What layer of the atmosphere is first struck by sunlight?
The exosphere is the layer of the atmosphere first struck by sunlight
The layer of gas closest to earth?
the lowest layer of the atmosphere is the trosospere
What atmospheric layer is closest to Earth's crust?
The atmospheric layer closest to Earth's crust is the troposphere. It extends from the surface of the Earth up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) in altitude, depending on latitude and weather conditions. This layer is where most of the Earth's weather occurs and contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass.
What layer of the Earth's atmosphere keeps us safe from dangerous ultraviolet light?
The layer of Earth's atmosphere which keeps us safe is ozone layer. Stratosphere is where it lies.
Which layer of earth s atmosphere protects the earth these dangerous ultravoilet radiations of the sun?
The layer of earth's atmosphere that protects against these dangerous UV rays is ozone. It is in atmosphere.
When does temperature occur?
A layer in the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude.
The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere and in which temperature decreases as altitude increases?
The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere is called the mesosphere. In this layer, temperature decreases as altitude increases due to a decrease in the concentration of ozone molecules that absorb and scatter the sun's rays. The mesosphere is also the region where most meteoroids burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere has increasing temperature?
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere where temperature increases with altitude. This is due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, which heats up the surrounding air.
Which layer of the earths atmosphere contains no wate vapor has an atmosphere pressure less than 1.0 atmosphere and has air temperature that increases wth altitude?
The layer of the Earth's atmosphere that fits this description is the thermosphere. In the thermosphere, there is little to no water vapor, the atmospheric pressure is less than 1.0 atmosphere, and the air temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation.
As altitude increases in the Troposphere does the temperature increase?
No, as altitude increases in the Troposphere, the temperature generally decreases. This is because the Troposphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather occurs, and the temperature decreases with altitude due to the decrease in air pressure and thinning of the air molecules that can store heat.
What is the pattern of temperature changes within each layer of the atmosphere?
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude due to decreasing air pressure. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by the ozone layer. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases with altitude. In the thermosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation.
What happenes to the temperature as you ascend into the first three layers of the atmosphere?
In the troposphere (first layer), temperature usually decreases with altitude, known as the tropospheric lapse rate. In the stratosphere (second layer), temperature remains constant or increases slightly with altitude due to the presence of the ozone layer. In the mesosphere (third layer), temperature decreases again with altitude.
What layer of the atmosphere is coolest?
The Exosphere is the coolest part of the atmosphere. I'm pretty sure this is the right answer.
How do the 4 main layers of the atmosphere vary?
The four main layers of the atmosphere are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. They vary in temperature, composition, and altitude. The troposphere is where weather occurs and temperature decreases with altitude. The stratosphere has the ozone layer and temperature increases with altitude. The mesosphere is where meteors burn up and temperature decreases with altitude. The thermosphere is where the auroras occur and temperature increases with altitude due to absorption of solar radiation.
In which layer does temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
How does the temperature of the air molecules change at each level of the atmosphere?
In the troposphere (lowest layer of the atmosphere), temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the presence of the ozone layer. In the mesosphere and thermosphere, temperature decreases with altitude as the density of air molecules decreases and solar radiation becomes more influential.
What happens to the temperature as you increase in altitude in each layer of the atmosphere?
The temperature in the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases. The reason for this is there is less warmth from the surface of the earth reaching the higher altitudes because there are fewer particles of the atmosphere to transfer the heat. The temperature begins to increase, however, around 100km in altitude because of the heat and radiation from the sun.
