It says a biosphere is part of a planet's terrestrial structure. Isn't that to assume that only a planet "Earth-like" can hold life? -Adrian

It said nothing about size!!!!

[edit] Paragraph structure

What is this, "Cliffs Notes". What happened to writing in paragraphs? - Marshman 22:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Not trying to be difficult here, but the following seems more appropriate for Oceanography or the like and at best remotely pertinent here (which is sort of why we have hyperlinks):


[edit] Ocean and atmosphere connections

Oceanography is intimately linked to understanding global warming and other global environmental concerns.

Our planet is invested with two great oceans;
one visible, the other invisible; one underfoot, the other overhead; one entirely envelopes it, the other covers about two thirds of its surface.

Matthew F. Maury (1855) The Physical Geography of the Seas and Its Meteorology.

I moved it back here. Also, is that a quote (Maury, 1855) ?- Marshman 22:56, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] anyone know about this question?

What is biospher 1, and I want more than just the earth. qoute unqoute. that was my teachers words for a question can any of you help please?

YOU need to give it some thought (your assignment). When many people think of "earth" they think only that it refers to the physical structure of a planet. What is it about "earth" that would lead us to call it "biosphere 1"? What part of your answer might involve things outside of or beyond the earth? - Marshman

[edit] BIOS-3

Why was BIOS-3 numbered 3? Did the Soviets really fail to talk about it at all? I would have thought they would have been talking about it a lot since it appears to have been relatively successful. Or did the creators of BIOS-2 just not notice BIOS-3 when naming BIOS-2? Nil Einne 15:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
