The Earth’s global circulation pattern, Hadley Cell circulation, is governed by its rotation and thermal convection. Other planets in our Solar System also have atmospheres, so what are their circulation patterns and climates like? Read about Venus, Mars, and Jupiter at NASA’s Solar System Exploration site. More information can be found at The Nine Planets site.

After reading these, pick ONE OF THE PLANETS LISTED ABOVE and post responses to ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS: What is your planet’s Coriolis forces like, in terms of strength and direction? How would you expect your planet’s global circulation patterns to compare with the Earth’s? Would there be the same number of cells? How would their surfaces affect global winds? What are seasons like on your planet?
