Nitrogen Isotopes | Springer Nature Link (formerly SpringerLink)

The dominant fraction of nitrogen observed in the planetary solid materials or N-rich terrestrial rocks is trapped as chemically active nitrogen-bearing compounds. The

Nitrogen isotope variations in the Solar System

The relative proportion of the two isotopes of nitrogen, 14 N and 15 N, varies dramatically across the Solar System, despite little variation on Earth.

Is There Nitrogen in Space? Where It''s Found & Why It Matters

Within our own solar system, nitrogen is a significant component of many planetary atmospheres. Earth''s atmosphere is composed of approximately 78% nitrogen gas

Molecules in the solar system

Of these, hydrogen is by far the most abundant element in the solar system and in the universe. The sun is mostly made of hydrogen. (In the sun, it''s just hydrogen nuclei and electrons, not

New Insights Into How Earth Got Its Nitrogen | News | Astrobiology

New research by Rice University shows that Earth''s nitrogen came from both inner and outer regions of the disk that formed our solar system, contrary to earlier theory.

Discovering the Atmosphere on Different Planets

These elements were likely blown from the surface of Mercury by the solar wind. The atmosphere of Venus is composed mainly of carbon dioxide with minor amounts of nitrogen and trace

Nitrogen Atmospheres of the Icy Bodies in the Solar System

This brief review will discuss the current knowledge on the origin and evolution of the nitrogen atmospheres of the icy bodies in the solar system, particularly of Titan, Triton and

Nitrogen isotope variations in the Solar System

Molecules in the solar system

The sun, the planets, and everything else in the solar system is made of atoms (or, sometimes, ions, which are atoms that have more or fewer electrons than usual).

Nitrogen

Because of the volatility of nitrogen compounds, nitrogen is relatively rare in the solid parts of the Earth. It was first discovered and isolated by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772 and
