Time is out of joint on Venus. The planet’s thick air, which spins much faster than the solid globe, may push against the flanks of mountains and change Venus’ rotation rate. Computer simulations show ...

Researchers have detected a thick atmosphere around a planet called 55 Cancri e, which is twice as big as Earth and classified as a super Earth. The atmosphere of 55 Cancri e consists of carbon ...

There’s a mystery about Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, that has been puzzling astronomers for many years — where did its thick, nitrogen-rich atmosphere come from? Titan is the only moon in our Solar ...

A new Southwest Research Institute study tackles one of the greatest mysteries about Titan, one of Saturn’s moons: the origin of its thick, nitrogen-rich atmosphere. The study posits that one key to ...

A thick atmosphere has been detected around a planet that's twice as big as Earth in a nearby solar system, researchers reported Wednesday. The so-called super Earth — known as 55 Cancri e — is among ...

Titan may have a home-baked atmosphere. Saturn’s largest moon gets some of its thick atmosphere by cooking organic molecules in a warm core, a new study suggests. The decay of radioactive elements may ...

Researchers using NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope may have detected an atmosphere surrounding 55 Cancri e, a rocky exoplanet 41 light-years from Earth. This is the best evidence to date for a ...

SAN ANTONIO — The KENS 5 Weather Team is teaching lessons on weather while we are all at home, and on Monday, we talked about different layers of the atmosphere. Our atmosphere is divided into layers ...
