Why are the gases in the troposphere layer denser than the gases in the other layers?
The gases in the troposphere are denser than those in higher atmospheric layers because the troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where air pressure is greatest due to the weight of the air above it. As altitude increases, the gravitational pull on air molecules decreases, leading to lower pressure and less density in the upper layers. Additionally, the troposphere contains a higher concentration of water vapor and other gases, contributing to its overall density compared to the stratosphere and beyond.
Why is most of the air found in the troposhere?
The force of gravity (the mass of the Earth) pulls the thin layer of gasses surrounding the planet (the atmosphere) and the result is that the gas layer has the greatest density near the surface of the planet.
What layer The air pressure is the greatest here?
The layer where air pressure is the greatest is the troposphere. This is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) high, depending on the location and weather conditions. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases, making the troposphere the region with the highest density of air molecules and therefore the highest pressure.
Where is air density is greatest?
At the bottom of the troposphere
What layer of the atmosphere has layered gases and thin air?
The atmosphere has layered gases. It also has thin air.
What are the layers that form by gases in the air that are attracted to Earth called?
The layer of gases attracted to earth is atmosphere. It is a big layer.
The greatest cause of air pollution?
There are many gases. Major reason is industrial gases.
Effect of air pollution on ozone layer depression?
Air pollution is due to greenhouse gases. These gases also cause ozone depletion.
What is the trend in density in noble gases?
The densities of the noble gases increase with increasing molecular mass. The increase in density is due to the increase in atomic mass. Helium is about one seventh the density of air and can be used in balloons and lighter-than-air craft. Xenon is about five times the density of air.
What is the layer of the leaf that contains the large air space?
the spongy layer has alot of air spaces so gases can diffuse in and out of the leaf easily
What is the trend in density as you go down the group of noble gases?
The densities of the noble gases increase with increasing molecular mass. The increase in density is due to the increase in atomic mass. Helium is about one seventh the density of air and can be used in balloons and lighter-than-air craft. Xenon is about five times the density of air.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains no air?
The thermosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains very little air, as the air density is extremely low in this region. However, it is not completely devoid of air molecules, but they are too sparse to be considered a significant part of the composition.
