Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature out of all the other layers?
The thermosphere is heated by solar radiation particularly in the far ultraviolet range; much of this is filtered out by the atmosphere's lower layers - but in the these upper regions it is more exposed to this kind of radiation.
How would you describe the layers of Mars?
The planet Mars has a core that is primarily made out of iron. It is surrounded by a silicate mantle and a much thicker crust than earth. Mars Global Surveyor noticed sedimentary rocks which indicates the presence of water.
What can you infer about the sun by studying its layers?
How hot it is and how much it weighs.
What planet's atmosphere is most carbon dioxide?
There are two such planets, Mars and Venus. Venus has a much thicker atmosphere than Mars, but both atmospheres are about 95% carbon dioxide.
What cloud type is best described as sheets or layers that cover much or all sky?
Status clouds

Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature of all the atmosphere layers?
It is affected most directly by the suns radiation
Why does the thermosphere have not much heat?
Because the particles in the thermosphere are very spaced out. A normal thermometer would even measure it below zero, but it has a very high temperature.
Is 12 gauge steel thicker then 29 gauge?
Yes, much thicker.
How much thicker was the ice before global warming?
Thicker than now
Do wolves have thicker skin than humans?
yes much thicker than humans thir bones are thicker too
The epidermis is thicker than the dermis?
yes, the dermis is much thicker than the epidermis
Which is thicker mantle or crust?
The crust is a thin outer layer. The mantle is much thicker.
where in the atmosphere do the meteors disappear or burn up?
The meteors will travel through the exosphere and thermosphere without much trouble due to the lack of air in those layers, but when they hit the middle layer, there are enough gases to cause friction and create heat to burn up in the Mesosphere.
Is Venus atmosphere thicker or thinner than earth's?
Venus' atmosphere is much thicker than Earth's

What does the thickness of a pool solar cover have to do with the way it works?
The thickness is usually relative to the 'years' of warranty on the cover.. the thicker the cover, the more layers, or thicker layer of protective/insulative coating on the core of the solar blanket. In my experience it is worth buying the extra thick cover. they are much more durable , which is good because the corrosive nature of the water over the years.
