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

단계별 가이드

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

풀어진 예시

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

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

  • Neglecting temperature gradient with altitude
  • Assuming steady escape rate

자주 묻는 질문

Does Mars still lose atmosphere?

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