  2. Biosphere model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_model

    The model is designed for use in atmospheric general circulation models, to account for the related climate attribution of the biosphere. [5] A revised version was published in 1996 and incorporates satellite measurements. [6] The Ent Dynamic Terrestrial Biosphere Model is a global vegetation model for use with the Earth System Modeling ...

  3. Historical models of the Solar System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_models_of_the...

    The ancient Hebrews, like all the ancient peoples of the Near East, believed the sky was a solid dome with the Sun, Moon, planets and stars embedded in it. [4] In biblical cosmology, the firmament is the vast solid dome created by God during his creation of the world to divide the primal sea into upper and lower portions so that the dry land could appear.

  4. Land surface models (climate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_surface_models_(climate)

    It has been suggested that "terrestrial biosphere models" (TBMs) is a more inclusive term than land surface models (LSMs). [4] The representation of roots in TBMs (or LSMs), however, remains relatively crude. Particularly, the dynamic functions of roots and phylogenetic basis of water uptake remain largely absent [5] [6] in LSMs.

  5. Earth analog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_analog

    The concept of the habitable zone (or Liquid Water Zone) defining a region where water can exist on the surface, is based on the properties of both the Earth and Sun. Under this model, Earth orbits roughly at the centre of this zone or in the "Goldilocks" position. Earth is the only planet currently confirmed to possess large bodies of surface ...

  6. Solar System model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System_model

    For example, the model of Jupiter was located in the cavernous South Station waiting area. The properly-scaled, basket-ball-sized model is 1.3 miles (2.14 km) from the model Sun which is located at the museum, graphically illustrating the immense empty space in the Solar System. The objects in such large models do not move.

  7. Super-Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-Earth

    Illustration of the inferred size of the super-Earth CoRoT-7b (center) in comparison with Earth and Neptune. A Super-Earth or super-terran or super-tellurian is a type of exoplanet with a mass higher than Earth, but substantially below those of the Solar System's ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, which are 14.5 and 17.1 times Earth's, respectively. [1]

  8. Superhabitable world - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhabitable_world

    The climate of a warmer and wetter terrestrial exoplanet may resemble that of the tropical regions of Earth. In the picture, mangrove in Cambodia. In general, the climate of a superhabitable planet would be warm, moist, and homogeneous, allowing life to extend across the surface without presenting large population differences.

  9. Biomimetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomimetics

    Biomimetics or biomimicry is the emulation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The terms "biomimetics" and "biomimicry" are derived from Ancient Greek : βίος ( bios ), life, and μίμησις ( mīmēsis ), imitation, from μιμεῖσθαι ( mīmeisthai ...
