What else can I help you with?
What planet has the thinner atmosphere of the terrestrial planets?
The thinnest atmosphere belongs to planet Mercury . . . it may have no atmosphere, at all.
What gets higher and trees get shorter as the atmosphere get thinner?
altitude
What is this as this gets higher trees get shorter and the atmosphere gets thinner?
altitude
What type of atmosphere does Mars have?
Mars has a very thin atmosphere that is made mostly of carbon dioxide. About 95% of Mars' atmosphere is made of CO2. There are only traces of the other gasses in its atmosphere like nitrogen and carbon monoxide.It's atmospheric pressure is 7-9 milibars, depending on the season. During winter some of the atmosphere freezes in the poles.
Where is the nearest vacuum in space to earth?
The answer may depend on what definition of vacuum an investigator uses. There really isn't any place in the universe which could be considered a complete (perfect) vacuum. Even in the largest void between galaxies, there are still a few hydrogen atoms.The atmosphere of the Earth doesn't just stop either. We are all familiar with the air around us but the Earth's atmosphere simply gets thinner and thinner as height increases. There isn't a place where the atmosphere suddenly stops and turns into a vacuum.Atmospheric scientists consider 5 layers of the atmosphere:1) troposphere contacts the earth's surface and extends to about 7km upwards at the poles and 17km at the equator2) stratosphere up to about 50 km3) mesosphere varies quite a bit4) thermosphere up to about 400 km5) exosphere which simply extends out into space getting thinner and thinner. At this height molecular collisions rarely occur so temperature loses its normal meaning.
Is the atmosphere thinner at the poles than at the equator?
Yes, the atmosphere is generally thinner at the poles compared to the equator. This is because the Earth's rotation causes the atmosphere to bulge outward at the equator, resulting in higher pressure and greater atmospheric density. Conversely, the poles experience lower pressure and thinner air due to the Earth's shape and the angle of sunlight.
What is the height of atmosphere?
There is no definite boundary between the atmosphere and the outer space. It slowly begins thinner and fades in space.
Is the easrths atmosphere getting thicker or thinner due to global warming?
The atmosphere is becoming Thinner. Global warming depletes the ozone.
What is it when the atmosphere gets thinner?
The atmosphere gets thinner the higher you climb, which is why oxygen tanks are used by climbers scaling Mount Everest.
Is the martian atmosphere much thinner than earth's atmosphere?
yes
Is there air as we know it beyond the earth's atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere gets thinner and thinner as we go away from the earth. It becomes negligible at a point in space. Beyond that, there is no atmosphere, only vaccum.
How have humans added excess amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere?
People added carbon dioxide to the Earth's atmosphere by polluting with fires, carbon dioxide from cars, smoke, and other things that pollute the Earth's atmosphere. Also, when we pollute the atmosphere gets thinner and more heat is coming in and the ice in the poles would melt and increase the water level in the ocean.
What is the difference in the atmosphere of earth and Mars?
mars atmosphere is thinner and lacks oxygen or water
What planet has the thinner atmosphere of the terrestrial planets?
The thinnest atmosphere belongs to planet Mercury . . . it may have no atmosphere, at all.
Where in the atmosphere is ozone problematic?
The ozone is problematic in poles. The poles are the one that have maximum depleted.
What gets higher and trees get shorter as the atmosphere get thinner?
altitude
As elevation increases this becomes thinner?
The atmosphere. As you go higher in elevation, the atmosphere becomes thinner because the air pressure decreases, leading to lower air density.
