I mean how much could Earth hold onto with gravity and insolation at present levels. There's an equation (or set of equations) for this, but I can't remember what they are. Al

How dense could Earth's atmosphere potentially be, as opposed to how dense it is now? Assume that Earth's mass and position in the solar system do not change. Al

It is, if you can detail how the molecule/molecular formula will absorb/retransmit incoming photons. Al

Heat? Not trying to be flip, but as energy is added/subtracted to a particle it therefore becomes more energetic and is both more likely to collide with another particle and do so more energetically. If energy-density drops, so should the quantity of energy available at any given...

If I understand the question correctly, what you're witnessing is a phenomenon known as parallax. You have two eyes, which each see things at a somewhat different angle with respect to each other as they are located at two different places in your head. If you close one, the view through...

Great find, I know almost nothing about plasma physics. Thanks. Al

He does however have a book on the subject, linked to below. http://pantheon.yale.edu/~rshankar/" Al
