Prometheus (2012)

Corrected entry: Temp when the ship is on the surface is listed for the atmosphere as 2.724 K which is -454.7628 F. How in the world do all those clouds and presumably flowing water exist with the rest of the atmosphere stated as 72% N, 21% O, and traces of Argon if it's that cold?

Correction: Those clouds don't have to be made of water vapor; they could be dust or some other gas condensing in the extreme cold. Since the water is only "presumably flowing" and not "absolutely flowing", that observation is irrelevant.

Phixius

The only gas present at that temperature would be helium. Frozen water would sublime as in freeze-drying. If the structure is open, there could be no breathable atmosphere or liquid and the human party would initially freeze and then be freeze-dried.
