In the atmosphere a hot air layer is found above a cold air layer How is the separation achieved and why does hot air always tend to rise?
Ekisman
It is because a hot air is a light matter while a cold air is a heavy matter of gas. Like, the difference of low(hot) pressure and high(cold) pressure area.

If jet planes fly at 35000 feet how many miles above earth?
35K Feet = 10.668 KM Atmosphere = 560 KM Airplane at 35,000 feet would be above approximately 1.9% of the earth's atmosphere.
In which layer of the atmosphere do communications satellites orbit?
Satellites should orbit the earth above the atmosphere. If satellites fall down into the atmosphere, every time they hit an air molecule, it will make them hotter. If they hit enough air molecules, it will make them real hot and slow them down. Then like a flaming meteor, they burn up as they streak across the sky.
What is the definition of atmosphere that relates specifically to the air above the surface of the earth?
The gaseous mass or envelope surrounding a celestial body.
The free atmosphere lies above what height?
The top of the atmosphere is not well defined. Rather, the gases (primarily nitrogen and oxygen) comprising the atmosphere gradually thin the higher one goes. Air pressure is 100 kPa at sea level (14.7 psi) and falls to 50 kPa (7.25 psi) about a mile above sea level. Half the weight of the atmosphere is within the first 3.5 miles (18,000 feet) of sea level. At 15,000 feet (3 miles above sea level) atmospheric pressure drops to 10 kPa (1.5 psi). 90% of the atmosphere is below 52,000 feet (10 miles). There is still enough air to support jet aircraft above 30,000 feet, and high altitude balloons will ascend to over 100,000 feet (nearly 20 miles). At 20 miles above the earth the day time sky turns quite black, and you can see the hazy boundary between air and space. For most purposes you could say it ranges anywhere from 20 to 100 miles.
Why are the parts of a atmosphere warmer than others?
because of air temperature
What atmosphere is the hubble telescope located in?
It is above the atmosphere and not in any atmosphere.
Why it is cold above the atmosphere?
It is not necessarily cold above the atmosphere. In direct sunlight, it can be quite hot.
How far is the atmosphere from earth?
The atmosphere is from the area just above the ground to 1200 miles above ground
Are the five layers of the atmosphere in earth or out of earth?
The atmosphere is above the earth.
What factor causes atmosphere pressure?
Weight of the atmosphere above a surface.
Where is the atmosphere found?
Above the earth.
Where is atmosphere found?
Above the earth.
What fraction of the atmosphere is above 8.5km?
The answer depends on whether you want the mass of the atmosphere, the depth (height) or the volume above 8.5 km.
What is free atmosphere?
Free Atmosphere or Free Air is a part of the atmosphere that lies above the Earths frictional influence.
What states can you find in the atmosphere?
there is gaseous states can find above 10 km in the atmosphere.
What animals live in the atmosphere?
All animals that live above the sea live in the atmosphere.
What is above the crust?
The oceans, the atmosphere and the biosphere
