RE: Why is there air?
Title: RE: Why is there air? -Original Message- From: Maser, Donna (SEA) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I am still waiting/hoping for an answer... Why IS there air? The solar nebula which formed the solar system was composed of a gas cloud rich in volatiles (aka primordial gases). One portion of the this cloud became dense enough to attract by gravitation the particles around it, and hey presto, the sun was formed. As material in the gas cloud surrounding the sun cooled, chunks of rock formed the planets. These chunks of rock, if large enough, would accumulate an atmosphere if the volatile gases surrounding them were cool enough. The escape velocity for Earth is approximately 11 kilometres per second, so any gas molecules passing near the earth at a lower speed would have been captured and remained to form the earth's atmosphere. Additionally, some volatiles adhering to the surface of the solid particles gathering to form the Earth would have been incorporated into the solid planet, and those are occasionally released in the atmosphere by outgassing (e.g. volcanoes, submarine hydrothermal vents). Finally, some people propose that components of the Earth's atmosphere may have been delivered through impact with solid bodies (similar to comets) enriched in volatile materials. That's only the tip of the iceberg. Should I continue? :-) (thank you to my high school physics teacher and to Encylopedia Britannica) -- Jacques R.

If there wasn't, we'd all explode like someone jettisoned into space for cheap thrills in the sci-fi movie of your choice. Also, the oceans would vaporize. This means the fish would be in for a pretty bad day as well, and there would be no water to clean up the mess made by the 6 billion exploding people.

RE: Why is there air?
Jared, I wholeheartedly agree that this forum is invaluable for its technical focus and intend to promote and support it as such. Perhaps there have been a few too many Off Topic postings lately. However, as wonderful and multi-faceted as the Oracle RDBMS and its inherent challenges may be, sometimes a little "horse-play" helps solidify our "community" as well. Actually, it seems to me that most everyone who's made OT postings has more than offset that with purely technical ones. My personal posting ratio is about 4 OT to 13 Technical over the past couple of weeks. Heck, with our stock portfolios in the tank, reduced Net Worth, layoffs everywhere, and the most miserable pollen season in Austin that I can remember, we need a bit of fun! Anyway, I'll wipe the silly grin off my face, tuck my shirt back in, sit down, stop passing notes, and get back to work. But it's been a blast! Jack Jack C.
