Over 99% of the mass of the earth's atmosphere is contained in two layers: the troposphere and the stratosphere. Most of the earth's atmosphere (80 to 90%) is found in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer where we live. This layer, where the earth's weather occurs, is within about 12 km (7 miles) of the earth's surface.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between troposphere and tropopause?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather occurs and temperature decreases with altitude. The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, marking a stable layer where temperature stops decreasing with altitude.
Describe the temperature changes that occur as you move upward through the troposphere?
The temperature gets colder as you go upward in the troposphere. Light from the Sun heats the ground. The warm ground gives off the heat as infrared "light". The IR energy heats the troposphere. The lowest part of the troposphere is the warmest because it is closest to the ground, where the heat is coming from.
What phenomena occur in the troposphere?
In the troposphere, phenomena such as weather patterns, cloud formation, precipitation, and atmospheric turbulence occur. Temperature decreases with altitude in this layer, which leads to convection currents that drive many of these processes. Additionally, the majority of Earth's weather events take place in the troposphere.
What is a cloud that forms high up in the troposphere?
A cirrus cloud is a high-altitude cloud that forms in the troposphere. It is composed of ice crystals and has a wispy, feathery appearance. Cirrus clouds often indicate fair weather but can also precede a change in the weather.
What is the difference between troposphere and the thermoshpere?
The difference between the troposphere and the thermosphere is the troposphere is the second layer of the atmosphere where all of the birds hot air balloons and airplanes fly. The Thermosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere where their is less oxygen.
What is the pressure high or low in troposphere?
about how low is the troposphere
Will zak and Zeke get above the troposphere?
no!!!because the air pressure will be too high and there won't be enough oxygen for them to be able to breath
How high up does the troposphere go?
The troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, extends from the surface of the Earth up to a height that varies between about 9 km (or 30,000 ft) at the poles and 17 km (or 56,000 ft) at the equator.
What atmosphere does a helicopter go in?
they fly in the troposphere.
What part of the troposphere is a cumulonimbus cloud located?
The Cumulonimbus cloud develops in the lower part of the troposphere, near the Earth's surface, and can reach high into the troposphere. This cloud can be a sign of dangerous storms to come.
Why is the troposphere?
because with out the troposphere we wouldn't have oxygen to breath. also we wouldn't have clouds forming because they occur in the troposphere also. with out clouds we would go into drought and dye.
Is the troposphere hot or cold?
The troposphere is typically colder as you go higher in altitude. On average, the temperature decreases by about 6.5°C for every kilometer increase in altitude within the troposphere.
What is the temperature in troposphere?
the troposphere is the closest layer to earth, so it would be the coldest right? no. the troposphere uses greenhouse gasses to trap in the heat I'm not sure what the exact temperature is but....there you go!! :)

Does the troposphere have oxygen?
Oh yes. The troposphere is the lowest level of the atmosphere, the level that we live and breathe in, and it does have lots of oxygen in it, until you get to very high altitudes.
What are the bands of high speed winds that blow in the upper troposphere are called?
jetstreams
What do you think happened to the balloons that are used to carry instrument high into the atmosphere when they reach high altitudes?
I would assume that they would pop somewhere above the troposphere at about 35 kilometers, because it is said that balloons pop when they enter the stratosphere which is located directly above the troposphere. The troposphere is around 30 kilometers thick.
