Rahul gives unsolicited advice

                 Here's the presentation I gave today as part of my Atmospheric science course. I talked on interesting atmospheric phenomenon observed on the other planets/moons on the solar system, specifically the conditions on Venus and Jupiter. The slides on their own do not impart much of what I wanted to convey and I do not have the time to add more detail to them making them easier to read! I wish I had more time to go through all of the extraterrestrial atmospheres in the solar system, THAT would make a good series of posts! And probably throw a lot more interesting questions in my face! But for now, here's the presentation. I will post the report that goes hand in hand with the presentation, that should be a lot more detailed if you're really interested. Sigh, I should've added references properly!

I usually have a topic already in mind when I start writing these daily posts but I don't have anything in my head right now. I could talk about the weird atmospheric phenomenon that are observed on planets in the solar system. Starting from Mercury all the way till Neptune, each of the solar system planets have unique atmospheric conditions. Venus is the hottest of them all, hotter than Mercury is though further away from the Sun thanks to all of the green house gases in it's atmosphere(global warming scare!!!). The planet takes 225 days to go around the sun but it takes almost 243 days to go around itself i.e orbit itself. Winds as strong as 300 kmph have been observed on the planet. You can start here to know more about Venus. But Venus isn't the only planet with fast winds. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, all of the gaseous, outer system planets are known to have fast(er) winds. Jupiter, in addition, has an extremely large cyclone known as the Giant Red Spot, b...

As I mentioned earlier, as part of a course on Atmospheric Sciences, I need to make a report and do a presentatjon of a topic that I find interesting. Instead of choosing from the predefined choices, I chose to talk about the interesting atmospheric phenomenon that are seen in solar-system planets. In fact, some of the most extreme temperatures simulated in labs are day to day conditions on planets. Winds on Venus are as fast as 300kmph, the surface temperature of Venus is ~700K, there is a ginormous hurricane in Jupiter that has been alive for over 100 years, as we know it and there's black ice on earth. I was doing a literature survey yesterday and I came across multiple phenomenon that I hadn't heard of earlier such as titan, a moon of Jupiter, having winds as fast as Venus. I also read that Jupiter's big red sopt is growing smaller day by day. And that Venus takes longer to orbit itself than it takes to orbit the sun. Again, sorry for the broken lineage, I am trying to...
