What layer of the atmosphere do particles of air escape into space?
The layer of the atmosphere that releases particles of air into space is the exosphere.
Is there a boundary between the atmosphere and space?
No
What is the difference between atmosphere and space?
Ther isnt any atmospher in space :)
Why does The Space Shuttle Heat up when it is Travelling through the Earth's Atmosphere?
Because of the enormous amount of friction between Earth's atmosphere and the Space Shuttle.
What creates the heat while a space shuttle is leaving the atmosphere?
In the exosphere, Friction between the atmosphere and the shuttle creates the heat.
When you get higher in the atmosphere does the Space between air particles decrease?
No. Pressure could be simplified to mean the "space between particles" and because gravity is always pulling those particles towards the earth, the further away from the earth you go, the less air particles there are and consiquently the more space there is.
What layer of the atmosphere do particles of air escape into space?
The layer of the atmosphere that releases particles of air into space is the exosphere.
Does the temperature increase as you get higher up in the atmosphere?
As you get higher up in the atmosphere there is less and less air on top of your head so there is less weight, meaning there is less pressure. Gravity. Atmosphere will be more compact closer to Earth because particles in the air have mass and are thus pulled down by gravity.
Why doesn't Earth's atmosphere extend completely out into space?
The Earth's atmosphere is kept in place by gravitational pull the Earth exerts on particles in the atmosphere. But part of the Earth's atmosphere does float out into space. The part that is lost out into space is the extremely light particles like Hydrogen which can escape the Earth's gravity.
What has little free space between particles?
A solid has little free space between particles.
What is in the space between the particles?
The space between molecules is called inter molecular space.
What is between particles?
Nothing but the space between particles is called vacuum.
What is the relationship between the amount of space between particles and the state of the matter?
As the space changes between the particles, so does the state of matter.
Is there a boundary between the atmosphere and space?
No
What provides the friction on the bottom of a space capsule?
Collisions with the gas particles in the upper atmosphere.
What what do the particles of gas have between them?
empty space
What makes up the space in between the particles?
Empty space, mainly.
