You missed my point as well as Elizabeth. Perhaps I am being to metaphysical today. I was merely trying to point out the difference between what some may call living and what some may call dead when talking about a living entity. In other words, I was trying to point out the uniqueness of Gaia and how things are interrelated. The body has capacitance, would you describe the human body as simple a "capacitor".Langley wrote:I think you're best deductions would be better than mine,Mikado14 wrote:What I read is that the different layers of rotation in different directions make up a spherical capacitor which has been theroretically talked about along with relationships of coriolis.
So, is the atmosphere of the planet part of the planet? If the atmosphere were stripped away from the planet, would the system still be there as described? or does it take all the parts to make the whole?
Does the moon have this?
Mikado
however, only planets with an active magnetic field (actively being
generated by core action) have atmospheres and the same inter relation
to the sun with the geo dynamo stuff.
Planets without the magnetic field have no protection from the solar
wind so their atmospheres get stripped away. the moon is dead in the regard
So is Mars. death of the geodynamo = end of the magnetic field end of
atmosphere. Death of the planetary biosphere.
Least thats how I understand it.
Sorry Langley, sorry Elizabeth. I should have been clearer.
