What layer has a steady temperature?

The correct answer is Stratosphere. It is the second layer of the atmosphere. It extends up to 50km in height.

What is the temperature layer?

The thermosphere is often considered the "hot layer" because it contains the warmest temperatures in the atmosphere. Temperature increases with height until the estimated top of the thermosphere at 500 km.

What are the two layers of temperature?

Temperature decreases with altitude in two of Earth's atmospheric regions: the troposphere and the mesosphere. The troposphere is the region closest to the ground, and the mesosphere is just above the ozone layer.

Which layer controls the temperature of the earth?

The Thermosphere

75 percent of the entire atmosphere is comprised of the troposphere, which is the lowest level of the atmosphere. It extends to a maximum height of 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) at the equator. It's in this layer that the majority of weather is determined/occurs.

In what layer is the temperature the lowest?

The lowest layer is the troposphere where most of the atmospheric gases and all of the planet's weather are located. The troposphere is heated from the ground, so temperature decreases with altitude. Because warm air rises and cool air sinks, the troposphere is unstable.

What is the coolest layer?

The lithosphere is the coolest layer of the Earth in terms of temperature, with the heat from the lower layers generating the plate movements.

Why is the thermosphere so hot?

Much of the X-ray and UV radiation from the Sun is absorbed in the thermosphere. When the Sun is very active and emitting more high energy radiation, the thermosphere gets hotter and expands or "puffs up". Because of this, the height of the top of the thermosphere (the thermopause) varies.

Which is the warmest layer of the earth?

The inner core is the hottest layer, above 9000 Fahrenheit and it is 1250 km thick! Crust: The Earth's thinnest layer!

What layer do planes fly?

Commercial jet aircraft fly in the lower stratosphere to avoid the turbulence which is common in the troposphere below. The stratosphere is very dry; air there contains little water vapor. Because of this, few clouds are found in this layer; almost all clouds occur in the lower, more humid troposphere.

Which place is the coldest Why?

Oymyakon is the coldest permanently-inhabited place on Earth and is found in the Arctic Circle's Northern Pole of Cold. In 1933, it recorded its lowest temperature of -67.7°C.

What is the coldest temperature in the stratosphere?

The temperature in the stratosphere ranges from negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 51 degrees Celsius) at the troposphere boundary to negative 5 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 15 degrees Celsius) at the top. The temperature increase is due to the ozone layer that absorbs ultraviolet light from solar radiation.

Why are the thermosphere and exosphere the warmest?

The thermosphere and the exosphere together form the upper atmosphere. ... Because there are relatively few molecules and atoms in the thermosphere, even absorbing small amounts of solar energy can significantly increase the air temperature, making the thermosphere the hottest layer in the atmosphere.

What determines the temperature of a layer of the atmosphere?

The temperature gradient in each layer is determined by the heat source of the layer. Most of the important processes of the atmosphere take place in the lowest two layers: the troposphere and the stratosphere.

Is the stratosphere hot or cold?

Within the stratosphere temperatures increase with altitude (see temperature inversion); the top of the stratosphere has a temperature of about 270 K (−3°C or 26.6°F).

Which layer contains the ozone layer?

Most atmospheric ozone is concentrated in a layer in the stratosphere, about 9 to 18 miles (15 to 30 km) above the Earth's surface (see the figure below). Ozone is a molecule that contains three oxygen atoms. At any given time, ozone molecules are constantly formed and destroyed in the stratosphere.

What is the temperature range in the troposphere?

Temperatures at the tropopause range from as low as −80 °C (−112 °F) in the tropics to −50 °C (−58 °F) in polar regions.
