The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.
This lecture compares terrestrial atmospheres and discusses atmospheric processes, atmospheric equilibrium, and the atmospheric development of Mars, Venus, and Earth. It ends with a discussion of natural and unnatural climate changes.
