Short answer: Absorption / emission of light. The atmosphere gets thick enough that the oxygen and nitrogen there absorb UV-C and more energetic light, ozone absorbs UV-B (from above) and some infrared (both from above and below, ozone is a greenhouse gas). Where there is little ozone, there is little indication of temperature.
As you go higher in the atmosphere, the temperature generally decreases. This is because the atmosphere becomes less dense and there are fewer molecules to retain heat.
Yes i just found out from a freaking science test
Most of the heat from the Earth's surface is able to pass through the atmosphere. However, certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide and water vapor, can trap some of this heat through a process called the greenhouse effect. This phenomenon helps regulate Earth's temperature and keep it habitable.
The temperature of the atmosphere varies by location, altitude, and time of day. Generally, the atmosphere gets colder as you go higher in altitude, with the average temperature around 59°F (15°C) at the Earth's surface. High in the atmosphere, temperatures can drop to below -100°F (-73°C) in the mesosphere.
As one gets above Earth's atmosphere, the sky transitions from a gradient of blue to black due to the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere. Beyond the atmosphere, the sky appears completely black as there is no atmosphere to scatter sunlight, revealing the vast darkness of space.
the density and temperature of the layers. The farther you go up, the less dense each layer is.
The air becomes less dense, the higher you go. And generally, the temperature gets colder until you reach the thermosphere, which is the hottest part of Earths atmosphere.
No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.

temperature and altitude
As you go deeper and deeper the layers will start to get hotter and thicker.
No, it won't. Air is pulled in atmosphere by earth's gravity.
less pressure and cooler temperature
its faster to enter Earths atmosphere because our gravitational pull pulls anything in , and this is why rockets have to have a lot of power to go out of the atmosphere because the gravitational pull keeps us on its surface.
Cold because the higher up you go in the atmosphere the colder it gets, but the warmest layer of the atmosphere is the thermoshere. Also a good indication of the temperature of a layer in the atmosphere is to look at the weather, because on a good sized mountain there is snow at the top.
The moon will go orange/red during a lunar eclipse, as the earths atmosphere distores the light from the sun.
Yes only rockets go through here after it is outer space that is why it is called the exosphere because your exiting earths atmosphere.
