Flashcards
0/8
Neptune
Neptune's radio emissions come from its magnetosphere, which generates bursty and continuous emissions, sometimes associated with its moons.
Venus
Venus emits strong radio waves due to its high surface temperatures, caused by a runaway greenhouse effect.
Mars
Mars has weak radio emissions that mostly come from its thin atmosphere and occasional dust storms.
Saturn
Saturn's radio emissions are associated with its auroral activities and magnetic field, similar to Jupiter but weaker.
Uranus
Uranus has radio emissions that are linked with its magnetic field, which is unusually tilted relative to its rotation axis.
Earth
Earth emits a wide range of radio signals, from natural emissions, like lightning and auroral activity, to artificial signals from broadcast and communication technologies.
Jupiter
Jupiter is a strong source of radio emissions, particularly from its magnetic field which interacts with the volcanic moon Io to produce emission bursts.
Mercury
Mercury emits thermal radio emissions primarily from its hot, sunlit surface.
