lyx2no replied with :
"The gasses of the thermosphere are so tenuous and any separated hydrogen is so kinetically energetic there is nearly nothing to stop it from being lost to space."
So i asked why Jupiter and Saturn have such a gaseous atmosphere
To which lyx2no replied:
- They do get lost to space.
- They have more of it to lose.
- They are much farther from the Sun and consequent solar wind reducing the loss.
- They both have much deeper gravitational wells slowing the loss.
Anglagard disagreed because she did not read my post correctly. I said nothing about hydrogen and oxygen not creating energy...I said they "dont just combine to create WATER, without vast amounts of energy"
And you are wrong. THis is why hydrogen is so flammable. Because it combines
very readily with oxygen.
it seems to be what you are saying here
No.
Percy's point is not that it takes vast amounts of
energy to get hydrogen and oxygen to combine to make water --- a single spark will do --- but that to produce any useful amount of water we'd require vast amounts of
hydrogen Which we don't have.
