Mars's atmosphere is divided into layers including the troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, etc. The thermosphere is the layer
that is furthest from Mars's surface. The distance from Mars and the thermosphere's temperature have a positive association.
Interpret the meaning of the positive association with respect to the temperature.

A. As you move closer to Mars, the temperature increases.
B. As you move away from Mars, the temperature increases.
C. As you move away from Mars, the temperature decreases.
D. As you move away from Mars, the temperature remains the same.
E. As you move closer to Mars, the temperature remains the same.​

Answer 1

(B)As you move away from Mars, the temperature increases.

Explanation:

I took the test and got it right :)

Answer 2

B. As you move away from Mars, the temperature increases.

Explanation:

Two variables are said to have a positive association when an increase in the values of one variable lead to an increase in the values of the other variable.

If the distance from Mars and the thermosphere's temperature have a positive association. Then as you move away from Mars(distance increases), the temperature increases.
