Hot air holds more moisture. That’s why you can blow your hair dry even after a steamy shower. It’s also what dumps rain in the tropics and sucks water from desert soils. A new study, published in ...

This story originally appeared on Yale Environment 360 and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. There is a paradox at the heart of our changing climate. While the blanket of air close to the ...

Astronomers have found an atmosphere where they least expected it: clinging to an exoplanet that’s too small, too hot and too old to have air, at least in theory. Observations by the James Webb Space ...

Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.

Researchers have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS, ...

Astronomers say that they have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect for the first time an atmosphere surrounding a rocky planet outside the Solar System. Although this planet cannot ...
