re: There is a word
In what I wrote that has a very profound meaning, unfortunately it only has two letters in it and therefore is very easy to miss.
The word is “IF“, you notice that, that word is there to indicate the possibility or the extrapolation of the condition that may happen in a gaseous environment.
Take the combined gas law that states: pV/T= C, now figure out what “C†is for the planet’s atmosphere, then reduce the value of “p†and observe what must happen to “Vâ€, “T†or both. You already have the value for “C†which must remain the same.
There are other formulas that will give you more detailed information, but this simple calculation should indicate the principle that I am trying to convey.
