The stratosphere is the second layer of Earth's atmosphere. The stratosphere begins above the troposphere and extends approximately 31 miles (50 km) high. According to NIWA, most of the ozone found in Earth's atmosphere is in the stratosphere. Ozone protects us by absorbing harmful UV rays fr...
Neptune’s atmosphere is subdivided into the lower troposphere and the stratosphere with the tropopause being the boundary between the two. In the lower troposphere temperatures decrease with altitude however they increase with altitude in the stratosphere. Hydrocarbons form hazes of smog that appear in...
Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Exosphere What is the Ionosphere? Where is that layer located in our Earth's atmosphere? The ionosphere is actually not considered a true layer of our atmosphere like the aforementioned. It is defined as an electrified region located in the upper area...
In summary, the thermosphere is located between the mesosphere and the exosphere and is the second highest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. First, there is the troposphere, which is near the surface to about 7 miles above and where we see clouds. Then there is the stratosphere, which is ...
A word about people who have helped me directly and indirectly. First and foremost is Uncinus of contrailscience, who has helped me to confront the mysteries of WordPress, as well as providing me and everyone else with good advice and courtesy in both the physics of the atmosphere and the...
gives up the energy it gained by being converted from a liquid to a gas, water vapour, lifted into the atmosphere by convection in air warmed by the ocean surface, all powered by the solar radiative flux, gaining in gravitational potential energy as it is lifted higher into the troposphere....
Neptune’s atmosphere is divided by the tropopause into the lower troposphere and the stratosphere. In the troposphere, the temperature decreases as altitude decreases. In the stratosphere, temperature increases as altitude increases. Ice Giant Neptune is an ice giant along with Uranus. Ice giants ...
Water vapor in the air is the humidity level. Water vapor rises and cools which turns into clouds. Clouds contain water vapor that has condensed onto liquid or frozen water droplets. Clouds are part of the troposphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Here are some examples of the hydrosphere....
