Jeans escape describes atmospheric loss when molecular thermal velocity exceeds planet escape velocity, particularly important for light elements.

ステップバイステップガイド

  1. 1Input planet mass/radius, atmospheric temperature and composition
  2. 2Calculate escape velocity and thermal velocity
  3. 3Estimate atmospheric escape timescale

解いた例

入力
Earth H/He at 6000K exosphere
結果
H escapes easily, He slowly, O/N retain
Why Earth lost primordial atmosphere

避けるべきよくある間違い

  • Neglecting temperature gradient with altitude
  • Assuming steady escape rate

よくある質問

Does Mars still lose atmosphere?

Yes, slowly; weak gravity and solar wind accelerate loss.
