Given atmospheric composition, density and scale height, planetary radius, and escape velocity, what is the lapse rate?
+0
−0
My planet
Mass = 0.602 MEarth
Radius = 0.870 REarth
Density = 5.04 g/cm3
vesc = 9.3 km/s
Temperature = 272 K
My atmosphere
74.84% N2
22.04% O2
1.38% CH4
1.25% Ar
0.27% H2O
0.11% CO2
Molecular mass = 28.88
Rspecific = 287.90
Density at sea level = 1.18 kg/m3
Pressure at sea level = 0.91 atm
Scale height = 10013.78 m
Trying to find cp values, will edit them in if I find them.
This is all to determine if my atmosphere is realistically gonna be retained, and eventually to find the altitude of my tropopause.
