What else can I help you with?
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
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.
How high does the atmosphere go above the Earth's surface?
The atmosphere extends about 600 kilometers (373 miles) above the Earth's surface.
What is free atmosphere?
The free atmosphere refers to the layer of the Earth's atmosphere above the planetary boundary layer where air moves freely and is not influenced by the Earth's surface. It is typically above the lowest few kilometers of the atmosphere and is important for understanding atmospheric processes on a larger scale.
What is the above of the photosphere?
The layer above the photosphere is called the chromosphere. It is a region of the Sun's atmosphere where temperatures increase with altitude. Above the chromosphere lies the corona, which is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere.
Above the arctic what is cold all the time?
The cold atmosphere is above the Arctic.
Is the mesosphere below or above the earth?
its above the earth. it is one of the layers of the atmosphere.
