Applying Leopold’s Ethic to our Planet Earth The world is changing. It is a fact that humans have been slow to accept‚ but based on scientific experiments‚ the environment of planet Earth is undergoing massive changes in temperature and climate‚ landscape‚ molecular distribution‚ and species diversity. The planet Earth is very different than it used to be‚ based on the actions of one species among possibly millions that inhabit the earth. Humans have managed to transform everything they touch

Saturn is predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium‚ the two basic gases of the universe‚ which is also why Saturn has no landforms. The planet also bears traces of ices containing ammonia‚ methane‚ and water. Unlike the rocky terrestrial planets‚ gas giants such as Saturn‚ lack the layered crust-mantle-core structure‚ because they formed differently from their rocky siblings. It is almost completely made of gas. Its atmosphere bleeds into its "surface" with little distinction‚ meaning that Saturn

coaster-like weather is more chaotic and unpredictable than scientists first thought. At times‚ the sky can appear pink and cloudless‚ filled with windblown dust raised from the rusty Martian surface. Tremendous dust storms sometimes rage over the entire planet. Most of the dust storms occur during the perihelion - when Mars is closest to the sun. In addition‚ the dust storms continue to dominate the atmosphere and climate during the aphelion - when Mars is furthest from the sun. Perihelion and aphelion

Is Our Atmosphere Unique? The planet Jupiter has the biggest atmosphere in our solar system. Jupiter’s atmosphere is composed of 90% hydrogen and 9.9% helium and .1% other gases such as sulfur‚ methane‚ ammonia‚ and water vapor. It is able to hold its atmosphere in because of its massive gravitational pull that is around 2.5 times stronger than earth’s pull. To put that into perspective‚ if you weigh 100 pounds on earth you would weigh 250 pounds on Jupiter. The atmospheric layers are the
