The Thermosphere is where the temperature can reach 2700oF (1500oC) due to the high kinetic energy of the particles. However, there are very few particles so that even though the temperature is high, there is actually very little heat; this is a technical paradox caused by the way we define temperature and heat. In other words, a person would freeze to death in the Thermosphere even though the temperature is over 1000 degrees; go figure. The only part of the Earth's atmosphere that has significant heat is the Troposphere near the Earth's surface.

What else can I help you with?
What occurs during temperature inversion?
A temperature inversion occurs when air temperature at the upper layer are much warmer than the lower layer of air..
In which temperature zones does the atmospheric temperature increase as the distance above sea level increases?
The temperature zones in which the atmospheric temperature increases as the distance above sea level increases are the stratosphere and the thermosphere.
What keeps the ozone layer in place?
The ozone layer is kept in place by the Earth's stratosphere, a region of the atmosphere where temperature increases with altitude. This temperature gradient prevents the ozone from drifting away and helps it to remain concentrated in the stratosphere.
What layer does the temperature increase because of ozone absorption of UV?
The stratosphere is the layer where the temperature increases due to the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) radiation by ozone. This absorption of UV radiation heats up the stratosphere, creating a temperature inversion where the temperature increases with altitude.
What is the temperature of the second layer of the atmosphere?
Assuming you're going from the bottom up, the second layer of atmosphere is the stratosphere and it ranges in temperature from approximately -56 degrees C to -2 degrees C. Unlike the troposphere where the temperatures cool as altitude increases, in the stratosphere the temperatures actually get warmer the higher you go.
When does temperature occur?
A layer in the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude.
Which layer of the atmosphere has increasing temperature?
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere where temperature increases with altitude. This is due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, which heats up the surrounding air.
The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere and in which temperature decreases as altitude increases?
The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere is called the mesosphere. In this layer, temperature decreases as altitude increases due to a decrease in the concentration of ozone molecules that absorb and scatter the sun's rays. The mesosphere is also the region where most meteoroids burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.
Which layer of the earths atmosphere contains no wate vapor has an atmosphere pressure less than 1.0 atmosphere and has air temperature that increases wth altitude?
The layer of the Earth's atmosphere that fits this description is the thermosphere. In the thermosphere, there is little to no water vapor, the atmospheric pressure is less than 1.0 atmosphere, and the air temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation.
What occurs during temperature inversion?
A temperature inversion occurs when air temperature at the upper layer are much warmer than the lower layer of air..
What is the layer that temperature increase in space?
The layer where temperature increases in space is called the thermosphere. This layer is located between the mesosphere and exosphere in Earth's atmosphere. The temperature in the thermosphere can reach thousands of degrees Fahrenheit due to the absorption of solar radiation.
What happenes to the temperature as you ascend into the first three layers of the atmosphere?
In the troposphere (first layer), temperature usually decreases with altitude, known as the tropospheric lapse rate. In the stratosphere (second layer), temperature remains constant or increases slightly with altitude due to the presence of the ozone layer. In the mesosphere (third layer), temperature decreases again with altitude.
In which temperature zones does the atmospheric temperature increase as the distance above sea level increases?
The temperature zones in which the atmospheric temperature increases as the distance above sea level increases are the stratosphere and the thermosphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere maintains an almost uniform temperature?
The stratosphere maintains an almost uniform temperature due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, which causes a temperature inversion where the temperature increases with altitude.
What is the pattern of temperature changes within each layer of the atmosphere?
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude due to decreasing air pressure. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by the ozone layer. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases with altitude. In the thermosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation.
Which layer is temperature increasing with increasing altitude?
The layer in which temperatures increase with elevation is the troposphere. This is the layer above the surface of the Earth. The troposphere contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer.
What keeps the ozone layer in place?
The ozone layer is kept in place by the Earth's stratosphere, a region of the atmosphere where temperature increases with altitude. This temperature gradient prevents the ozone from drifting away and helps it to remain concentrated in the stratosphere.
