What else can I help you with?
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the particles get closer together or farther apart?
the particles get closer together because my class just talked about that stuff!!
Is temperature increases as altitude increases because you are moving closer to the sun?
No, temperature does not increase with altitude because you are moving closer to the sun. In the Earth's atmosphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude in the troposphere due to the decreasing pressure and density of air. The sun's heat primarily warms the Earth's surface, and as you go higher, there is less air to retain that heat. However, temperature can increase with altitude in the stratosphere due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer.
Why is the atmosphere cooler higher up?
The atmosphere is cooler at higher altitudes primarily due to the decrease in air pressure and density. As altitude increases, the air expands and cools, as less energy is available to raise the temperature of the thinner air. Additionally, the Earth's surface absorbs sunlight and radiates heat, causing temperatures to be warmer closer to the ground. This phenomenon is influenced by factors such as the lapse rate, which describes the rate at which temperature decreases with elevation.
Is the temperature in the troposhere warm or cold?
Cold because the higher up you go in the atmosphere the colder it gets, but the warmest layer of the atmosphere is the thermoshere. Also a good indication of the temperature of a layer in the atmosphere is to look at the weather, because on a good sized mountain there is snow at the top.
From the graph can you generalize that the higher the layer of the athmosphere (that is closer to the sun) hotter temperature why or why not?
Based on the graph, can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that is closer to the sun), the hotter the temperature? Why or why not
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that is closer to the sun ) the hotter the temperature?
Not on your life. The highest layers of the atmosphere are the coldest, and the hottest season in the US occurs at the time when the Earth is farthest away from the sun.
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that Is Closer To The Sun). The Hotter the Temperature?
Not on your life. The highest layers of the atmosphere are the coldest, and the hottest season in the US occurs at the time when the Earth is farthest away from the sun.
From the graph can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere that si closer to the sun the hotter the temperature why or whynot?
No, you cannot generalize that the higher layers of the atmosphere are hotter just because they are closer to the sun. While it seems logical that proximity to the sun would correlate with higher temperatures, atmospheric layers experience different temperature gradients due to factors like pressure and composition. For example, in the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude, while in the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer.
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere the hotter the temperature Why or why not?
No, you cannot generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere, the hotter the temperature. In the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude due to the decreasing pressure and density of air. However, in the stratosphere, temperature actually increases with altitude because of the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. Thus, temperature variations in the atmosphere depend on specific layers and their characteristics.
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere that is closer to the sun the hotter the temperaturewhy or why not?
No, you cannot generalize that the higher layers of the atmosphere are hotter due to proximity to the sun. While the thermosphere, the uppermost layer, can reach high temperatures, this is due to the absorption of solar radiation rather than proximity to the sun. In contrast, the troposphere, which is closest to Earth's surface, typically experiences a decrease in temperature with altitude due to the way air pressure and heat distribution work. Thus, temperature behavior in the atmosphere is influenced by various factors, not just distance from the sun.
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
As you go higher in the atmosphere, the temperature generally decreases. This is because the atmosphere becomes less dense and there are fewer molecules to retain heat.
Does the temperature increase as you get higher up in the atmosphere?
As you get higher up in the atmosphere there is less and less air on top of your head so there is less weight, meaning there is less pressure. Gravity. Atmosphere will be more compact closer to Earth because particles in the air have mass and are thus pulled down by gravity.
What is molecules closer to the surface that are more densely packed than those higher in the atmosphere because of gases pressing down from higher in the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure
How does temperature influence the amount of moisture in the atmosphere?
the higher the temperature, the more moisture.
Why does laos have higher temperature year round?
it's closer to the equator
Why does it get colder when you higher because you actually getting closer to the sun?
As you go higher in the atmosphere, the air becomes less dense and is unable to trap heat as effectively. This causes the temperature to decrease, despite being closer to the sun. The warmth comes from the Earth's surface absorbing sunlight, rather than from proximity to the sun itself.
