If there is no weather or atmosphere on the moon, then where does the ice come from?

The Moon | Scholastic.com
We think that the ice on the moon came from comets! Comets are made up of mostly ice with some rocks and dirt mixed in. We think that most of the water on the earth probably came from comets that crashed into the earth when the earth was very, very young. The ice on the moon may have come the same way. Most of the water on the moon evaporated away a long time ago. But the ice at the South Pole stayed there because it is very, very cold and is in a dark area where the sun never shines.

Why does weather occur only in the lowest layer of the atmosphere?

USATODAY.com
What we call weather is simply the movement of energy and moisture around the globe via air molecules. Due to Earth's gravitational pull, most of the air molecules are located in the lowest seven miles of the atmosphere, called the troposphere. In fact, climbing to an elevation of just 3.3 miles will put about 50% of the Earth's air molecules below you. The next layer up, from about 7 miles to 30 miles in altitude, is the stratosphere, a very stable layer with relatively few air molecules.

Is there water-ice present on the Moon?

Frequently Asked Questions
The comets and meteorites continuously bombard the surface of the Moon. Many of these objects contain water and as a result of their impact may leave water molecules on the lunar surface. Solar wind hydrogen bombarding the lunar surface continuously may also lead to production of water molecule through interaction with oxygen present in the lunar soils. Due to solar heating much of this water evaporate and lost into space very fast.

What formats does Atmosphere import/Can I add my own samples?

Spectrasonics - Atmosphere FAQs
Atmosphere is a virtual sound module, not a sampler. It doesn't import or load samples other than its own core library. The interface and software exist to manipulate this particular sound set and because of this, we have been able to keep the interface very streamlined and easy to use. There are many good options for software samplers to import and load AKAI sample libraries or AIFF/WAV/SF2 files, etc.

Why is Saturn's moon Titan the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere?

FAQ: Cassini, Saturn and Titan - cassini-huygens - 04 Septem...
Some other moons have faint traces of gas above their surfaces, but Titan is the only one with a proper atmosphere. It is several times' denser than Earth's, and made mostly of nitrogen and methane. It is thought that all large bodies in the solar system once had an atmosphere, but in most cases it soon leaked away into space. Titan, however, has relatively powerful gravity, helping it to hold onto its gas.

If the moon isn't proof God has a sense of humor, maybe it's Nature's way of guaranteeing the preservation of the species. If all life followed a solar pattern all the time, it would be as easy for coyotes to wipe out all the rabbits as it would be for man to wipe out all the coyotes. But, for one reason or another the bass, deer and field mice suddenly stop following a solar pattern and seem to virtually disappear.

Question: If the moon is big, does it mean it is a second day moon?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MOON-SIGHTING
Answer: As most of us know, the moon goes through several phases. The months of the Islamic Calendar are based on sighting of the new moon every month. In Astronomy, a new moon means "when the moon of the previous month disappears (i.e. the moon goes from a slightly visible crescent to a completely black sphere that is impossible to be seen)." Remember, new moon is dark and invisible. About 17-23 hours after the new moon, a thin crescent becomes visible on earth; this is visible new moon.

How does our atmosphere block infrared radiation from space?

The James Webb Space Telescope
Only certain parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (all light ranging from gamma ray to radio waves) can make it to the Earth's surface. Our atmosphere absorbs much of this light. Visible light, radio waves and a few small ranges of infrared wavelengths do make it through. Gamma rays, X-rays and most of the ultraviolet rays and infrared rays do not. This is why infrared telescopes are placed on high, dry mountains (like Mauna Kea in Hawaii) so that they can observe more infrared radiation.

How does pressure in the atmosphere change with vertical elevation?

AVE - FAQ
The pressure in the atmosphere decreases with height. Pressure is essentially the weight per unit area of the overlying air. Pressure decreases from approximately 101 kPa at the earth's surface to 10 kPa at the 16 km level.

How does temperature in the atmosphere change with vertical elevation?

AVE - FAQ
The temperature in the lower part of the atmosphere (the troposphere) decreases as elevation increases. The average temperature decreases from 15?C at the bottom of the atmosphere to -60?C at the top of the troposphere. The lower part of the atmosphere in which temperature decreases with height is called the troposphere. The height of the troposphere ranges from 18 km in the tropics to 12 km near the poles. The rate of temperature decrease with height is called the lapse rate.

Does Mars have an atmosphere?

Mars
Yes, but not a very thick one. The air pressure on Mars varies from about 1 millibar at the tops of its highest mountains to 15 millibars at the bottoms of the deepest craters. By comparison, Earth's atmosphere has a pressure of 1000 millibars at sea level. Thus, the air on Mars is there, but it is so thin that you couldn't breathe it even if it were oxygen. for the actual composition of the atmosphere: it is 95.3% carbon dioxide (CO2), 2.7% nitrogen (N2), 1.6% argon (Ar), and 0.

How thick does the ice have to be?

Backyard Ice Rink - Frequently Asked Questions
A minimum of 2'' (two inches) for the ice to stay solid and hold the weight of a 300lb person. For the municipal rinks, we recommend at least 3'' (three inches). NO! Neither the PVC tubing nor the specially composed polyethylene liner will affect the grass. The grass is dormant during the winter. The only way the grass is ruined is if you leave the plastic liner on the ground too long after the winter is over.

NASA - What is the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV)?
The moon also provides opportunities to develop technologies and techniques needed for opening the space frontier. It allows us to learn how to survive long term stays on other worlds while only three days travel time from Earth. This will build confidence that we can stay on the surface of another planet for longer periods of time and ultimately venture to Mars. And of course, it provides opportunities to conduct fundamental science such as astrobiology and geology.

Where does the local weather information come from and what areas/cities does it cover?

Trueweather Technical Support
Error #267; I am trying to reinstall the app, but cannot get it to reinstall on Windows XP. This problem can usually be solved by sending the user the application. The problem that you are having was caused by a leftover install in your Temp directory. This is caused when a program installed previously was not designed to (or had a problem when it tried to) remove its install items that were placed in the Temp directory after the program was installed.
