The height of the Tropopause depends mainly on the Latitude.
At the Poles, it is about 30,000' and at the equator it is about 60,000. This number varies with a change in temperature/season. It is higher at the equator due to a naturally higher temperature at sea level, this means the parcel of air has a lower density. Because of the lower density the parcel of air will be more 'stretched out' than the air at the poles (the colder parcel of air with a higher density).

∙ 9y agoThe tropopause is found at the point where air ceases to cool with height, and becomes almost completely dry. It is the atmospheric boundary between the stratosphere and the troposphere.

What layer of the atmosphere do the temperatures get the warmest?
Tropopause
In which layer of the atmosphere is the jet stream located?
The jet stream is located in the tropopause. This is the layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The jet stream is very strong wind that blows eastward.
In which portion of the Earths atmosphere is the satellite located at 75km away from earth?
Troposphere
Earths position in the atmosphere?
Earth isn't in the atmosphere - the atmosphere is part of Earth.
How much of the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen?
The earths atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen
What are the seven layers of earths atmosphere?
The thermosphere exosphere ionosphere mesosphere stratosphere tropopause and the trophosphere
What is located immediately above the tropopause?
The tropopause is the boundary layer in the Earth's atmosphere from the troposphere below and the stratosphere above.
What layer of the atmosphere do the temperatures get the warmest?
Tropopause
What separates the layered gases in the atmosphere by their what?
Tropopause, stratopause, and mesopause separates the parts of the atmosphere. Tropopause separates troposphere and stratosphere.
Why is hubble located on the outside of earths atmosphere?
because it has to be

What is the second densest layer of Earth's atmosphere?
Tropopause
In which layer of the atmosphere is the jet stream located?
The jet stream is located in the tropopause. This is the layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The jet stream is very strong wind that blows eastward.
What do the stratopause tropopause and the mesopause all have in common?
The stratopause, tropopause, and mesopause are all interfaces between two layers of the atmosphere.
Where are earths layers located?
Earth's layer are located in the atmosphere. Ozone layer is one of them.
Is located immediately below the stratosphere?
In the atmosphere: The Troposphere is the layer beneath the Stratosphere, with the boundary referred to as the Tropopause. In Las Vegas: The hotel lobby and casino.
