Why does the temperature go up when you go up int earths atmosphere?

Short answer: Absorption / emission of light. The atmosphere gets thick enough that the oxygen and nitrogen there absorb UV-C and more energetic light, ozone absorbs UV-B (from above) and some infrared (both from above and below, ozone is a greenhouse gas). Where there is little ozone, there is little indication of temperature.

∙ 9y agoThe reason for the increase in temperature of the atmosphere is the increase in greenhouse gas levels in the air. When we burn any kind of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we release carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for 300 million years. This increase is holding more heat in the atmosphere.

How does the sky change as one gets above earths atmosphere?
because you go into space which is pitch black, the azure hue is gone
What is the altitude when the temperature approaches -90C?
Around 80 km in height in the mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere of Earth. The temperature decreases as you go up, as in the troposphere. It can be up to -90 ° C. It is the coldest part of the atmosphere.
What does the temperature do as you increase in altitude?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases because there are less molecules in the atmosphere to hold in the heat.
How can groundwater return to the atmosphere?
Well one way it can return to the atmosphere is it can evaporate and go up. Another way is that it can turn to runoff, water that cannot soak into the ground and instead flows across Earths surface.
What decreases the higher you go in the atmosphere?
Yes i just found out from a freaking science test
What effects the layering of earths atmosphere?
the density and temperature of the layers. The farther you go up, the less dense each layer is.
How does the atmosphere change when you go to high in an airplane?
The air becomes less dense, the higher you go. And generally, the temperature gets colder until you reach the thermosphere, which is the hottest part of Earths atmosphere.
How far do you have to travel in order to leave the earths atmosphere and go into space?
== ==
What can go wrong when a spaceship enters earths atmosphere?
Burn up
Does xrays go through earths atmosphere?
No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
What speed must a space shuttle get to escape earth's orbit?
i think you mean atmosphere they normally go about 200,000 miles an hour when leaving earths atmosphere
What happens to the temperature in earths layers?
As you go deeper and deeper the layers will start to get hotter and thicker.
How does the characteristics of the atmosphere change as you go higher?
less pressure and cooler temperature
Would air go into space if your earths ozone layer was broken?
No, it won't. Air is pulled in atmosphere by earth's gravity.
Is it faster to exit or enter the earth's atmosphere?
its faster to enter Earths atmosphere because our gravitational pull pulls anything in , and this is why rockets have to have a lot of power to go out of the atmosphere because the gravitational pull keeps us on its surface.
