Where is the Tropopause located of earth's atmosphere?
The height of the Tropopause depends mainly on the Latitude. At the Poles, it is about 30,000' and at the equator it is about 60,000. This number varies with a change in temperature/season. It is higher at the equator due to a naturally higher temperature at sea level, this means the parcel of air has a lower density. Because of the lower density the parcel of air will be more 'stretched out' than the air at the poles (the colder parcel of air with a higher density).
Why do hot air balloon rise up?
because the density in the balloon is heated so it rises higher than it being unheated
Why was the airplane harder to invent than the hot air balloon?
The balloon is lighter than air.
Is stratosphere bigger than Megatron?
Assuming you mean Earth's stratosphere and Megatron the Decepticon: Yes. It is both taller and more massive than Megatron.
What makes hot air balloon rise into the air?
What are you, a retard? Even my 5 year old sister knew the answer to this. Hot air is lighter than cold air, thus the balloon with hot air rises higher than the cold air around it.
What is the layer of the atmosphere that contains a higher concentration of ozone than the rest of the atmosphere called?
That layer is stratosphere. It contains the ozone layer.
after the troposphere which layer of the atmosphere has the next coldest temperatures?
thermosphere
To what layer of the atmosphere do weather balloons fly?
They fly into the stratosphere. Weather balloons can reach altitudes of 40 kilometers (about 25 miles).
Does the stratosphere temperature increase or decrease?
In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer near the top of the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs incoming UV radiation, and thus the temperatures are warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the bottom.
Does the temperature in the stratosphere decrease or increase?
In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer near the top of the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs incoming UV radiation, and thus the temperatures are warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the bottom.
In the stratosphere does temperature increase or decrease with altitude?
In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer near the top of the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs incoming UV radiation, and thus the temperatures are warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the bottom.
What is the meaning of strato?
Strato means a combining form representing stratus This means layer. here are some examples that have the word Strato in it The stratosphere is the next highest atmospheric layer. There are no clouds in the stratosphere. Commercial jets fly in the lower part of the stratosphere. As you go higher in the stratosphere, you pass through layers of increasing temperature. "Strato" is Latin for "layer, sheet. The strato volcano = a volcano built up of alternate layers of lava and ash . strato dessert = a desert that has more than one layer . * notice that the examples i gave you all mentioned many layers or more than one layer . so what i am trying to say is strato is more than one layer . I really hoped this helped and thanks for reading this information . :)
How is the stratosphere difference from the troposphere?
strat's higher than trop. S has ozone layer. 2 parts to the strat. trop has thin feathery clouds of ice. S protects us from UV radiation.
Will a balloon with argon gas sink faster then a balloon with krypton gas?
The balloon with krypton gas has a higher density than the balloon with argon gas.
Why is ozone in stratosphere oxygen in troposphere when the mass of ozone is higher than oxygen?
Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is O2, at any altitude. It's true that ozone molecules, O3, are heavier than regular oxygen gas O2, but mixtures of gases do not layer out by mass or density -- they thoroughly mix. In the stratosphere, however, the higher levels of ultraviolet radiation produce fresh ozone from diatomic oxygen, so ozone concentrations remain higher in this region.
What containse hightest concentration of ozone?
The stratosphere region of the atmosphere contain the highest concentration of ozone. It is present in the form of ozone layer.
What is the pressure inside the balloon?
It is the pressure exerted by the elastic balloon envelope and will be higher than the external pressure.
