Document Summary
At first, we need to convert 3000 kilometers into meters and convert 0. 8 centimeters per year into meters per year. If this rate has been constant, it has been 375000000 years since they were in contact with each other: solution: From the lecture note, we get the mass of the hydrogen, ammonia, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, which are: We also can find the mass of venus, mars, jupiter, and pluto from the textbook: Moreover, we could find the radius of venus, mars, jupiter, and pluto from the textbook: We can use the formula to get the limit temperature: Since we know the temperature of venus, mars, jupitor, and pluto: If the temperature of the planet is higher than the planet limit temperature for holding the molecule, then the gas cannot be trapped. If the temperature of the planet is lower than the planet limit temperature for holding the molecule, then the gas can be trapped.
