The most abundant gas molecule in the Atmosphere is nitrogen.
What is the most abundant gas in the Atmosphere?

The definition of density is the amount of mass in a given volume of air is its density. You can calculate density by dividing mass by volume. DENSITY= MASS\VOLUME.
What is the definition of Density?
100
The definition of troposphere is changing or turning. It holds all life and existence. Also weather occurs in this layer.
What is the definition of troposphere? What does it hold?
100
Electromagnetic waves.
What is a form of energy that can travel through space?
100
Radiation.
What is the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?
200
All the names of the gases that make up the Atmosphere are nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and many other gases, as well as particles of solids and liquids.
What are all the names of the gas particles that make up the Atmosphere?
200
Pressure.
What is the force pushing on an area of the surface, it is a denser substance that has more mass per unit volume than a less dense one?
200
There are 3 minor layers and 4 major layers, which means there are 7 in all. All the minor layers are Ozonosphere, Ionosphere, and Exosphere. The 4 major layers are Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere.
What is the amount of layers in the atmosphere? ( Minor and Major layers all together.) Name the minor layers? Name the major layers?

The definition of radiation is the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
What is the definition of radiation?
200
Conduction, convection, and radiation.
What is the name of all three heat transfers?
300
The cause of acid rain is from power plants and factories from burning coal and oil. These gases react with water vapor in the air, forming nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
What is the cause of acid rain?
300
Density is the amount in a given volume of air.
What is the amount of mass in a given volume of air?
300
The Troposphere because all the other layers put pressure on the layer on the bottom.
What is the densest layer of the atmosphere?
300
The three different types of radiation are visible light, infrared radiation, and a small amount of ultraviolet radiation.
What are the names of the three different types of radiation?
300
The definition for conduction is a direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that is touching.
What is the definition of conduction?
400
Photochemical Smog is a thick, brownish haze formed when certain gases in the air react to the sunlight.
What is photochemical smog?
400
The mercury barometer and aneroid barometer are the two types of barometers.
What is the two types of barometers people use to measure air pressure?
400
The definition of Mesosphere is middle.
What is the definition of Mesosphere?
400
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, or as it is called ROYGBIV.
What is the colors in the visible light spectrum?
400
Convection.
What is a transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid?
500
When acid rain falls into a pond or lake, it changes the conditions there. Many fish, and particularly their eggs, cannot survive in more acidic water. It also damages plants, damages buildings, and whole forests have been destroyed by acid rain.
What is the effect on the environment after acid rain has fallen?
500
Air Pressure.
What is the thing that mercury barometers and aneroid barometer measure?
500
Ionosphere and Exosphere.
What is the names of the two minor layers that split the thermosphere?
500
The definition of ultraviolet radiation is where the wavelengths are shorter than violet light.
What is the definition of ultraviolet radiation?
500
The types of radiation are infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet radiation.
What is the types of radiation?
