Within a thunderstorm cell does the temperature fall or rise with increasing altitude?

Temperatures fall with height in a thunderstorm cell. Temperatures generally fall with height in the atmosphere unless there's an inversion present (and those lead to a stable atmosphere not favorable for thunderstorm development)....So if there's thunderstorms present, temperatures should be falling with height.


Does the sun influence the formation of winds on the earth's surface?

To the extent that the sun warms the atmosphere, and varying temperatures within the atmosphere are the basis of winds, yes.


How did the moon get to the atmosphere?

The moon has no atmosphere and it is not within the Earth's atmosphere, so it never got "to the atmosphere."


Are any satellites currently located within the Earth's atmosphere?

Orbits within the atmosphere are not stable due to atmospheric friction. Friction slows (and heats) the satellite, dropping its orbit still lower (where there's more friction, therefore more slowing and heating). Eventually the satellite burns up. This is essentially what happened to Skylab and more recently to Mir.


what's the temperature of Jupiter?

Jupiter has a vast range of temperatures, and there is no definable surface within the dense atmosphere.The outermost cloud layers are exposed to the near-absolute-zero temperatures of space, while the core of the planet has high temperatures because of the intense pressure of the atmosphere planet bearing down at it. At the cloud tops, the temperature of Jupiter is thought to be as low as -161° C (112 K). Deeper into the atmosphere, temperatures increase to as high as 36000° near the rocky core.Jupiter's temperature ranges from -234o_ 17,540.33oF.-166 degrees Fahrenheit.-230 degrees Fahrenheit


How hot is the solar system?

On averate, very very cold. According to NASA, calculated temperatures range from a high of about +175°C at the orbit of Mercury (nearest the Sun) to a low of about −230°C (44 K) at the orbit of Pluto and lower still further out. The temperatures do rise if you enter the atmosphere of the planet but the volume of space occupied by the planets and their atmosphere is trivial compared to the near-emptiness within the solar system.


Is a large region of atmosphere where the air has similar temperature and humidity throughout?

Air masses are two vast areas of air which have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar.


In what ways is heat transferred within earth's atmosphere?

Its transfered by cunduction sun--> atmosphere


Why the proton number is always stable?

Protons are within the nucleus


What generates the high temperatures within the sun?

Nuclear fusion.


Refrigerant compatibility in relation to refrigerant oils?

It's ability to operate and perform in a stable manner in an environment consisting of other materials such as rubber seals or gaskets and different metals and coatings within the refrigeration system without any chemical reactions or elastomer breakdown occurring when operating within varying temperatures differentials.


What is the barrier between earth and space?

Collectively it's called the Atmosphere. There are sub-zones within the atmosphere but collectively it is referred to as the Atmosphere.
