The layers Earth's Atmosphere from closest to farthest: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere. (It is often argued whether the Exosphere is actually part of the atmosphere or not. The amount of scientists who believe and don't is about 50-50.)
As you ascend into the sky, the atmospheric temperature follows a cold-hot pattern.
The temperature in the Troposphere is cooler as you go up. Above the Troposphere is the Stratosphere. The Stratosphere is significantly warmer and more dry than the Troposphere. Above the Stratosphere is the Mesosphere. The Mesosphere is the coldest layer of the Atmosphere at negative 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Above the Mesosphere is the Thermosphere. The Thermosphere is the hottest layer of the Atmosphere at approximately 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Above the Thermosphere is the Exosphere. The Exosphere is extremely thin and where the Atmosphere merges with outer space. It's comprised of widely dispersed particles of Hydrogen and Helium.

Will the temperature go higher or lower if you add salt to the water?
it goes higher
What gas that use for balloons to go to sky higher?
I think it is helium, I could be wrong.
Why do mountaineers carry oxygen cylinder with them?
They have to carry oxygen cylinders with them as it allows them to breath at high altitude. The temperature also decreases as we go higher and higher.
Name three factors that affect the density of an air mass?
Density = mass divided by volume. Mass is determined by the individual atoms or molecules and their compression (how close together they are). Compression is affected by external elements such as temperature and atmosphere. Temperature can increase or decrease density (hotter temps lead to decrease in density as atoms separate). Atmospheric pressure can also change the density (air is less dense the further you get from Earth/higher you go in the sky).
How high do you travel before the sky turns black?
Our sky is blue DURING THE DAY because of two things: 1) sunlight is entering our atmosphere 2) our atmosphere is thick enough to preferentially scatter blue light. If either (1) or (2) cease to be true, then the sky will NOT be blue. As night "falls," the sky does not go instantly from blue to black. Instead, less and less of our Sun's light is available to scatter, and thus the sky goes slowly from blue to black. It's the same way as you go higher and higher. There is no altitude at which there is simply no longer enough atmosphere to scatter enough sun light to give the sky a blue look. It is more the case that, as you go higher and higher, the sky becomes less and less blue -- just like at night "fall." For SOME idea of how our sky changes, check out a video of a space shuttle launch.
How does the temperature change with altitude in the stratosphere?
the temperature already rise as you climb up in the stratosphere.
How does the temperature change as you go up into the sky?
In the troposphere it will get colder, uet in the stratosphere it should get warmer.
How does the characteristics of the atmosphere change as you go higher?
less pressure and cooler temperature
How does air temperature change with altiltude?
Yes. The higher you go the lower the pressure is and the lower you go the higher the pressure is. That's why your ears feel like popping in a plane or in a vally and things like that.
What happens to temperature in the troposphere?
The air temperature decreases as you go higher. On the average temperature decreases about 6.5 degrees Celsius for each kilometer.
How can the temperature in the autoclave go above boiling temperature of 212 F?
At higher pressure the boiling point is higher.
Does the temperature rise or fall as a altitude in creases?
The higher you go - the lower the temperature.
Will the temperature go higher or lower if you add salt to the water?
it goes higher
What gas that use for balloons to go to sky higher?
I think it is helium, I could be wrong.
How does the atmosphere change when you go to high in an airplane?
The air becomes less dense, the higher you go. And generally, the temperature gets colder until you reach the thermosphere, which is the hottest part of Earths atmosphere.
How would air pressure change as you drive up and then down a mountain?
Because of temperature change when you are up is higher and down is lower. So the air pressure would go lower.
Why do mountaineers carry oxygen cylinder with them?
They have to carry oxygen cylinders with them as it allows them to breath at high altitude. The temperature also decreases as we go higher and higher.
