An atmosphere is a layer or layers of gases that surrounds a material body in space [Source]. The body must be of sufficient mass and gravity to keep the gases from escaping into space. An atmosphere can also mean the gases trapped in an artificial pressurized habitat (paraterraforming).

  • An atmosphere is a layer or layers of gases that surrounds a material body in space [Source]. The body must be of sufficient mass and gravity to keep the gases from escaping into space. An atmosphere can also mean the gases trapped in an artificial pressurized habitat (paraterraforming).
  • The troposphere is the lowest of four distinct layers of atmosphere. The ionosphere is one of the highest layers. The atmosphere of the planetoid Darien 224 was sufficiently volatile that it precluded the use of transporters and allowed intermittent communications at best. Because of this, in the year 2254, the Federation starship USS Enterprise was forced to fly into the atmosphere to get close enough to retrieve a landing party on the surface before the planet's surface was destroyed following the firing of a psionic weapon. (EV - Cloak and Dagger comic: "Part 2")
  • An atmosphere was a gaseous envelope surrounding planets, such as Earth. Space had no atmosphere, so people needed to wear spacesuits when in outer space. (TV: Enlightenment)
  • The Atmosphere of the Earth consists mainly of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon and Carbon dioxide. Increased carbon dioxide and increased methane leads to Global warming. The atmosphere has different layers, the lowest layer is called the troposphere and is where Humans, Animals and Plants live. The troposphere is also where clouds, Rain and all weather systems happen. (The biosphere is similar to the troposhpere but includes the Earth's surface, also lakes, rivers, Seas and Oceans, and even a bit of the upper atmosphere, anywhere where there are living things.) The upper atmosphere above the troposphere is also important because it shields life from harmful radiation and man made pollutants have reduced its ability to do that.
  • The atmosphere of Earth protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet radiation, and warming the surface with heat. It consists of 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and the remaining one percent is a mixture of argon, vapor, carbon dioxide, and other small gases. The atmosphere is also where the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station orbits.

  • The Atmosphere is caused by the perception the differant components of a place and the analysis of its components through emotions. This concept is highly used in the visual arts and in fantastic litterature.
  • An Atmosphere is the area around a cosmic object. It is made up of gases held in by means of gravity. There are two types of Atmospheres: Stellar Atmosphere, and Planetary Atmosphere. There are atmospheres on other planets as well, but the term atmosphere in this article, unless other wise noted, defines the Earth’s Atmoshpere. Because the Atmosphere is held by gravity it can be thick enough the atmosphere forces pressure onto objects. This force gives us information on how to predict weather, how strong Hurricanes are, and just where low and high pressure is.
  • Atmosphere is an American hip hop band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The members are rapper Slug (born Sean Daley, September 7, 1972) and DJ/producer Ant (born Anthony Davis). Active in various forms since 1993, they are one of the most commercially successful and long-lived ndependent hip hop acts.
  • The term stellar atmosphere is used for the outer region of a star, and typically includes the portion starting from the opaque photosphere outwards. Relatively low-temperature stars may form compound molecules in their outer atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere, which contains oxygen used by most organisms for respiration and carbon dioxide used by plants, algae and cyanobacteria for photosynthesis, also protects living organisms from genetic damage by solar ultraviolet radiation. Its current composition is the product of billions of years of biochemical modification of the paleoatmosphere by living organisms.
  • Atmospheres were collections of gases that surrounded a celestial body that possessed sufficient mass, and therefore sufficient gravity, to hold it. Examples included many planets, moons, and large asteroids. Almost all species in the Galaxy needed some form of atmosphere to breathe. During the height of the Galactic Empire's colonial period, a system of classification for atmospheres was established. This system, which was afterward adopted by nearly all subsequent governments in the Galaxy, separates atmospheres into four distinct categories:
  • The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is an international reference pressure defined as 101325 Pa and formerly used as a unit of pressure. For practical purposes it has been replaced by the bar which is 105 Pa. The difference of about 1% is not significant for many applications, and is within the error range of common pressure gauges.
  • An atmosphere is a gaseous envelope surrounding planets, such as Earth and Valux. Húmans can't breathe the atmosphere on Valux, as Brian and Sophie noted among other reasons humans were incompatible with the planet after telling the Barkers they couldn't come with them to Valux. (Aliens Go Home)
  • Some alien races do not need air to breathe, in fact, Superman and other Kryptonians, as long as they are under a yellow sun, either don't need to breathe, or they can hold their breath for a long period of time. Doctor Curum told Superman that the air at the launch site of Mars 1 was carefully analyzed, and it had been determined that it couldn't have been the cause for the people there to shrink. While in the South Atlantic, Doctor Hiram Gulliver told his cat, Igor, who was with him in the boat, that there's nothing like a little "salt air."
  • Following the death of lead singer Ian Curtis in May 1980, "Atmosphere" was released as a double A-sided single with "She's Lost Control". "Atmosphere" was the A-side for the UK release but the B-side for the US release. "She's Lost Control" is an alternate version from the one that appears on the debut album Unknown Pleasures. The single was re-released in 1988 to coincide with the release of the compilation album Substance. Peter Hook formerly of Joy Division has said he regards the song as the band's greatest.
  • "Atmosphere" is a song by the band Joy Division. It was originally released on 18 March 1980[2] as a France-only single under the title Licht und Blindheit(german for "Light and Blindness"). It was limited to 1578 copies[3] and had "Dead Souls" as the B-side. Following the death of lead singer Ian Curtis in May 1980, "Atmosphere" was released as a double A-sided single with "She's Lost Control". "Atmosphere" was the A-side for the UK release but the B-side for the US release. "She's Lost Control" is an alternate version from the one that appears on the debut albumUnknown Pleasures.
