What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
Is the temperature in the troposhere warm or cold?
Cold because the higher up you go in the atmosphere the colder it gets, but the warmest layer of the atmosphere is the thermoshere. Also a good indication of the temperature of a layer in the atmosphere is to look at the weather, because on a good sized mountain there is snow at the top.
How does the composition of gases change as you travel up the atmosphere?
As the gases go higher in the atmosphere they start to compose or join together at some point which causes them to change since there is mixture of more than one gas, sometimes they form a different element when certain gases form
What are the five layers of atmosphere and it's meaning?
The Troposphere- The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The air is very well mixed and the temperature decreases with altitude.The Stratosphere- In the Earth's stratosphere, the temperature increases with altitude. On Earth, ozone causes the increasing temperature in the stratosphere. Ozone is concentrated around an altitude of 25 kilometers. The ozone molecules absorb dangerous kinds of sunlight, which heats the air around them.The stratosphere is located above the top of the the troposphere.The Mesosphere In the Earth's mesosphere, the air is relatively mixed together and the temperature decreases with altitude. The atmosphere reaches its coldest temperature of around -90°C in the mesosphere. This is also the layer in which a lot of meteors burn up while entering the Earth's atmosphere.The Thermosphere The thermosphere is the fourth layer of the Earth's atmosphere and is located above the mesosphere. The air is really thin in the thermosphere. A small change in energy can cause a large change in temperature. That's why the temperature is very sensitive to solar activity. When the sun is active, the thermosphere can heat up to 1,500° C or higher! The Earth's thermosphere also includes the region of the atmosphere called the ionosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere that is filled with charged particles.
Why do space vehicles heat up when they enter the earth's atmosphere?
The Space vehicles heat up when they enter the earth's atmosphere because the tendency of the air is to compress quickly when the space vehicle hits the atmosphere. When the gasses compressed the temperature also rises which causes the heat.
How does the composition of gas change as you travel up through Earth's atmosphere?
The pressure and the temperature would go on increasing .
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
How would the depth of an atmosphere change if a planet warms up or cools off?
I guess that the atmosphere would change in terms of depth if the planets temperature changed enough.
How does the lack of atmosphere affect the temperatures on mercury?
Mercury has the thinnest atmosphere so the fast winds from blown up stars go to the thin atmosphere, it will be easier to get in and change the atmosphere
Why does the temp change as you go up in the atmosphere?
the air gets thinner.
What is the altitude when the temperature approaches -90C?
Around 80 km in height in the mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere of Earth. The temperature decreases as you go up, as in the troposphere. It can be up to -90 ° C. It is the coldest part of the atmosphere.
How does the temperature change as you go up the fractionating column?
it goes up in 3's
How does air change the higher up in the atmosphere you go?
It becomes less dense.
How does the temperature chang as you travel up the atmosphere?
It gets colder as you travel up in the atmosphere.
How does the temperature changes as you travel up the atmosphere?
It gets colder as you travel up in the atmosphere.
How does the temperature change with altitude in the stratosphere?
the temperature already rise as you climb up in the stratosphere.
Why will you be affected by global warming?
Depends on where you live. If you live near a body of water your house will eventually be engulfed in water. Also the atmosphere will change, the temperature will go up, and you will have to wear sunblock alot more.
