Planet collision simulations give clues to atmospheric loss from moon’s origin – Phys.org
Earth could have lost anywhere between ten and 60 percent of its atmosphere in the collision that is thought to have formed the Moon.
Earth could have lost anywhere between ten and 60 percent of its atmosphere in the collision that is thought to have formed the Moon.
New research led by Durham University, UK, shows how the extent of atmospheric loss depends upon the type of giant impact with the Earth.
Researchers ran more than 300 supercomputer simulations to study the consequences that different huge collisions have on rocky planets with thin atmospheres.
Their findings have led to the development of a new way to predict …
