With increasing altitude in the atmosphere, pressure decreases and so does density. Temperature varies depending on the layer in which the air is. The top of the stratosphere can be -50 degrees C, as where the thermosphere can be well over 500 degrees C.
At ground level (0 feet above sea level) we consider a standard pressure reading to be 29.92 inches of Mercury. At 1000 feet above sea level this pressure would be reduced to 29.82. This is a basic principle of Altimeters for aircraft.
Temperature is slightly trickier, but we also have what is called a standard lapse rate. The factors here depend on many things, but a rule of thumb is about 3 degrees (F) per thousand feet. Using this rule of thumb, you can find the base cf clouds (roughly) by looking at the dew point verses the temp. If the difference is large, clouds will be high. If the difference is small (say 3 Degrees) the clouds will be low, around 1000 feet.

Why is the earth in layers?
Its in layers because of the density of the compounds in the earth
How did density stratification change the earth?
the earth freezers layers after density stratification which consists of the core, mantle, and crust
What is the layers of the earth in order by density?
iner core outer core
Seismic waves travel through Earth's layers at different speeds depending on the what?
Density and the composition of the different layers affect the behavior of seismic waves.
How does the density of Earth's crust compare to the other layers?
The crust is the least dense of the Earth's layers. Each layer is denser than the layer above it. This is very logical, since lighter layers float on top of heavier layers.
Why is the earth in layers?
Its in layers because of the density of the compounds in the earth
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
Why do you think earth have layers?
The Earth has layers because it is made up of materials of varying density.
Could density be related to the layering within the earth?
Yes, layers of the Earth haven't identical density.
Is the moon's average density greater than the density of earth's outer layers?
No
How did density stratification change the earth?
the earth freezers layers after density stratification which consists of the core, mantle, and crust
How does the density of the earth's core compare to the other layers of the earth?
The core is the densest layer.
What do scientist use to establish earthquakes and volcanoes?
The density of Earth's layers
What is the layers of the earth in order by density?
iner core outer core
How are the layers of the earth determined?
The density and state of the subtance of the particular layer.
When compared to the other layers of Earth which layer has the lowest density?
The Crust
Seismic waves travel through Earth's layers at different speeds depending on the what?
Density and the composition of the different layers affect the behavior of seismic waves.
