What are planetary winds?

Answer 1

The term planetary winds can be defined in different ways:

--Planetary wind can refer to any wind system of the earth's atmosphere which owes its existence and direction to solar radiation and to the rotation of the earth.

--Planetary wind can refer to major winds that affect great portions of the earth rather than just local winds.

--Planetary wind can also refer to gas loss from a planet into space, when the hydrodynamic wind in the upper portion of the planet's atmosphere allows light chemical elements to move up to the exobase. Those gases can then achieve escape velocity.

Answer 2

Planetary winds are global scale wind systems that are influenced by the rotation of the Earth. These winds move in specific patterns due to the Coriolis effect, resulting in the creation of distinct wind belts such as the trade winds and the westerlies. They play a key role in distributing heat and moisture around the globe.

Answer 3

Wind of some sort occurs on every planet in the solar system except for Mercury, which essentially has no atmosphere.

Answer 4

the types of planetary winds are

1) Trade Winds

2) Westerlies

3) Polar Easterlies

4) Jet and EI Nino

Answer 5

That refers to gases gradually escaping from an atmosphere, into outer space.

Answer 6

The Coriolis effect.
