(a) The probability that a molecule in the atmosphere is at a height between z and z + dz above the surface of the Earth is
proportional to e-z/A dz (capital Greek lambda). Determine the constant of proportionality. Sketch this distribution.

Interstellar space is quite different from the gaseous environments we commonly encounter on Earth. For instance, a typical density of the medium is about 1 atom cm−3 and that atom is typically H; the effective temperature due to stellar background radiation is about 10 kK. Estimate the diffusion coefficient and thermal conductivity of H under these conditions. Compare your answers with the values for gases under typical terrestrial conditions. Comment: Energy is in fact transferred much more effectively by radiation.
