Which layer of the atmosphere contains most of clouds?
Troposphere contains nearly all of the atmosphere's clouds. This is for 2 reasons: first, almost all water vapor is contained in this layer. Second, the air is inherently unstable, since it is warmest at the bottom. The causes the air to always want to rise, creating clouds under the right conditions.
What the density of the troposphere?
Ozone is a gas, and its density is a function of pressure, temperature, and molecular fraction in a particular volume. For pure ozone gas, at 1.013 bar and 0 °C, the density is 2.141 kg/m3. (Air is about 1.295 kg/m3 at this same temperature and pressure.)
What are the gases called that are around earth?
Answer: An atmosphere.
List three changes in the atmosphere as altitude increases from sea level upward?
Three changes are: Temperature DECREASES Air Pressure DECREASES Mass of Air DECREASES Sources: Worksheet A.2 Graphing Atmosphere Data from Chemistry Class
What is after exosphere?
The exosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In the exosphere, an upward travelling molecule can escape to space if it is moving fast enough to attain escape velocity; otherwise it will be pulled back to the celestial body by gravity.
Aeroplanes are flown in which layer of the atmosphere?
They Fly In the Stratosphere. The Stratosphere is the 2 Major Atmosphere
What is the second layer of the earth's atmosphere called?
number 2
What layer of the atmosphere has two layer parts?
The Stratosphere has 2 parts, the normal Stratosphere and the Ozone layer. The Thermosphere also has 2 parts. They are the Thermosphere and Ionosphere.
What is the odering of the four layers of Earth's atmosphere from closest?
Layers of the Earth's atmosphere from the closest: 1. The Troposphere 2. The Stratosphere (Fact: This layer of the Earth's atmosphere is where you can find the Ozone layer) 3. The Ionosphere 4. The Exosphere
What is the thinnest layer of earths atmosphere?
The atmosphere layer that is thinnest in size is the upper layer, the exosphere. 1. The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer. 2. Many jet aircrafts fly in the stratosphere because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. 3. Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere. 4. The thermosphere is a layer with auroras. It is also where the space shuttle orbits. 5. The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin exosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere has 2 names?
The Stratosphere has two layers the normal stratosphere and the ozone layer. The Thermosphere also has two layers the normal thermosphere and the ionosphere.
What 2 layers of the atmosphere are hottest?
The first hottest layer is the Thermosphere because it is near space and closest to the sun. The other hot layer is the __________ (please answer if you know).
What and where are the ionosphere and exosphere?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere and exosphere is called the thermosphere. The exosphere is at the top and the ionosphere is at the bottom.
What is true about the composition of the atmosphere?
The atmosphere is divided into five layers. It is thickest near the surface and thins out with height until it eventually merges with space. 1) The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer. 2) Many jet aircrafts fly in the stratosphere because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. 3) Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere. 4) The thermosphere is a layer with auroras. It is also where the space shuttle orbits. 5) The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin exosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere
Are there 4 or 5 layers of atmosphere above the surface of Earth?
1) The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer. 2) Many jet aircrafts fly in the stratosphere because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. 3) Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere. 4) The thermosphere is a layer with auroras. It is also where the space shuttle orbits. 5) The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thinexosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains most pollution?
Air pollution affects:Troposphere: Level where we live. Contaminants include rgeenhouse gases, toxic contaminants and odorsStratosphere: Upper atmosphere where contaminants deplete the ozone
