Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 7 page report discusses the evolution of climate on the terrestrial planets. The idea of climate on the terrestrial planets is centered on the long-term effect of the sun's radiation on the rotating Earth’s, Venus’, and Mars’ varied surfaces and atmosphere. Climate is most easily understood in terms of annual or seasonal averages of temperature and precipitation. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
as an example, the climate determines the living conditions and survivability of the creatures that inhabit any particular area of the globe. Again using the earth as a frame
of reference, the climatic changes occurring within its atmosphere are certain to have a significant impact on virtually every aspect or category of life.
According to Dunn (1998), the great challenge of understanding earths climate is the complexity of the issue - climate change is occurring on a geological time
scale and outside the range of previous human experience. What is likely to best serve the understanding of climate on one of the terrestrial planets is to understand its origins,
its evolution, and its ongoing changes in as many aspects as possible. Because understanding is the foundation of action, such an effort may very well lead to better decisions
and public policies being made that ultimately serve the best interests of all inhabitants of this terrestrial planet. The sun, the planets, and
their atmospheres are generally believed to have condensed, about 4.6 billion years ago from a primitive solar nebula. The nebula is thought to have had the same composition as the
sun, mostly hydrogen and helium but with a small sprinkling of heavier elements. Hunten (1993) adds that oxides and hydrides of the heavier elements (rocks and ices) must have condensed
into particles and accreted to form the planets. The Jovian planets were able to retain a substantial amount of the gas as well, and their satellites and ring systems contain
ice as well as rock. The terrestrial planets are mostly rock with a small amount of the icy material, much of which appears in their atmospheres and the Earths ocean.
