This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Group 57, The amount of heat absorbed by the atmosphere and the planet's surface Which plays a role in Temperature, Why doesn't Mars have a runaway greenhouse effect? Why has Venus got no water? Mars Weak Gravity, Cold This is because No Runaway Greenhouse Effect, Albedo = 0.59 Which alters The amount of solar and terrestrial radiation which is reflected, Cold Vapour: CO2, N2, Ar Atmosphere, Distance from Sun affect Temperature, Pressure Very High - 90 times pressure of Earth but CO2 unable to absorb sunlight efficiently at this pressure 95-96% Carbon Dioxide, Why doesn't Mars have a runaway greenhouse effect? Why has Venus got no water? Mars None, Hot +480 degrees Temperature, Thin weak Atmosphere, The amount of solar and terrestrial radiation which is reflected Which affects The amount of heat absorbed by the atmosphere and the planet's surface, Why doesn't Mars have a runaway greenhouse effect? Why has Venus got no water? Mars Surface: iron rich materials, desert, no vegetation, Atmospheric gases trap infrared light and heats surface in the form of Long-wave radiation, Why doesn't Mars have a runaway greenhouse effect? Why has Venus got no water? Mars Water, Why doesn't Mars have a runaway greenhouse effect? Why has Venus got no water? Venus Thick, Weak Gravity Small size, None ???? Magnetic Field, Thick strong Atmosphere, Why doesn't Mars have a runaway greenhouse effect? Why has Venus got no water? Mars Thin, No Runaway Greenhouse Effect How does the Greenhouse Effect Work ? Atmospheric gases trap infrared light and heats surface
