Talk:Atmosphere

suggestions
Please continue to develop explanations on key terminology in the atmosphere, such as scale height, the boundary layer, and the coriolis force. Additionally, make sure to incorporate many many more citations. JulianArnheim (talk) 01:58, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

info
well anyways im just wondering why don't you put up somemore information about ATMOSPHERE it's self you have plenty of information about Pluto Atmosphere & stuff but theres only 3-4 sentences about ATMOSPHERE thats all !! thank you

Requested Move 2006
I'm putting in to move this to Atmosphere, because the current page there is a disambiguation, but this is a general article about atmospheres and none of the other things on that page come close, except for Earth's atmosphere. The disambig page can be moved to Atmosphere (disambiguation), and then we can put this in its place. Night Gyr 08:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

A New Reference
I would like to see a reference for the sentence, "An atmosphere may be retained for a longer duration, if the gravity is high and the atmosphere's temperature is low." I would like to know what the author considers a "low" atmospheric temperature. I will also look.Jsolebello (talk) 18:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)Joey E Solebello

Percentages don't add to 100
" Earth's atmosphere contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, a variable amount (average around 1.247%) water vapor, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and traces of hydrogen, helium, and other "noble" gases."

The water vapor percentage will change the other percentages which are for dry air only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.213.32.21 (talk) 22:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Atmospheres of gas planets
I've removed Some planets consist mainly of various gases, but only their outer layer is their atmosphere. From the lead. There was no citation and the statment is not supported in the article body. It also is contradicted by a cited statement at Atmosphere_of_Jupiter (note [2]). ~KvnG 19:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Held in place
The statement in the lede/lead "layer of gases surrounding a planet or other material body of sufficient mass[3] that is held in place by the gravity of the body" seems to preclude a steady state creation and loss of the gasses. Any thoughts on a clearer wording?SovalValtos (talk) 20:23, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

B class requirements
Per WP:BCLASS, I've reassessed this to C because the main issue is poor sourcing. There are just five references, from that two source the greek meaning, and the remaining three seem to only support specific minor parts of the article. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 18:33, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Atmosphere not in equilibrium?
In the article the statement "Other bodies within the Solar System have extremely thin atmospheres not in equilibrium" Just how can a planet's atmosphere, or of any other gravitationally bound object, possibly be in equilibrium?--Damorbel (talk) 13:58, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

На фотоснимке Марса нет следов жизни растительности.
Видны только границы первичных "континетальных плит". Какие и на Луне. Поэтому могли быть только первые кислотные дожди. А углекислота - не "органического происхождения".

Если там строить "космодром" для полёта к другим планетам - "один чёрт" всё отсюда везти. Кроме грунта.

What is Kanger?

Parts-per_notation
An article on global warming potential, and the confusion between molar fraction and mass fraction, reminded me that I didn't know which one was used here. Is the well known 78% molar or mass percentage? As Parts-per_notation notes, it is often not stated, and different fields use different defaults, so it should be stated.

History section
The section titled 'History' is a complete mess. Nothing is cited, and little of the information is corroborated in sources I've seen. I would like to fix it but am currently in want of the required patience to do so.
