A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar ...

When you look at photographs of Earth from space, the planet looks like a blue marble, with patterns of clouds lying on the surface of the marble. It seems as if Earth's atmosphere is incredibly thin, ...

The small traces of gas that form the atmosphere of our moon may have come from meteorites hitting its pockmarked surface. The exact origins of the moon's extremely thin atmosphere—known as an ...

ERS-2, a satellite commissioned by the European Space Agency nearly 30 years ago, is set to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere this morning—though the ESA said this poses an extremely low risk to people, ...

New research reveals the Moon may have been silently collecting Earth’s atmosphere for billions of years. Scientists now ...

(WAND) - Earth's atmosphere is divided into several distinct layers, each characterized by specific temperature variations, composition, and phenomena. Below are the primary layers of the atmosphere, ...

Over the past two decades, microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have been recognized as emerging pollutants, detected ...

The new data confirm that TOI-561 b maintains a substantial atmosphere despite its extreme heat. Astronomers from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., reported that TOI-561 b has ...

The outermost part of our planet’s atmosphere extends well beyond the lunar orbit – almost twice the distance to the Moon. A recent discovery based on observations by the ESA/NASA Solar and ...

A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder has found the mechanism behind the sudden onset of a “natural thermostat” in Earth’s upper atmosphere that dramatically cools the air after it has been ...

Hot air holds more moisture than cold air. That simple truth, while familiar to anyone who’s used a blow dryer or walked outside after a humid shower, is driving a hidden shift in how droughts behave.
