The Earth's atmosphere extends anywhere from 250-400 miles off the surface, depending on where you are standing. Near the equator, it is thicker due to the heat from the surface and cloud reflection, and the high moisture and humidity.

Why is it important for satellites to be outside the earths atmosphere?

Satellites need to be out of the earth's atmosphere or the gravity would make them fall to the ground. In space, the satellites are also able to orbit the earth effortlessly because they have less weight.


Why mosquito pupa hang just below the water surface?

The mosquito pupae hang just below the surface of the water in order to draw oxygen from the atmosphere through two tubes on their backs.The pupae can also swim under the surface of the water when disturbed,but ultimately have to return to the surface at some point to draw more oxygen.If the pupae is unable to draw oxygen for some reason,for example a film of oil has appeared on the surface,then they will die. Mosquito larvae behave in the same way,drawing oxygen from tubes at the tail end,the larvae go through 4 stages of growth,shedding skin each time,before becoming pupae,which then emerge as a full adult mosquito.most species of mosquito larvae have to draw oxygen in this fashion.


How does one calculate distance on both small and large scale map?

Measure the distance between the two points (start and end) then multiply by the scale of the map. For example - suppose the distance from town A to town B is 12cm and the scale is 1:25000 - then the actual distance between the two towns is 3km !

What characteristic of a current is important in affecting climate?

the air in the atmosphere and the waters in our oceans circulate in known patterns in an effort to redistribute the energy. In the atmosphere, we end up with the prevailing wind bands in both hemispheres. In the oceans, we end up with both surface and deep water currents. It is the surface currents that have a marked effect on climate.


How far is the edge of space from the surface of the earth?

Why dawn is red?

At dawn and dusk, the sun is close to the horizon. This means that it passes through more atmosphere. As a result, the sunlight is scattered to the red end of the visible spectrum, and the dust that naturally occurs in the atmosphere closer to the surface intensifies the effect.


Where would a satellite revolving around earth land if it crashed?

It will most likely burn up through the earths atmosphere on re-entry. The satellites travel at very high speeds, and are not designed to withstand the brunt of the earths atmosphere at the speeds at which they orbit the earth. You might get some bits left over, but these should be quite small. Operators try to land the satellite in the sea once it has reached the end of its life.
