PhanDA global mean surface temperature across the last 485 million years. The gray shading corresponds to different confidence levels, and the black line shows the average solution. The colored ...

Sea surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific are returning ... As a greenhouse gas, CO2 in the atmosphere ...

AT a small depth (from 12 to 40 feet) below the surface of the earth the temperature is constant throughout the year, and this constant temperature of the soil differs little from the mean annual ...

Planets' temperatures are largely influenced by their structural characteristics and proximity to the Sun, however, Venus ...

The ‘greenhouse effect’ caused by naturally occurring greenhouse gases, such as water vapour, stabilises the surface temperature of Earth. This allows the planet to support life.

El Niño is a natural climate pattern that tends to slightly raise the overall surface temperature of the planet ... the additional heat trapped inside Earth’s atmosphere by greenhouse gases.

NASA has discovered a new world, named Gliese 12 b. It is roughly the size of Earth, lies in the habitable zone, and orbits every 12.8 days.

Venus—a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes—may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington University in ...

What water, chemistry and temperature cycles fostered the chemical reactions that allowed life to emerge on our planet? Because life arose in the largely unknown surface conditions of Earth’s early ...

At this stage, it interacts with molecules of CO 2 in a way that prevents some of it from escaping Earth's atmosphere. The trapped heat energy leads to increased average global surface air ...
