Generally speaking, temperature decreases with altitude up to about 10km, then gradually incrases again peaking at around 50km, then falls off again until about 90km, then starts increasing again.

What do you notice happens with temperature of the sun as you move outward from the sun?

The sun doesn't care where we are. Its temperature doesn't change as we move about.


Explain why the temperature of the atmosphere does not increase or decrease steadily as you move from earth's surface toward space.?

The temperature in the Earth's atmosphere does not increase or decrease steadily as you move from the surface towards space because it is influenced by various factors such as solar radiation, atmospheric composition, and the Earth's surface features. These factors create complex interactions that lead to temperature variations at different altitudes, resulting in the atmosphere having distinct layers with different temperature profiles.


How can you tell if you move from layer to of the atmosphere to another?

Easy, there will differences in temperature and pressure in each atmosphere. Trosphere stratosphere mesosphere and thermosphere (note Trosphere is spelled wrong)


How does the density and temperature change as you move from one atmosphere layer to the next?

As you move from the troposphere to the stratosphere, temperature generally increases with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. Conversely, in the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude because of the decreasing pressure and density of air. Density also decreases with altitude in both the troposphere and stratosphere, as the air becomes less compressed and thinner at higher elevations. This trend continues through the mesosphere and into the thermosphere, where temperature again rises sharply despite the low density.


What happens when a planet moves closer to the sun?

When a planet moves closer to the sun, it experiences an increase in temperature. This can lead to changes in its atmosphere, such as stronger winds or the melting of ice caps. The proximity to the sun can also affect the planet's orbit and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.

As you move up through the mesosphere the temperature?

As you move up through the mesosphere, the temperature decreases. This is because the mesosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that sits above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, where temperatures tend to increase.


Will heat move from the ground to the atmosphere by conduction if air is warmer than the ground?

No because it only transfers of energy as heat through materials


What happens to the temperature as the height of the atmosphere increase?

Generally, the temperature decreases as you move higher in the atmosphere. This is because the air at higher altitudes is less dense and receives less direct sunlight to warm it up. This relationship between temperature and altitude is known as the lapse rate.

What is the layers of atmosphere classified according to changes?

The layers of the atmosphere, classified according to changes in temperature, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The temperature changes as you move upward through these layers, with the troposphere being the lowest and the exosphere being the highest layer.


How does the temperature change as ou travel up through Earth's atmosphere?

The temperature in Earth's atmosphere generally decreases with altitude. This is because the atmosphere gets thinner as you move higher up, and there are fewer air molecules to absorb and retain heat. This leads to a decrease in temperature in the troposphere and stratosphere, but then it can increase in the mesosphere and thermosphere due to absorption of solar radiation.
