosphere has a strange composition, but it could be explained if the planet formed farther away from the sun than where it orbits today, a new study suggests.

The envelope of gases that we call the Earth’s atmosphere is bound to the planet more or less permanently by gravity. Within 50 miles of the surface, the air is so thoroughly mixed by turbulence ...

Hydrogen sulfide, the gas that gives rotten eggs their distinctive odor, permeates the upper atmosphere of the planet Uranus – as has been long debated, but never definitively proven. Based […] ...

If you want to look into the early Earth, a key piece of the puzzle is the air of our planet’s ancient skies. Today, for instance, Earth’s atmosphere is filled with gases that support the ...

The dry, stable air of Earth’s stratosphere is like a parking lot for aerosols, fine atmospheric particles that can affect the climate below. During high-altitude flights conducted over the ...

Chemicals produced by re-entering satellites of Starlink and other megaconstellations will likely alter the chemistry of Earth’s upper atmosphere and cause damage to the protective ozone layer.
