Near the surface of Venus, the rms speed of carbon dioxidemolexules(CO₂) is 760 m/s.What is the temperature (in kelvins) ofthe atmosphere at thatpoint?
1 K

Assume that the atmosphere has a temperature (T = 235 K) that isindependent of altitude. The pressure of the atmosphere is the sumof the partial pressures of the gases present (N2, O2, etc.). Thepartial pressure of each type of gas varies with altitude, h,according to the condition of constant chemical potential.

Define h(N2) as the altitude at which the partial pressure ofnitrogen (28 g/mole) falls to 1/2 of its value at sea level. Defineh(H2) as the altitude at which the partial pressure of hydrogen (2g/mole) falls to 1/2 of its value at sea level.

What is the difference between h(H2) and h(N2)?

On the moon's surface, lunar astronauts placed a corner reflector, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round -trip time. What per cent correction is needed to account for the delay in time due to the slowing of light in Earth's atmosphere? Assume the distance to the moon is precisely And Earth's atmosphere (which varies in density with altitude ) is equivalent to a layer 30.0 km thick with a constant index of refraction n=1.000293.
