Layer Up
This layer of the atmosphere contains the life-saving gas Ozone, which prevents Ultra-Violet Rays from harming all living things.
Stratosphere
A styrofoam cup prevents us form burning ourselves, because it acts as this substance that is good at trapping heat.
Insulator
All energy initially comes from this celestial body, and can never be created nor destroyed as a result.
Sun
Also known as the "weight of air," it tends to decrease as altitude increases.
Air Pressure
These clouds are wispy with very thin strands, with a name that translates from latin as "hair."
Cirrus
This layer of the atmosphere contains all life on planet Earth, as well as all weather events.
Troposphere
The form of heat we get from light, fire, and even our sun. It is usually so hot that we can feel it without even touching it.
Radiation
The boiling point for this unit of measurement is 212 degrees, and was based on the temperature of pickling brine.
Fahreinheit
Described as a percentage, this is the amount of water vapor that the air can contain at any given time.
Relative Humidity
Flat clouds that are stretched out are called this.
Stratus
This layer of the atmosphere is known for its high altitude, which contributes to the high temperatures for which it is named.
Thermosphere
This is the process of applying heat by direct contact, most often seen when you are cooking.
Conduction
The freezing point for this unit of measurement is 0 degrees, and is the standard of most of the world.
Celcius
This is the temperature in which water vapor in the air condenses, and is often found at the beginning of each day.
Dew Point
These clouds are darker in color, and usually produce some form of precipation.
Nimbus
The thinnest layer of our atmosphere, known for its extremely cold temperatures and tendency to burn up meteoroids.
Mesosphere
Hot air balloons are able to rise because the hot air wants to rise. The method behind this process is this method of heat transfer
Convection
As the kinetic energy of the molecules in a substances increases, this increases as well.
Temperature
Water will take longer to heat up than copper will, because of this property unique to each material.
Specific Heat
Cumulus
The International Space Station finds its home at this layer of Earth's atmosphere, named for the fact that it is the exit into outer space.
Exosphere
Metals, such as aluminum, are very effective at transferring heat and are called this as a result.
Conductor
This is the temperature at which all molecular motion stops, created by this English Lord who was knighted for this discovery.
0 Kelvin
This tool has a dry and a wet bulb, and when both temperatures are nearly the same then that indicates a high relative humidity.
Psychrometer
These are tiny solid or liquid aerosol particles—such as dust, sea salt, soot, or volcanic ash—that act as surfaces for water vapor to condense onto in the atmosphere.
