Definitions and quotes

Atmosphere
An atmosphere (from Greek ἀτμός (atmos), meaning 'vapour', and σφαῖρα (sphaira), meaning 'sphere') is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body. An atmosphere is more likely to be retained if the gravity it is subject to is high and the temperature of the atmosphere is low.
Increasing the thermal efficiency of fossil power plants is a promising way to decrease fuel consumption and emissions and minimise global climate change. A new steel alloy promises to do just that for major global benefits.
