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.

The troposphere has what kind of tempaature?

It is cold and windy up there. The further you go up the colder it gets.


What happens to temperature as you go higher in the troposphere?

the temp goes down, the winds go up, and the pressure goes up...


What happens in the trmperature in the atmosphere as you go up through the troposphere?

The temperature typically decreases as you go up through the troposphere. This decrease in temperature with altitude is known as the lapse rate, and is usually around 6.5°C per kilometer of altitude.


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 is a cloud that forms high up in the troposphere?

A cirrus cloud is a high-altitude cloud that forms in the troposphere. It is composed of ice crystals and has a wispy, feathery appearance. Cirrus clouds often indicate fair weather but can also precede a change in the weather.


Will zak and Zeke get above the troposphere?

no!!!because the air pressure will be too high and there won't be enough oxygen for them to be able to breath


Does troposphere make up earth's atmosphere?

nope there are other layers that make up the atmosphere the troposphere is not the only thing.


How many days does it take to travel to space?

When you say "travel to space" I hope you mean get out of the troposphere, cause that's what I mean. It takes about 5 mins. to get out of the troposphere. (The troposphere is the first layer of the atmosphere) Once you get high up in the mesosphere, you can look down and actually see planet earth. -LIGHTNINGSCIENCE


What process moves energy from the Earth's surface high in the troposphere?

The process that moves energy from the Earth's surface high in the troposphere is convection. As the Earth's surface heats up, the air near the surface also warms up and becomes less dense. This warm air rises, carrying energy with it, until it reaches high altitudes in the troposphere.


How High does the Troposphere go?

Over 99% of the mass of the earth's atmosphere is contained in two layers: the troposphere and the stratosphere. Most of the earth's atmosphere (80 to 90%) is found in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer where we live. This layer, where the earth's weather occurs, is within about 12 km (7 miles) of the earth's surface.
