Because it gets colder the higher you go in the homospere until you get to the ozone layer where sunlight is being pushed another direction. This sunlight makes it warmer and then it startes getting colder the higher you go again

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.


How long for the earth to rotate on itself?

Long, long ago, people noticed that every so often it became warm enough to plant things, and later to harvest them. They noticed that after this, it got colder and colder for a long time, then warmed up again until it was once more time to plant things. They called this period of time the equivalent of "Year". So, a year is the time taken by the Earth to make one full rotation on itself.


How does temperature change as altitude increases through all layers of the atmosphere?

In the troposphere, the temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude due to lower air pressure. In the stratosphere, the temperature remains relatively constant then begins to increase due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone. In the mesosphere and thermosphere, the temperature decreases again as altitude increases due to a decrease in the density of air molecules.

What is the main difference between the four layers of the atmosphere?

The main difference between the four layers of the atmosphere (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere) is their temperature profile. The troposphere gets colder with altitude, the stratosphere gets warmer with altitude, the mesosphere gets colder with altitude again, and the thermosphere experiences high temperatures due to absorption of solar radiation.


What keeps clouds rain and snow restricted to the troposphere?

The higher you get in the troposphere, the colder it gets. However, when you reach the stratosphere the temperature starts to increase. A warm parcel of air rising creates a cumulus cloud, and eventually turns into a cumulonimbus cloud, which is a rain/snow cloud. As the warm updraft relies on colder surrounding air for it to be buoyant, as it gets warmer again it is no longer buoyant and begins to flatten out at the base of the stratosphere, unable to rise any further. Evidence of this is shown at the top of the cloud, which appears flattened like a pancake or appearing like an anvil. So it is this increase of temperature in the stratosphere which keeps rain and snow restricted to the troposphere.


How does temperature change as you go through the atmosphere?

There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.


How do you make your skin become permantly colder?

i reallydont think you can unless you live in the Antarctic but the again im no scientist :D


As elevation rises temperature does what?

In the troposphere, the temperature drops. In the stratosphere (layer above the troposphere) it increases with elevation. In the mesosphere, temperature drops again with elevation. In the theromosphere, it goes up again (to nearly stellar surface temperatures).


How does temperature change as you go higher through the atmosphere?

There are four layers of the atmosphere. At the ground is the troposphere, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Temperature decreases with height through the troposphere, increases in the stratosphere, decreases in the mesosphere, then increases again in the thermosphere.

Where and how do clouds form?

Clouds form in the upper troposphere. They form like this: Water on Earth's surface evaporates (turns into water vapor), and rises. When it gets to the upper troposphere, the water vapor starts turning back into water, staying as mist mostly, and mixes with dust. When the amount of water is to heavy, it starts to precipitate. Then, the precipitation evaporates on Earth's surface and the cycle begins again.


Which layer of the atmosphere has gravity?

The atmosphere is NOT again I repeat NOT a layer. The layers are the exosphere, the thermosphere, the ionosphere, the mesosphere, the stratosphere, the ozonesphere, and the troposphere.


Do matter and energy interact?

Sure; though the details depends on what type of energy you are talking about.For example: objects here on Earth absorb light energy from the Sun, and get hotter in the process. When the heat energy is radiated away again, the object once again gets colder.


What is the temperature at 700 km above earth's surface?

If you've been given a graph, then look at the graph to answer this question.It's not possible to answer it in general because there's so very little atmosphere at this level (it's about twice as high as the International Space Station) that there are hugefluctuations in temperature based on solar activity.However, it's a lot hotter than you might expect based on experience of the part of the atmosphere where people can actually live. The temperature drops considerably with altitude in the lowest level of the atmosphere (the troposphere), then starts to rise again in the stratosphere, then drops again in the mesosphere, then rises again in the thermosphere. 700 km is either in the thermosphere or in the level above that (the exosphere), again depending on solar activity.


Why are guys hot one minute and cold the next?

Flu? No seriously it has been proven that males need to have time to themselves or retreat into their cave that is why they seem cold and the more you harass them the colder they will get leave them alone and they will be hot again in no time
