the air being heated by the sun
Absorption of heat energy, such as from sunlight, increases the enthalpy of air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. This can lead to an increase in temperature, causing the air molecules to gain kinetic energy and move more vigorously.
Actions that can increase the enthalpy in air molecules in Earth's atmosphere include heat absorption from the sun, combustion of fuels releasing heat, and geothermal activities releasing heat from the Earth's interior.
Gas molecules in Earth's atmosphere are more concentrated near the surface and become less dense as altitude increases. The distribution is governed by gravity, with heavier gases concentrated at lower altitudes and lighter gases found at higher altitudes. This creates layers within the atmosphere, such as the troposphere (where most weather occurs) and the stratosphere (where the ozone layer is located).
because the gravitational attraction of moon is very low(about 1/6th of earths') which is not sufficient to hold the air molecules to form atmosphere.
The density of Earth's atmosphere decreases with altitude. As you move higher up in the atmosphere, there are fewer molecules of gases present, leading to lower density.
Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.
Ozone layer is most affected. It is a pool of ozone molecules.
Because of global warming the temprature of the earths atmosphere increases and due to which ice on the glaciers is melting and sea level rises .the chance of coming stroms increases.
how do geologists think earths atmosphere is formed
The layer of the Earth's atmosphere that fits this description is the thermosphere. In the thermosphere, there is little to no water vapor, the atmospheric pressure is less than 1.0 atmosphere, and the air temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation.
The air molecules spreds out in space so there is not enough air to breathe for us there
