Based on the graph, can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that is closer to the sun), the hotter the temperature? Why or why not
Not on your life. The highest layers of the atmosphere are the coldest, and the hottest season in the US occurs at the time when the Earth is farthest away from the sun.
No, you cannot generalize that the higher layers of the atmosphere are hotter due to proximity to the sun. While the thermosphere, the uppermost layer, can reach high temperatures, this is due to the absorption of solar radiation rather than proximity to the sun. In contrast, the troposphere, which is closest to Earth's surface, typically experiences a decrease in temperature with altitude due to the way air pressure and heat distribution work. Thus, temperature behavior in the atmosphere is influenced by various factors, not just distance from the sun.
As you get closer to the equator, the temperature tends to rise due to the more direct angle at which the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface. This angle results in more concentrated heat energy, leading to warmer temperatures near the equator.
It get's closer.
Higher temperature air is less dense.Less-Dense air has a higher temperature

it's closer to the equator
Because Laos is closer to the equator.
Atoms get closer at lower temperature and more apart at higher temperature. It is about kinetic energy of the atom. Higher temperature is higher energy to fight with intermolecular force so it move apart. Without the kinetic energy, atom had no power to fight against these force and it come very near to each other.
Under normal conditions, yes.
Laos. Because Laos is closer to the equator.
because the upper part of the stratosphere is closer to the sun, which means the temperature is higher or greater in the upper part.:);)
It increases. The closer you get to the Earth's core - the higher the pressure (and temperature).
As you move closer to the core of the Earth, both pressure and temperature increase. The increase in pressure is due to the weight of the overlying rocks and materials compressing the layers below. The increase in temperature is mainly a result of the Earth's internal heat and radioactive decay of elements.
Density and temperature of air are inversely related. As temperature increases, air molecules move faster and spread out, leading to a decrease in density. Conversely, as temperature decreases, air molecules slow down, causing them to pack closer together and resulting in an increase in density.
