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.
What else can I help you with?
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
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.
What decreases the higher you go in the atmosphere?
Yes i just found out from a freaking science test
Does heat from the earths surface go through the atmosphere or get blocked?
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.
Is it hot or cold in the atmosphere?
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.
How does the sky change as one gets above earths atmosphere?
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.
What effects the layering of earths atmosphere?
the density and temperature of the layers. The farther you go up, the less dense each layer is.
How does the atmosphere change when you go to high in an airplane?
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.
Does xrays go through earths atmosphere?
No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
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.
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
What happens to the temperature in earths layers?
As you go deeper and deeper the layers will start to get hotter and thicker.
Would air go into space if your earths ozone layer was broken?
No, it won't. Air is pulled in atmosphere by earth's gravity.
How does the characteristics of the atmosphere change as you go higher?
less pressure and cooler temperature
Is it faster to exit or enter the earth's atmosphere?
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.
Is the temperature in the troposhere warm or cold?
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.
What is the color of the moon when it is lunar eclipse?
The moon will go orange/red during a lunar eclipse, as the earths atmosphere distores the light from the sun.
Is the exosphere a real layer?
Yes only rockets go through here after it is outer space that is why it is called the exosphere because your exiting earths atmosphere.
