2). Although it doesn't, let's pretend that Venus has an atmosphere similar to our own. It has a surface temperature of 750 K. Assuming the volume is held constant, what is the pressure change when the temperature changes from 20° C on Earth to the temperature of Venus? If we kept the pressure constant, how small would the volume of air have to be to get to the temperature of Venus?

2. Show that the divergence of the geostrophic wind is – v,(cot $)/a if the variations in fwith latitude are accounted for (i.e., use the full definition of the Coriolis parameter f = 2.0 sin p). To derive this relationship, recall that on a spherical planet, the distance north is y = aø, where ø is latitude (in radians) and a is the radius of Earth (6,370,000 m). Thus, a derivative in y can be expressed as a derivative in latitude o via the following relationship: a 1 a ду а дф
Assume that Venus has an isothermal atmosphere with a surface temperature of 750 K. The surface pressure of Venus is 90 times the Earth's surface pressure which is about 1013mb. Also assume that the carbon dioxide dominant atmosphere of Venus is photodissociated and oxygen atoms are produced. These oxygen atoms stop the solar wind at the ionopause distance where the atmospheric pressure of Venus and the dynamic pressure of the solar wind are in balance. Accordingly, calculate the lonopause distance of the planet Venus if the solar wind density is 7 #/cm² and solar wind speed is 410 km/sec.
Use the heuristic that a planet will have lost a given molecule from its atmosphere of 4.5 Billion years if the average molecular speed exceeds % of the planet's escape speed to calculate what mercury's mass would have to be in order to it to still have a nitrogen atmosphere like earth's? The molecular weight of nitrogen is 28 atomic units.

You decide to go on an interstellar mission to explore some of the newly discovered extrasolar planets orbiting the star ROTOR. Your spacecraft arrives in the new system, in which there are five planets. ROTOR is identical to the Sun (in terms of its size, mass, age and composition). From your observations of these planets, you collect the following data: Density Average Distance from star (AU] Planet Mass Radius Albedo Temp. [C] Surf. Press.
