These are larger than thunderstorms and tornadoes but smaller than mid latitude cyclones.

How does the study of mars and Venus help establish the validity of the greenhouse effect
kipiarov [429]
Venus will help us understand what happens when the greenhouse effect is really extreme but it's not a really good example of what will happen to Earth because of human activities. Life on Earth would completely die due to the extreme temperatures way before reaching even half of the concentrations of carbon dioxide on Venus. Mars doesn’t really have any greenhouse effects. Mars does have some atmospheric carbon dioxide but almost no atmosphere but the atmosphere it does have is so thin that it cannot keep energy from the Sun. That’s why there are extreme temperature contrasts between day and night and sun or shade. However, most scientists say that Mars used to be warmer in and even had oceans, which means that the atmosphere was also very different. About 3600 million years ago, something happened and the planet evolved towards its current state. studying the planet could tell us what could have caused such a huge change

In ptolemy's earth-centered model for the solar system, venus's phase is never full as viewed from earth because it always lies
Klio2033 [76]
In Ptolemy's earth-centered model for the solar system, Venus's phase is never full as viewed from earth because it always lies between earth and the sun. In reality, as Galileo first recognized, Venus is full.

<span>Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth. That is why we cannot see the full Venus. However, Venus is full (whenever it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth). From Earth, Venus's phases range only between new and crescent.</span>
