What does the air in the troposphere do as it heats up?
All of the molecules heat up witch causes it to draw in moisture
How high do hot air balloons go up?
they contain helium molecules which are lighter than the air we breath making the balloons rise
How does air density in the thermosphere change?
As you go though the atmoshpere, the density of the air decreases. This means the gas molecules that make up the atmosphere are farther apart at high altitudes then they are at sea level. Noah Bazoo
Why do rockets have a pointed shape at the front?
I think it is because of air resistance. Think about it, when objects fly up in the atmosphere they still must get past the air molecules floating around. The rocket tips being sharper allows the rocket to "slice" in between the molecules, which makes the rocket fly faster and easier. If the top was flat, the rocket would have to "push" the molecules out of the way, which would slow the rocket down.
How much space do mountains take up?
The mountains take up at least a quarter of the earth's surface The mountains really don't take up that much of the earth's surface. They are found in ranges at convergent plate boundaries that "fold up" the land.
Why do the air molecules make up temperature?
why do the air molecules make and kenitic energy make up temperature
Why can air move more easily than water?
This is beacause air or Gas has fewer molecules that are clumped up together compared to liquid or solids. So they move freely and take up more of the shape of the compartment or container than the liquid or solid.
What is up and down movement of air?
air molecules
What effect does the obsence of heat have on air molecules?
When heat touches air molecules they speed up but when cold air touches molecules they slow down.
Air molecules speed up the movement of objects in motion?
The friction (with the air molecules) would slow it down.
Does wind have atoms and molecules in it?
Yes! Wind is air that is moving and air is made up of various gasses and pollutants all are made up of molecules and molecules are made up of atoms.
Does air take up room?
Air does indeed take up room. Air molecules have a mass that takes up whatever room it is confined to.
Are the eastern mountains drier than the western mountains?
Generally, yes. The rain shadow effect causes the eastern side of mountains to be drier than the western side. As moist air rises over the mountains, it cools and releases most of its moisture on the windward side (western side), leaving the leeward side (eastern side) drier.
How many water molecules goes up into the air?
Mllions
Why is the air pressure lower at the top of a mountain than at the bottom of the mountain?
As you increase in altitude above the planet, there are fewer molecules. One way to think of this is that at the top of the mountain, there are fewer molecules "above you pushing down on you."because the is less air at the top of the mountain than at the bottom of the mountain
Why are there fewer molecules the farther you go up in the atmosphere?
The force of gravity is less, hence the atoms of gas are more free to move.
When a balloon is blown up then let go air molecules rush out of the balloon and join the air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere What happens to the enthalpy in the balloon?
It decreases.
