☆☆☆☆☆The thermosphere is the first layer of the atmosphere where there are enough heavier molecules (oxygen) to absorb a significant anount of the Sun's radiation. Below the thermosphere, much of the heat is dissipated by convective currents.
Although technically "hot", the gas in the thermosphere is so thin that it can pass little heat to other molecules, and loss of heat by radiation would still cool objects in this part of the atmosphere.
the sun's radiation strikes it first
Respiration :)
Most plants use single nitrogen atoms, not N2 molecules.
Humans live their lives in the troposphere.
The sides of the valley heating more quickly than the air around it
The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
Black shirts absorb more and reflect less radiation.
IT is closest to the sun
The only difference - is the direction of flow. A sea breeze blows from the sea onto the land. A land breeze flows in the opposite direction.
