It Decreases by 6.5 degrees Celsius per KM. Most weather occurs here where we live. Convection Currents. At the surface it extends out 6-8 km at the poles and 17 km at the equator. Even though the temperature decreases by 6.5 degrees celsivus per KM, it stabilizes at 12 km

The troposphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere closest to the surface, where most weather events occur. It contains about 75% of the atmosphere's mass and almost all of its water vapor. Temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, creating the conditions for weather and cloud formation.

Which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere?
The lowest layer of the atmosphere is the troposphere. This is where weather events occur, and it extends from the Earth's surface up to about 10-15 kilometers, depending on your location.
Is the troposphere hot or cold?
The troposphere is typically colder as you go higher in altitude. On average, the temperature decreases by about 6.5°C for every kilometer increase in altitude within the troposphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere has the most air?
The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains the most air, as it is the lowest layer where most weather phenomena occur and a majority of Earth's atmospheric gases are concentrated.
How fast does a space shuttle go in the troposphere?
well there here are the layer in order: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere. the troposphere is about sixteen kilometers above sea level, so im guessing in about 2.5 seconds.
What is the difference between the Stratosphere Thermosphere and the Trophoshere?
Stratosphere is the layer above troposphere. Troposphere is the first layer and is below the stratosphere.
What are 2 facts about the troposphere?
1. Weather occurs in the troposphere. 2. The depth of the troposphere varies from 16 km to 9 km.
What are facts about the troposphere?
It contains 99% of the atmosphere's water vapor, it gets heated by Earth's surface, and the lowest part of the Troposphere is the planetary boundary layer, where friction with the Earth's surface influences the air.I like when people try to pee on their own feet.
Is there life in the troposphere?
Yes, the Troposphere is where life is in the Atmosphere! We live in the Troposphere!
How do we know if were in the troposphere?
the troposphere is where people live and the troposphere is the west atmosphere
Which atmospheric layer is closest to the earths crust?
The atmospheric layer closest to the Earth's crust is the troposphere. It is where we live and where most weather phenomena occur.
What are facts about the Trophosphere?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to about 10-12 kilometers. It is where almost all weather phenomena occur, including clouds, precipitation, and temperature changes. The air pressure and temperature decrease with altitude in the troposphere.
What layer of the atmosphere is where most weather takes place?
The layer of the atmosphere where most weather takes place is the troposphere, which is the lowest layer closest to the Earth's surface. It extends up to about 10-15 kilometers in altitude and contains most of the Earth's weather systems, including clouds, precipitation, and storms.
What are two facts about the troposphere?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere where all weather occurs and contains about 75% of the atmosphere's mass. It is where temperature decreases with altitude, and most clouds and water vapor are found in this layer.
Do you live on or in the troposphere?
I believe we live in the troposphere:)
Which come first troposphere or the stratosphere?
Troposphere
What is the next after troposphere?
After the Troposphere comes the Stratosphere.
Where is the pressure greater in the exosphere or in the troposphere?
troposphere
