Right now, the temperature of the Earth is pretty much perfect for humans, at around 13.9 degrees Celsius, or 57 degrees Fahrenheit.Yes, that is much lower than "room temperature," which is around ...

An image created using satellite data showing an atmospheric river hitting the West Coast on January 4, 2023. The long blue plume is the river, funneling extreme amounts of precipitation to the coast.

GOT A QUESTION FOR TOM? Ask him here! Dear Tom, What is the highest temperature ever recorded in the Earth’s atmosphere? I have read that a reading of higher than 3,500 degrees is possible in… ...

Exceptional stratospheric contribution to human fingerprints on atmospheric temperature. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2023; 120 (20) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2300758120 Cite This Page : ...

The average temperature at Jezero Crater is a chilly minus 67 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 55 degrees Celsius). Mars' weather is proving to be turbulent and diverse over the Perseverance rover's ...

Antarctica could see a doubling of extreme weather events—such as atmospheric rivers—by 2100, with implications for future sea level rise. Soil moisture is a key regulator of temperature and ...

That accidental temperature buffer might not stay in place forever. Though atmospheric dust concentrations have risen since the pre-industrial age, they peaked in the 1980’s and have declined since.

New data shows that CO2 levels have broken through 430 parts per million, an indication that human-caused global warming will ...

By the 1970s, researchers were measuring those emissions in the atmosphere and warning Earth’s temperature could warm between 0.5 and 5 degrees Celsius by the mid-21st century.
