troposphere
how high is the troposphere
13 kilometers high
how high is the stratosphere
50 miles high
what is in the Mesosphere
meteors
how high is the Thermosphere
620 miles high
does the Exosphere fad out into open space
yes
this is only the rain { hint}
do we live in the troposphere
yes
does most hot air balloons fly in the strato [stratosphere]
cannot fly in the stratosphere
how high is the Mesosphere
135 km
how hot is the Thermosphere
2000 Celsius
how high is the Exosphere in feet
[hint] in the millions
1,640,000 to 3,280,000
what is the order of the atmosphere [hint] they are shortened versions
tropo,strato,meso,thermo,exo
can airplanes fly in the stratosphere
yes [usually]
how did the Mesosphere get its name
from Greek words meaning "middle sphere"
what is 1 thing that is in the Thermosphere
thin air
how hot is the Exosphere
3,632f
how hot or cold is it
62f
Why does temperature increase with altitude in the stratosphere while it decreases in the troposphere
The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which absorbs high-energy ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and converts it into heat
when was the Mesosphere discovered
1902
why is the thermosphere
gets its name from the Greek word thermos, which means heat
who discovered the Exosphere
G. J. Stoney in 1868.
Why is the troposphere much thicker at the equator than at the North and South Poles
The equator receives direct sunlight. This strong heat warms the air, causes it to expand, and pushes it higher through strong convection currents
Why is the stratosphere exceptionally stable and devoid of convective weather
The warmer air sits above the cooler air in this layer (a thermal inversion), which prevents vertical mixing and makes the air very stable
what company/human discovered the Mesosphere
Léon Teisserenc de Bort [human]
does anything fly in the thermosphere if so what [1 thing]
spacecraft [yes]
what year was the Exosphere discovered
1868
