Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitiude in the troposphere?
The temperature decreases with altitude.
Why does the temperature of the atmosphere does not increase or decrease steadily as you move from earths surface toward space?
The upper layers of the atmosphere are heated from above, while the lower layers are heated from below, because infrared radiation is given off by the Earth's surface in response to solar heating. The lower troposphere (with its denser molecules and water vapor) receives heat from both re-radiation and convection. The result is that while the atmosphere always gets thinner with altitude, the temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, then increases with altitude in the stratosphere. The very high temperatures in the thermosphere are moot because of the low specific heat (energy capacity) of the tenuous gases there.
As the temperature of a star increases does the amount of light it emits increase or decrease?
It increases.
How does a star's temperature affect its absolute magnitude?
The absolute magnitude of a start will increase both:* If its surface temperature increases, and * If its diameter increases.
How far is the distance from the Earth to space?
There is no distance from the earth to space. The atmosphere gradually gets thinner as altitude increases. The furthest noticeable part of the atmosphere is "said" to be approx. 600mile from sea level. You will be close to the thinnest part of the atmosphere when you realize that you can't increase altitude anymore.
In the troposphere which decreases as altitude increase?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases in the troposphere
As altitude increases in the Troposphere does the temperature increase?
No, the temperature does not increase in fact it decreases as the altitude increases yes it does.
What forces the temperature to increase with the altitude in the troposphere?
If the temperature increases with increasing altitude in the troposphere, then a temperature inversion exists. All the weather that we are primarily interested in, occurs in the troposphere.
Troposphere increase or decrease in air temp?
The temperature of the Troposphere generally decreases as altitude increases.
Does temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the mesosphere?
The temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere decrease with altitude.
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitiude in the troposphere?
The temperature decreases with altitude.
How does the temperature of the air change as you increase in altitude in the troposphere?
The temp rises
How does the temperature change as you go up through the troposhpere?
as altitude increases in the troposphere the temp. decreases. on average for every 1 kilometer increase in altitude the air gets about 6.5 Celsius degrees cool.
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the thermoshpere?
The temperature increases like the stratosphere
What happens to the temperature as you increase in altitude in the troposphere?
It keeps getting colder. (to about -70 degrees F).
In the troposphere does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude?
In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), in the effect known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 °C per thousand feet).
What divides the layers of the earth's atmosphere?
From the Earth outward the layers of the atmosphere are; Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere. These layers are divided by whether the temperature increases or deceases with an increase in altitude within the layer.
