No, the atmosphere does not get thicker as you go higher; it actually becomes thinner. As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases, leading to a lower concentration of air molecules. This means that at higher elevations, the atmosphere is less dense, resulting in less oxygen and lower overall air pressure.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
What would happen if the atmosphere was thicker?
If the atmosphere were thicker, it would likely result in increased air pressure and potentially higher temperatures due to a stronger greenhouse effect. This could lead to more extreme weather patterns, altered ecosystems, and challenges for human health and agriculture. Additionally, thicker atmospheric layers could affect the amount of sunlight reaching the surface, impacting photosynthesis and overall climate stability.
How do you make an atmosphere thicker?
To make an atmosphere thicker, you can increase the concentration of gases present by adding more gas particles, such as through volcanic eruptions or industrial emissions. Another method is to cool the atmosphere, which can help retain more gases and increase pressure. Additionally, reducing the escape of gases into space by enhancing gravitational pull or using artificial means could also contribute to a thicker atmosphere.
Why does the earth not lose its heat as quickly at night as the moon does?
The Earth retains heat better due to its thicker atmosphere and higher heat capacity compared to the moon. The atmosphere acts as a barrier, trapping heat on Earth, while the moon has no atmosphere to retain heat, causing rapid heat loss at night.
How and why does solar altitude affect the intensity of solar radiation received at the Earth s surface?
The higher in the sky the sun is the more solar radiation received at the surface. This is because as the sun gets higher in the sky, there is less atmosphere blocking the sun's rays. Imagine the sun going through the atmosphere at a 90 degree angle. The thickness of the atmosphere let say is x thick. As the sun hit the surface at a lower angle, the thickness of the atmosphere has to go through more atmosphere to get to the surface. So the thicker atmosphere blocks more of the sun's rays.
What type of atmosphere do jovian planets have?
The atmosphere gets thicker and thicker as you go down; the planets basically consist mainly of atmosphere, though those planets are expected to have a solid core.
What type of evidence found on Mars suggests that Mars may have had a thicker atmosphere?
Mars may have had a thicker atmosphere because if it can have life, it should have a thicker atmosphere. because of ALIENS
Is Venus atmosphere thicker or thinner than earth's?
Venus' atmosphere is much thicker than Earth's
How thick is Uranus atmosphere?
thicker than earth's atmosphere.
Which planet hAs the thinnest atmosphere of mostly made of carbon dioxide?
Mars, Venus's atmosphere is thicker than Earth's. Much thicker.
Why is the atmosphere heated more from below?
The atmosphere is more heated from below because the air is thicker the farther down you go, and so it traps the heat in the air.
What layer of the atmosphere has lower temps the higher you go?
That is the ionosphere.
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.
What if the earth has a thicker atmosphere?
makes the earth warmer.
Which oil is thicker 10w or 5 w?
The higher the number the thicker the oil.
How does the composition of gases change as you go higher into the atmosphere?
>>>>>...YOU CAN't breath
What happens to water vapor as you go higher into the Atmosphere?
it explodes man
