Air atomsphere on aliens race

[Cardassian3279]

hi guys,

So I like to know or if you don't know about air atomsphere on the moon and planets.

what kind of air atomsphere on klingon, cardassian, vulcan, vaadwaur, other kind of aliens race on air atomsphere.

I know Vulcan from Mars right mean it is carbon dioxide right?

Any information.

Thank you,
Martyn

Vulcans aren't from Mars...they're from Vulcan...

And they all breathe oxygen...

 

[Cardassian3279]

I know that but the planet where vulcan look like Mars.

I thought Vulcan breathe carbon dixode.

that's odd

cheerio.

Do some research....

It's safe to assume that the aliens in the Trekverse that we see without breathing masks in earthlike environments (like Federation starships and bases) breathe pretty much the same air as humans. Pretty simple, really.

I agree. Also though in "AMOK TIME", it is stated that Vulcan does have a thinner oxygen content and stronger gravity than earth.

 

[Count Zero]

Yeah, there are bound to be some differences, that's why I said "pretty much the same air". If it was fundamentally different, they'd have to wear breathing masks and we have seen some aliens who do (I forget their names, though).

Problem to with Vulcan coming from Mars is the "air" pressure is only about 600 pascals, sea level on Earth is over a hundred thousand. Were Vulcans to have been from Mars, trying to breathe Earth normal air aboard the Enterprise would likely kill them. On the other hand, if Mars had Science Fiction air pressure, like Barsoom, then all would be fine.

As I understand it, in a very early concept of Spock, he was a red alien from Mars, there were make up tests with that color iirc Gene Roddenberry changed that pretty fast, but perhaps this is what you were thinking of?

Starting to think we have been had.

Astronomy has what's called a Goldylocks Zone. Perhaps the planet Vulcan fits at the inner edge of this zone with a different size star, so that even though Trek would call it an M class planet, it is difficult. Spock's Mother lived there and Kirk was on Vulcan once or twice. I think someone mentioned it would be like living in Death Valley all over the planet.

As far as any other M class planet, I assume they also fit in the Goldylocks zone.

The Benzites were one example. There were a few other species we saw in the Trek movies that were not named or explained, who also seemed to need masks.

I think you don't realize where the misunderstandings and grammatical issues are coming from. Sometimes when sign language is a person's first language rather than English or the local spoken language, grammar mistakes and other kinds of cultural mistakes and comprehension errors can occur.

I thought that’s what Mars was like.

If Vulcan's breathed carbon dioxide, how exactly did you think it was possible for them to walk around the same ships as humans without some kind of breathing apparatus?
Nearly every race in Star Trek breathes the same atmosphere because they're all required to share the same space as our crew and having a ton of aliens use breathing devices would be annoying.

 

[T'Girl]

It would depend on how much oxygen they could tolerate, most of what we breathe in is carbon dioxide. A plant species (which the Vulcans aren't) would breathe carbon dioxide.

Kirk: "You're not a fish Mr. Spock."

Spock: "Nor an I a man."

No, most of what we breathe in is nitrogen; if we breathed mostly CO2, we'd die pretty quickly.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Correct. Air is approximately 78% nitrogen, 20% oxygen and 2% everything else.

 

[Timo]

...And the current rise in CO2 content is actually cause for more alarmism than we get nowadays. If the concentration goes up from the current 0.04% to something like 0.1%, it's not just a slowly acting climate change agent but an acute and direct health hazard as well; imagine spending your entire life in what amounts to a jam-packed classroom...!

But we know basically zip about the feedback mechanisms that will kick in if the CO2 concentration really gets that high. And perhaps we'll have tri-ox shots by that time? Or genetic manipulation to allow us to breathe air more suited for dinosaurs.

Correct. Air is approximately 78% nitrogen, 20% oxygen and 2% everything else.

Closer to 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, .05% carbon dioxide, and the rest trace gases. Exhaled air has about 10 times as much carbon dioxide as the atmosphere, but it still contains 14% to 16% oxygen. That’s how submarines and spacecraft can recycle the same air over and over again, with the help of CO2 scrubbers to keep the carbon dioxide level within safe limits.

That's also why mouth-to-mouth actually helps...
