It's time for some more Bad YouTube Science. There's a very popular short that asks, why don't we cover the sahara desert with solar panels? In the video, they make three major claims. The first is they would produce enough energy for 96 earths. This assumes 100% efficient solar panels, which simply don't exist. A more realistic and excepted figure is 4 times our current needs, not 96. The second claim, is just bizarre, they claim solar panels would make the Sahara colder, but black absorbs more sunlight, not less. Every child that's walked barefoot on asphalt in summer knows this. The final claim, about Africa becoming lush is just wild speculation. Folks, if it sounds too good to be true, it's probably just clickbait BS According to World Wise: Why Don't We Cover The Sahara Desert With Solar Panels? it could generate 2.5 million terawatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to power 96 Earths. However, The installation would have severe consequences, disrupting the climatic cycle and causing the Sahara to become cold. Increased rainfall in the desert could lead to massive ocean cyclones and the Amazon rainforest turning into a desert. In fact, it has been observed that Rainfall in Sahara desert causes drought in Amazon region, while lack of rainfall in Sahara accelerates Amazon's growth. It may seem like the two regions are worlds apart, but Nasa's Calipso satellite has uncovered a surprising connection. Each year, around 182 million tons of sand dust flyes from the Sahara, and travels around 4300 kilometers over the Atlantic Ocean before falling on the Amazon rainforest. This dust carries a substantial amount of phosphorus, which is crucial for rainforest plants to thrive. It's not an exaggeration to say that there is an Amazon because there is a Sahara.

The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (78%) is atmospheric nitrogen, making it the largest source of nitrogen. However, atmospheric nitrogen has limited availability for biological use, leading to a scarcity of usable nitrogen in many types of ecosystems. The nitrogen cycle is of particular interest to ecologists because nitrogen availability can affect the rate of key ecosystem processes, including primary production and decomposition. Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, use of artificial nitrogen fertilizers, and release of nitrogen in wastewater have dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle. Human modification of the global nitrogen cycle can negatively affect the natural environment system and also human health. The terraforming of Mars or the terraformation of Mars is a hypothetical procedure that would consist of a planetary engineering project or concurrent projects, with the goal to transform Mars from a planet hostile to terrestrial life to one that can sustainably host humans and other lifeforms free of protection or mediation. The process would presumably involve the rehabilitation of the planet's extant climate, atmosphere, and surface through a variety of resource-intensive initiatives, and the installation of a novel ecological system or systems. Justifications for choosing Mars over other potential terraforming targets include the presence of water and a geological history that suggests it once harbored a dense atmosphere similar to Earth's. Hazards and difficulties include low gravity, low light levels relative to Earth's, and the lack of a magnetic field. Disagreement exists about whether current technology could render the planet habitable. Reasons for objecting to terraforming include ethical concerns about terraforming and the considerable cost that such an undertaking would involve. Reasons for terraforming the planet include allaying concerns about resource use and depletion on Earth and arguments that the altering and subsequent or concurrent settlement of other planets decreases the odds of humanity's extinction. Ceres (/ˈsɪəriːz/; minor-planet designation: 1 Ceres) is a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was the first asteroid discovered, on 1 January 1801, by Giuseppe Piazzi at Palermo Astronomical Observatory in Sicily and announced as a new planet. Ceres was later classified as an asteroid and then a dwarf planet – the only one orbiting entirely within Neptune's orbit. Ceres's small size means that even at its brightest, it is too dim to be seen by the naked eye, except under extremely dark skies. Its apparent magnitude ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking at opposition (when it is closest to Earth) once every 15- to 16-month synodic period. As a result, its surface features are barely visible even with the most powerful telescopes, and little was known about it until the robotic NASA spacecraft Dawn approached Ceres for its orbital mission in 2015. Dawn found Ceres's surface to be a mixture of water ice, and hydrated minerals such as carbonates and clay. Gravity data suggest Ceres to be partially differentiated into a muddy (ice-rock) mantle/core and a less dense but stronger crust that is at most 30% ice by volume. Although Ceres likely lacks an internal ocean of liquid water, brines still flow through the outer mantle and reach the surface, allowing cryovolcanoes such as Ahuna Mons to form roughly every fifty million years. This makes Ceres the closest known cryovolcanic body to the Sun, and the brines provide a potential habitat for microbial life. In January 2014, emissions of water vapour were detected around Ceres, creating a tenuous, transient atmosphere known as an exosphere. This was unexpected because vapour is usually a hallmark of comets, not asteroids. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNyooq1xpvM
