In NASA's exoplanet search, why is the gas CO looked for in atmospheres?

1 answer:

6 0

Carbon monoxide (CO) as one of the one major air pollutants doesn’t have a direct effect on the global temperature (like methane and carbon dioxide ) but it takes part in the formation of lower-atmospheric ozone and urban smog. CO also affects the ability of the atmosphere to cleanse itself of many polluting gases.

So, it is important to measure concentrations of CO via sensors on NASA’s satellite.

How was the naming of organisms different before Carolus Linnaeus, and how was the system difficult for scientists PLEASEEE ANSW

cluponka [151]

How was the naming of organisms different before carolus Linnaeus: Before Linnaeus came up with a standardized system of naming, there were often many names for a single species, and these names tended to be long and confusing. Linnaeus decided that all species names should be in Latin and should have two parts. Remember, this 2-part system is called binomial nomenclature///////.
