Does the temperature in the troposphere increase as the altitude increases?
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.
How far is the distance from the Earth to space?
There is no distance from the earth to space. The atmosphere gradually gets thinner as altitude increases. The furthest noticeable part of the atmosphere is "said" to be approx. 600mile from sea level. You will be close to the thinnest part of the atmosphere when you realize that you can't increase altitude anymore.
Does the density of the earth's atmosphere increase with altitude?
The atmosphere becomes less dense with altitude. Atmosphere, thin though it is, has weight, and it is the weight of the air above which compresses the air below it, to greater density.
Why does the temperature of the atmosphere does not increase or decrease steadily as you move from earths surface toward space?
The upper layers of the atmosphere are heated from above, while the lower layers are heated from below, because infrared radiation is given off by the Earth's surface in response to solar heating. The lower troposphere (with its denser molecules and water vapor) receives heat from both re-radiation and convection. The result is that while the atmosphere always gets thinner with altitude, the temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, then increases with altitude in the stratosphere. The very high temperatures in the thermosphere are moot because of the low specific heat (energy capacity) of the tenuous gases there.
Would solar panels generate more power at a higher altitude?
When you are at a higher altitude there is less air to dissipate the sunlight, and solar panels increase in efficiency at colder temperatures.
Why upper layer of atmosphere is called thermosphere?
because temperatures increase steadily with altitude.
What does the temperature do as you increase in altitude?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases because there are less molecules in the atmosphere to hold in the heat.
As altitude increases in the Troposphere does the temperature increase?
No, the temperature does not increase in fact it decreases as the altitude increases yes it does.
Does the stratosphere's altitude increase or decrease?
As we go up in height, altitude increases. Thus the altitude increases.
Does the temperature in the troposphere increase as the altitude increases?
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.
In what layer of the atmosphere do temperatures rise with altitude A. Troposphere B. Stratosphere C. Mesosphere D. Mesopause?
THE ANSWER IS B the stratosphere a.k.a. layer S temperatures increase in this layer
Does density increase as altitude increases?
Yes.
In the troposphere which decreases as altitude increase?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases in the troposphere
Does pressure increase as you are increasing altitude?
No. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases.
How far is the distance from the Earth to space?
There is no distance from the earth to space. The atmosphere gradually gets thinner as altitude increases. The furthest noticeable part of the atmosphere is "said" to be approx. 600mile from sea level. You will be close to the thinnest part of the atmosphere when you realize that you can't increase altitude anymore.
Does plasma increase or decrease with altitude training?
It increases.
Does the density of the air increase as altitude increases?
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude.
