ATMOSPHERIC EVOLUTION-COMPARATIVE PLANETOLOGY-1
• EARTH-Primary atmosphere (Gone) vs. secondary atmosphere (Needed). Oceans, require external source. Oxygen on Earth requires life. Nitrogen relatively inert.
• VENUS-Runaway Greenhouse Effect. Even if there were oceans, all water lost. See Fig. 6.34.

ASTR 101-3, FALL 2010 35
ATMOSPHERIC EVOLUTION-COMPARATIVE PLANETOLOGY-2
• MARS-May have been “Earth Like” in the past. Lost much of its atmosphere due to collisions and escape. With no Greenhouse Effect, the temperature dropped. Gases combined with the surface materials and perhaps froze out of the atmosphere.
