The troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, extends from the surface of the Earth up to a height that varies between about 9 km (or 30,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (or 56,000 ft) at the equator.

Describe the temperature changes that occur as you move upward through the troposphere?

The temperature gets colder as you go upward in the troposphere. Light from the Sun heats the ground. The warm ground gives off the heat as infrared "light". The IR energy heats the troposphere. The lowest part of the troposphere is the warmest because it is closest to the ground, where the heat is coming from.

What phenomena occur in the troposphere?

The troposphere is the section of the atmosphere in which 95% of weather occurs. the troposphere is where 99% of clouds are and is also the thinnest layer of the atmosphere. the troposphere is thicker in more tropical areas. This is because of the more heat.


What happens to the temperature as you go up in elevation?
