What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
Why do clouds usually form high in the sky instead of near earths atmosphere?
Clouds are in earth's atmosphere. Clouds form whem moisture in the air condenses, and usually conditions mnear the gcround are too warm for moisture to condense. Instead, clouds form at higher altitudes where it is cooler.
How atmosphere or a lack of atmosphere affects the temperatures of Mercury Venus and Mars?
The lack of an atmosphere, on any planet, will stop greenhouse gasses from building up, so the heat won't be trapped causing a cooler climate.
Why does cloud formation occur higher up?
Because clouds occur when water condenses from water vapour to tiny water droplets. Water condenses when it is cold enough, and higher up in the atmosphere, it is colder.
Would you get hotter or colder as you went higher up in the atmosphere?
Upto Ozon Layer it get colder and then start increasing the temperature.......
Why when you get higher in the mountains does it get cooler?
because there's less atmosphere
How does the characteristics of the atmosphere change as you go higher?
less pressure and cooler temperature
What happens right after evaporation?
The gas condenses back into water because the atmosphere is cooler the higher up you go. So condensation comes after evaporation and then precipitation.
Why are mountains covered in ice?
The atmosphere gets colder as you go up. The reason is that the lower portion of the atmosphere is heated from below (by the heating of the land surface), and the higher you go the farther you are from the heat source, that is why it is cooler and covered in ice most of the time.
Why Atmosphere gets cooler as you go up from the surface of the earth?
The atmosphere gets cooler at higher elevations because there are less atoms up there. Because there are less atoms, it feels colder because there is less thermal energy exchanged between the thermometer and the atoms in the air. Ex. a few atoms at 50 degrees would feel colder than a lot of atoms at 50 degrees.
When the atmosphere is cooler in the geosphere what happens?
The geosphere will warm the atmosphere.
What is air like in the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is the second layer in the atmosphere, right above the troposphere. The air is warmer the higher you go up and cooler farther down. Commercial aircraft flies in the lower layer of the stratosphere.
Why is it cooler on the mountain?
The temperature of the atmosphere reduces with height. Mountains are high, thus cooler.
Why do temperatures become cooler as you go higher above sea level?
because as you go up the sea level gets higher
How does the water get in the atmosphere?
Here are 3 ways water vapor can get cooled in the atmosphere: 1. One way that air cools is by being pushed upward over mountains by winds. 2. Heating of air also causes it to rise. When the ground is strongly heated by the sun, air above the ground gets warmed and rises. As the air expands, it cools. 3. Air can also be pushed upward when cooler air and warmer air meet. When the two meet, they don't mix. The lighter, warm air is pushed up over the heavier, cold air. The result is that the warm air is pushed up higher into the atmosphere, where it cools... The closer to the atmosphere it is, it gets cooler, because, there is more air pressure the higher you go, so it is colder when you are near the atmosphere or you're climbing a mountain and you keep going higher or somthing... So at sea level, where all life exists, it is much warmer than it is in the atmosphere!
