What is Climate?

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Temperature Measurement Sites

Temperature Measurement Sites

A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Temperature and Thermal Equilibrium

Temperature and Thermal Equilibrium

Heat and temperature are essential concepts for everyone every day. The study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics. It is not always easy to distinguish heat and temperature.
The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...

Thermometers and Temperature Scales

Thermometers and Temperature Scales

Any physical property that depends consistently and reproducibly on temperature can be used as the basis of a thermometer. For example, volume increases with temperature for most substances. This property is the basis for the common alcohol thermometer and the original mercury thermometers. Other properties used to measure temperature include electrical resistance, color, and the emission of infrared radiation.
As many physical properties depend on temperature, the variety of thermometers is...

Radiation: Applications

Radiation: Applications

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Planetary formation temperatures depend strongly on distance from the sun, challenging solar radiative equilibrium models. Data support a dense, convective solar nebula with an adiabatic temperature-pressure profile.

Area of Science:

Planetary Science
Astrophysics
Nebular Physics

Background:

Planetary and satellite compositions offer insights into solar nebula conditions.
Previous models often assumed radiative equilibrium with the sun.

Purpose of the Study:

To constrain the thermal environment of the solar nebula using compositional data.
To test models of planetary formation temperatures against observational data.

Main Methods:

Analysis of densities and atmospheric compositions of terrestrial planets, Ceres, Vesta, Galilean satellites, and Titan.
Integration of geochemical and geophysical data from Earth.
Modeling condensation processes and their pressure-temperature dependencies.

Main Results:

Formation temperatures show a strong dependence on heliocentric distance.
This temperature variation is insensitive to assumptions about the nebula's pressure profile.
Models based on solar radiative equilibrium cannot explain the observed compositional data.

Conclusions:

The data contradict formation temperature models solely based on solar radiative equilibrium.
Findings support a dense, convective solar nebula model.
The solar nebula likely had an adiabatic temperature-pressure profile, opaque to solar radiation.
