Fog is a cloud at ground level?
Yes, it is just at a lower altitude, and the density of fog can be greater than clouds at higher altitudes.
Cooler temperatures are found at higher?
altitudes
In general what is true about places at higher altitudes?
They have cooler temperatures than places at lower altitudes.
Why do cirrus clouds form only at higher altitudes?
Cirrus clouds are comprised of ice crystals so they are found at high altitudes.
Why does density of air decrease with increase in height?
The density of air decreases with increasing altitude because air at high altitudes is under less pressure.
What happens to density at higher altitudes?
The density of air decreases at higher altitudes.
How does the density of air change from lower to higher in altitudes?
The density of air decreases as altitude increases.
What might limit how high a hot air balloon can get?
The density of hot air is lower than air at low altitudes, but the air at higher altitudes is very thin. A hot air balloon can only rise until its density equals the surrounding air.
What might limit how high a hot air balloon get?
The density of hot air is lower than air at low altitudes, but the air at higher altitudes is very thin. A hot air balloon can only rise until its density equals the surrounding air.
Why ice melts slowly at higher altitudes?
because there is low pressure at higher altitudes
How does higher altitude affect golf club yardage?
As at higher altitudes the density of air decreases, which means that air is thinner. As a result golf ball travels farther at a higher altitude because of decreased drag on the ball.
What effect does high density altitude as compared to low density altitude have on propeller efficiency and why?
Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes. Less efficient slow plane
Is it windier at higher altitudes?
Yes.
In general what true about places at higher altitudes?
They have cooler temperatures than places at lower altitudes.
Fog is a cloud at ground level?
Yes, it is just at a lower altitude, and the density of fog can be greater than clouds at higher altitudes.
Cooler temperatures are found at higher?
altitudes
Does freezing feel colder in high altitudes?
No, though higher altitudes will be at the freezing point more often.
