There are a few layers to the atmosphere however the Troposphere is the largest part of the atmosphere containing 75% of its mass. However the Troposphere contains 99% of the water vapour on the planet as well as Earth's aerosols. It is also where all weather phenomenon will occur.
What else can I help you with?
What are the properties of the troposphere?
The troposphere is characterized by the greatest air density of any atmospheric layer. Also, it has a variable thickness of around 5 to 10 mi from the poles to the equator. The troposphere contains 99% of the water vapor contained in the atmosphere.
What percentage of power stations are nuclear in Russia?
At present nuclear capacity is about 10 percent of the total, but provides more like 15 percent of total consumption. See the link below for more details
Each level in a food chain is called a?
Each level in a food chain in which energy is exchanged is called a trophic order level or simply a trophic level. As a side note only ten percent of the energy exchanged between trophic levels is absorbed. For example, if a cat eats a bird only ten percent of the energy the bird contains that can be utilized cannot exceed ten percent of the total amount of energy present. (Think calories.)
Who discovered the mesosphere the atmospheric layer?
The Layers of the Atmosphere We live at the bottom of an ocean of air - several oceans, in fact, as the atmosphere can be divided into layers distinguished by temperature. Starting at the surface of the earth's crust, the layer which most apparently affects us is called the troposphere. It extends roughly 5 miles above the poles and 10 miles above the equator, and contains about 75% of the total mass of the atmosphere. Due to its closeness to the earth's surface, nearly all water vapor and solid particles (from forest fires, volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuel, for example) are found in this sphere. All of earth's plant and animal life exist within the troposphere or the waters beneath it. Climate and weather are conditions within the troposphere. It is also the layer where most of the heat exchange between the earth and the atmosphere takes place, and where heat is distributed through the overturning of air (tropo means "to turn"). Temperature in the troposphere decreases with height to -76 degrees Fahrenheit. The stratosphere extends to about 30 miles above earth, and can itself be subdivided (strato means "layers") In the lower levels of the stratosphere the temperature remains the same, but in the upper levels the temperature actually increases to roughly the same as that at sea level. This is due to the ozone layer, where a high concentration of ozone, a molecular variation of oxygen, absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun. Because of this temperature distribution the over-turning of air is much less than within the troposphere below, and the stratosphere becomes a kind of giant lid. Debris from violent volcanic eruptions, like Mt. St. Helens in 1980, sometimes enter and remain suspended in the stratosphere for years before settling back to the earth's surface. The troposphere and stratosphere combined contain 99% of the total mass of the atmosphere. In the mesosphere, which extends to about 50 miles, temperature drops again to as low as -173 degrees F. Meteors, small pieces of matter drawn to the atmosphere by earth's gravity, become visible to the naked eye as they enter the mesosphere and are heated through friction caused by collisions with air molecules. These "falling stars" usually disintegrate before they reach the earth's surface. Spectacular meteor showers can be observed at certain times of the year when the earth, in its orbit, passes through a swarm of particles generated from the breakup of a comet. The troposphere, stratosphere and mesosphere make up what is called the lower atmosphere.
What is 6 to 8 percent of total body weight for an adult human?
do u really think i kno
What layer of the atmosphere contains 80 percent of the atmosphere's total mass?
The troposphere
What layer of the atmosphere contains almost 80 percent of the atmosphere's total mass?
troposphere
What layer of the atmosphere contains 80 percent of the atmospheres total mass?
troposphere
What layer containse mostly 80 percent in atmosphere?
The layer of Earth's atmosphere that contains about 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere is the troposphere. This layer is closest to the Earth's surface and is where most weather phenomena occur.
What layer of the atmosphere contains most of the atmosphere's total mass?
The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains most of the atmosphere's total mass. It is the layer where weather occurs and where most of Earth's air is found.
What layer of the atmosphere contains 80 of the atmospheres total mass?
troposphere
What layer of the atmosphere contains almost 80 of the atmospheres total mass?
troposphere
Which layer of the atmosphere has the most of the air?
The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface and contains around 75% of the total mass of the atmosphere. This layer is where most weather phenomena occur and where we find the air we breathe.
True or false The troposphere contains almost all of the mass of the atmosphere?
True. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and contains approximately 75-80% of the total mass of the atmosphere.
What percent of air is in the exosphere?
The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, where air is extremely thin. It contains a very small percentage of the total mass of the atmosphere, with most of the air present in the lower layers. The exosphere consists mainly of hydrogen and helium atoms.
Why there is 75 percent of the atmosphere's mass in the troposphere?
The majority of Earth's atmosphere mass is found in the troposphere because this is where air molecules are most densely packed due to the gravitational pull. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases, leading to a thinning of the atmosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and contains various gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor that together make up 75 percent of the atmosphere's total mass.
What contains about 80 percent of the total mass of your atmosphere?
if you mean air then its nitrogen.. but i dont know anything else
