Explain why the temperature of the atmosphere does not increase or decrease steadily as you move from earth's surface toward space.?
The distribution of temperature in the stationary heated solar atmosphere found for the limiting cases of slow and fast heating.
What is the atmosphere and the temperature of mercury?
Mercury has no real atmosphere and the temperature on the surface is from 80,000 to 700,000 degrees.
How can an atmosphere affect the temperature of the planet surface?
The atmosphere moderates temperature changes, keeping the surface warm at night and cool in the day. Without an atmosphere on Earth the temperature would probably go from about +100 degrees to -100 degrees every 24 hours. The atmosphere keeps it nicely within a range of ten degrees usually. Carbon dioxide allows radiant heat through to the Earth's surface but blocks heat being radiated away from the surface which is at a relatively low temperature. So it produces a 'greenhouse' effect which raises the surface temperature, but only by a little at present. On Venus, which has a 95% carbon dioxide atmosphere, the greenhouse effect has made the surface temperature 400-500 degrees C.

What unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near Earths surface is called?
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface is called global warming
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near earths surface is called what?
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface is called global warming
Keeps the temperature of the surface from changing rapidly?
The atmosphere.
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called .?
Global warming
What affects the speed at which raindrops fall?
1- temperature which effects the size of drops, 2- distance from the earth surface, 3- impurities present in atmosphere and 4- direction of the wind.
Why evaporation happens at the surface?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.

Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
