what is the approximate height and temperature of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere?


What is the relation between temperature and height in the 5 layers of the atmosphere?

In the Earth's atmosphere, temperature changes with height across its five layers. In the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude due to the decreasing pressure and density of air. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with height due to the absorption of UV radiation by the ozone layer. The mesosphere sees a return to decreasing temperatures, while in the thermosphere, temperatures rise significantly with height due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation.


What is the standard temperature lapse rate in the troposphere?

The standard temperature lapse rate or environmental lapse rate as it is more commonly known is basically the temperature difference between the tropopause surface divided by height. This uses the formula -dT/dz and essentially shows the temperature decreasing as the height above the tropopause increases.


Why is the temperature of stratosphere increases with height?

The temperature of the stratosphere increases with height primarily due to the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun by the ozone layer, which is concentrated in this atmospheric layer. As UV radiation is absorbed, it warms the surrounding air, leading to a temperature increase with altitude. This temperature inversion is in contrast to the troposphere below, where temperature decreases with height due to the decreasing pressure and density of the air.

How does temperature change as height increases the troposphere?

As the altitude increases in the Troposphere, The air temperature decreases. When about 1 kilometer increases in altitude, the air cools about 6.5 degrees Celsius. And at the very top of the Troposphere the air temperature stays the same at around -60 degrees Celsius.

How are the changes in air temperature with height different from changes in air pressure with height?

Air temperature typically decreases with height in the troposphere due to the decreasing influence of Earth's surface heating. Conversely, air pressure decreases with height because the weight of the air above diminishes as altitude increases. While temperature changes can vary depending on weather conditions and atmospheric layers, the decline in air pressure with height is a consistent physical principle. As a result, temperature gradients can vary more widely than the relatively uniform decrease in air pressure.
