Want this question answered?
Based on the graph, can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that is closer to the sun), the hotter the temperature? Why or why not
Not on your life. The highest layers of the atmosphere are the coldest, and the hottest season in the US occurs at the time when the Earth is farthest away from the sun.
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.
The air molecules expand as it gets higher and higher into the atmosphere. the molecules expand.
Im pretty sure its atmospheric pressure

the higher the temperature, the more moisture.
Atmospheric pressure
The closer you get to the sun the higher the temperature gets.
it gets higher
it's closer to the equator
the particles get closer together because my class just talked about that stuff!!
