In the Solar System, our neighbours Venus and Mars provide striking examples of two endpoints of planetary evolution, runaway greenhouse and loss of atmosphere to space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety of extra-solar planets brings a wider angle to the issue: from scorching \"hot jupiters'' to ocean worlds, exo-atmospheres explore many configurations unknown in the Solar System, such as iron clouds, silicate rains, extreme plate tectonics, and steam volcanoes. Exoplanetary atmospheres have recently become accessible to observations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book puts our own climate in the wider context of the trials and tribulations of planetary atmospheres. Based on cutting-edge research, it uses a grand tour of the atmospheres of other planets to shine a new light on our own atmosphere, and its relation with life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-04-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461485537\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-8554-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 151\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47407186608268,"sku":"9781461485537","price":29.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461485537.jpg?v=1775829137","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461485537","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
