The Shape of Mercury's Magnetosphere

Mia Randall
4.9/5 (22415 ratings)
Description:Mercury's atmosphere is very thin, with a pressure of only about 10-14 Pa (10-11 Torr). The atmosphere is composed mainly of helium and hydrogen, with traces of other gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. The atmosphere is constantly being stripped away by the solar wind, and it is thought that Mercury may have had a thicker atmosphere in the past. Composition of Mercury's Atmosphere The atmosphere of Mercury is composed mainly of helium and hydrogen, with traces of other gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. The helium and hydrogen are thought to have been deposited on Mercury by the solar wind, while the oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are thought to have been released from the planet's interior by volcanic activity. The composition of Mercury's atmosphere varies with altitude. The highest levels of helium and hydrogen are found at the lowest altitudes, while the highest levels of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are found at the highest altitudes. This is because the solar wind is more intense at the lower altitudes, and it is more effective at stripping away the lighter gases.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
