Our earth is raining, and other planets have diamonds?

On the earth, we think about the ever -changing weather. No matter how heavy the rainstorms, how many fierce Blizzard, and even the hail of our heads, they are just a form of water from the atmosphere to the ground.

So when you imagine that other planets are raining, the picture in your head is probably "water", but this is a small error with the originality -the earth is the only planet with liquid water. It is not water to fall.

If it wasn't for the water circulation, it can only be "wandering the earth"

What is discussed here is "clouds drop water". The planet wants to have the clouds and the atmosphere. If you don't have the atmosphere like the moon, don't think about it. Other planets do have clouds falling, but the things that fall in the sky are outrageous than one.

I quit group chat first

01

Diamond rain

If you live on Saturn, after that heavy rain, you will become a rich man.

A report published in BBC News mentioned that about 1,000 tons of diamonds falling on Saturn every year like rain each year. Some dazzling diamonds "raindrops" can exceed 1 cm in diameter, which is equivalent to a large 15.4 carat diamond.

Walk! Go to Saturn to get married

Stopping the hand of luggage to Saturn, the existing technology of human beings can not support you to collect diamonds on Saturn.

Saturn is a giant giant star, mainly composed of hydrogen, and a small amount of 氦. There is a rich methane in the atmosphere. The component in the air has decreased to form graphite. Due to the great pressure in the air, the graphite is squeezed by the superb pressure to form a brilliant crystal crystal carbon, which is the diamond.

True "qi" bulging

However, the temperature of Saturn's core is as high as 11700 ° C, and the diamonds have melted into a pastel liquid before falling to the ground (there is no land at all). Diamond rain only has no marks in the air, we can't pick up at all.

And inside the Jupiter who can press the graphite into diamonds, people go to paper.

In addition to Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter and some other planets will also set up romantic diamond rain, but Saturn has the best condition to generate diamond rain.

The lightning storm and high temperature of the Saturn ten times per second are better at decomposing methane molecules in the atmosphere, so that the carbon atoms are freely separated from the floating air, and the ground is shining to the ground.

Let's dream, there are everything in my dreams

Methane rain

And on Saturn's largest satellite, Tutuang, you can see the cold methane heavy rain.

Tuwei VI, English name Titan, so, also known as Titan Star, is the largest one of the satellites running around Saturn and the second largest satellite in the solar system.

Titan in Titan does mean "big"

Unlike Saturn, because the surface temperature of Tuwei VI is extremely low, it is about 179 degrees Celsius, methane exists here in the form of liquid.

The methane is like the water on the earth. There will be seasonal methane rainfall here. These methane rainfall will supplement the methane evaporated in the lake. The evaporative methane will rise to the clouds and re -become rainfall.

After the weekly, a methane cycle similar to the earth's water circulation is formed.

Tuwei Liu is also the only celestial body that is found on the earth except the earth.

Sulfuric acid

Let's talk about a romantic one below. If you want to go to Venus, you must first pass the sulfuric acid.

There is a cloud layer composed of concentrated sulfuric acid with a thickness of 20-30 kilometers in the atmosphere of Venus. The "raindrops" formed by cold coagulation are concentrated sulfuric acid.

Venus itself is extremely inaccurate. Scientists have used the word "hell" to describe the surface environment of Venus. It has an average temperature of 480 degrees throughout the year, because the rotary track is almost round and basically not tilted, so there will be no four seasons, and the entire surface will always be in an extremely hot atmosphere.

The descending sulfur sulfur rain in the cloud layer was evaporated into a gas at a high temperature of about 25km from the surface, and it could not be dripped (no one thought).

So this Venus sulfuric acid imagination is just imagined

However, a special substance was also found on the Venus -hydrogen phosphate. In addition to artificial synthesis, hydrogen phosphate on the earth was discharged by phosphate by absorbing minerals or biomass. This may be the signal sent by the creatures on Venus.

In short, with the enhancement of human exploration ability, life on Venus is not--

These wonders are just a small part of other special weather on other planets. In addition, there are snow, liquid rain on Jupiter on Mars, and plasma rain on the sun.

Do you know which special weather on other planets?

The universe is so big, do you want to go and see
