Atmosferes

Submitted by Dark-newkie on Fri, 2007-05-04 08:14. Space Empires V General

Hey i was thinking in a thing. planetes with co2 in atmospere are red, like mars, not green, and planetes whith metane atmosfere are realy hard to exist because metane is created by life beings, what means the will be rare. for be more realyst, this atmosfere must be change for argon or nitrogen.

planets can also change atmosferes naturaly, (co2->o2, o2->Co2) that cam be a "nice" bad event.

That's not correct. Mars appears red because of the iron oxides in the surface... not due to CO2 in its atmosphere. Venus is a planet with 97% CO2 in its atmosphere and is primarily brown. Also, methane is produced by many non-biological processes. Saturn's moon Titan is an example of a planet that has an atmosphere with a relatively large methane content.

Nitrogen is more or less inert and can be considered a filler component of atmosphere - I guess you can say that the SE series focuses on the active components?

Didn't SE III have Argon atmospheres? Well ok, that was a decade ago ^^;;

Playing Touhou games (Go here if interested . No, nobody else is that good/insane as that replay). No rush for SE V bug fixing.

The oxygen in Earth's atmosphere was pretty much all released (not "created" - it was created in stars) by organic processes, so there's no reason a methane atmosphere could not be formed by primitive creatures and allow the evolution of more complex life forms.

Argon is a noble gas, and basically chemically inert, so can't really be the active component in a breathable atmosphere. I'm not particularly convinced of the likelihood of Carbon Dioxide being the active component in an atmosphere either, but that may be my "human-centric" view of CO2 as a waste product. I know plants utilise CO2, but plants were out-evolved by oxygen breathers.

Mars are red because of iron? well i should stop play this game some times and go read something... ahuahu

but "planets can also change atmosferes naturaly, (co2->o2, o2->Co2) that cam be a "nice" bad event." still sound good.

Yeah but its not a complete change is it? The trees suck in Co2 and spit out oxygen. Living creatures suck in the oxygen, and breath out the Co2. It doesnt completely change the atomosphere, evan with the amount of CO2 we are pumping out, Evan after Global warming, It would be pretty impossible for us to completly pump so much co2 into the air that there wouldnt be any oxygen....Earth really isn't a "Oxygen" atmosphere: While it does have primarily Oxygen, It also has loads of other gases present. Thats the thing about space empires: The atmospheres aren't completely pure....
