Page about Atmosphere. This is a work in progress.

An '''atmosphere''' is a gaseous layer that envelops an astronomical object. The [[Planets|planetary body]] (object) retains the atmosphere if its [[gravity]] is strong enough with a low atmospheric temperature. The outer region of a [[Stars|star]] is a stellar atmosphere. The [[Life Support]] module provides a breathable atmosphere inside a [[Ships|ship]].


A catalog all different types of atmospheres and colorization of each atmosphere in the game currently.
[[Earth]]'s atmosphere is composed of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), argon (0.9%), carbon dioxide (0.04%) and trace gases.<ref name=":0">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere Atmosphere - Wikipedia - 19 June 2024]</ref> Most organisms breathe in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide. The atmospheric layers protect organisms from ultraviolet radiation, solar winds, sunlight and cosmic rays.<ref name=":0" />


Silicate vapour (Super Rare) Seems to only be present on Metal rich worlds.

|Helium
|Helium atmospheres are rare - less than 0.6% of landable atmospherics. There's a lot of variation in helium atmospheres - they're often far from the stars and very dark, but they can be quite beautiful.

== Development ==
[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|ED: Odyssey]] added landable [[planets]] and [[moons]] with tenuous atmospheres in 2021. The [[Stellar Forge]] was upgraded with: ''"use of a new Physically Based Rendering system throughout the game gives stars a new "light". Different planets' atmospheres will have different colours based on their primary composition. For example atmosphere colours/types: red, yellow, green, blue, lots of shades. Raleigh scattering for light refraction based on the star light's wavelength and planet atmosphere density. Mie scattering for light absorption based on atmosphere elements and composition. Oxygen, Argon, Neon, etc. absorb light differently. This produces a huge variety of visual possibilities."''<ref name=":31">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/mzrvwt/quick_notes_from_livestream_discovery_scanner_w/ reddit: Quick Notes from Livestream - Discovery Scanner: w/ Piers Jackson & Dr Kay Ross. - 27 April, 2021.]</ref>


Update on Oxygen Atmospheres.
== Trivia ==
* The word 'atmosphere' comes from the Ancient Greek word ''<nowiki/>'atmós'<nowiki/>'' (ἀτμός) which means 'steam, vapour', and the Greek word '<nowiki/>''sphaîra''' (σφαῖρα) which means 'sphere'.


Ive found a alt colorization of the atmosphere from the typical.

You mean Helium. Also, helium atmospheres are rare - less than 0.6% of landable atmospherics.
 
Also, there's a lot of variation in helium atmospheres - they're often far from the stars and very dark, but they can be quite beautiful if you catch a good one.
 
 
Update on (Aragon rich) found alt color.
