The region that extends from 15 or 20 km to 50 km above Earth is the stratosphere. This atmospheric layer lies above the troposphere, where most of the Earth's weather occurs, and is characterized by a temperature increase with altitude due to the presence of the ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters ultraviolet solar radiation. The stratosphere plays a crucial role in protecting life on Earth from harmful UV rays.
What else can I help you with?
Where in the sky would a star with an azimuth of 180 degrees and an altitude of 20 degrees be found?
A star with an azimuth of 180 degrees would be due south, and an altitude of 20 degrees would place it 20 degrees above the horizon. So, the star would be in the southern part of the sky, 20 degrees above the horizon.
How long a rocket takes to fly to outer space?
It takes a rocket about 15-20 minutes to reach outer space, which begins at the Kármán line located 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth's surface. The exact time can vary depending on the rocket's speed and trajectory.

What layer of atmosphere extends from 10-20 k above earth?
The layer of the atmosphere that extends from 10-20 kilometers above the Earth's surface is the stratosphere. This layer is characterized by the presence of the ozone layer, which plays a crucial role in absorbing and filtering out harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
How far does the straosphere extend above earths surface?
The stratosphere's upper limit is about 20 miles above sea level.
Which layer of the atmosphere extends from 15 to 20 km?
troposhpere
What layer of the atmosphere is closest to earth?
The Troposphere is nearest and extends from the surface of the earth to approximately 10 thousand metres above the surface. This explains why the air is described as being 'thin' when at the top of some of the highest mountains of the World.Hope this helps.
What is the portion of atmosphere 10 25 miles above the earth is called?
Stratosphere is 10 - 20 miles above earth and contains the ozone layer.
If you sight Polaris with an astrolabe and determine its altitude is 20 and deg above the horizon then what does this tell you about your position on the Earth?
You must be 20° above (north) the equator
Pinellas park ft above sea level?

What is the stratosphere mass of air?
The mass of air in the stratosphere is approximately 20% of the total mass of Earth's atmosphere. This layer of the atmosphere extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The density of air in the stratosphere decreases with increasing altitude.
Percent of earth land mass above 1000 ft elevation?
Approximately 27% of Earth's land mass is above 1000 ft in elevation.
How low does the biosphere extend?
The biosphere extends from about 8 kilometers above the Earth's surface to as deep as 11 kilometers below the ocean's surface. This depth range accounts for where living organisms can be found on Earth.
