Dissipative processes, incorporating large fluxes of matter and energy, occur on planets. A measure of all these processes is the influx of negentropy produced by the difference in the fluxes of entropy of the incoming solar and outgoing thermal radiation of the planet. A large part of the influx of negentropy is expended in vertical heat fluxes, maintaining the thermal regime of the planet. Another part of the consumption of negentropy on the Earth is water evaporation. The rest of it is expended mainly on dynamics, which explains the low efficiency of the "heat engine" producing motions in the atmosphere and ocean. On Venus, where there is practically no water, a considerably larger fraction of the influx of negentropy is expended on motions of the atmosphere than on the Earth. Experimental and theoretical research on influxes of negentropy can help in the study of the stability of planetary climate.
