Question

Draw the layers of the atmosphere to scale using 1 inch = 100 km Label each of the atmospheric labels and define them, be sure to note the important facts about each layer Be sure to note the temperature ranges found in each layer and if they are increasing or decreasing Next to this figure, draw a pie chart indicating the percentages of gases that make up Earth’s atmosphere. Label each gas as uniform or variable. Draw the following at the correct altitude - satellite, meteor, ozone layer, weather balloon, space shuttle, airliner, and apache helicopter, aurora borealis Describe the 3 ways in which energy is transferred in the atmosphere

Answer 1

Ok. Here's what I got...

Step-by-step explanation:

Troposphere- The lowest layer. It extends up to 6-10 km.

Stratosphere- The layer of the earth's atmosphere that's is above the troposphere. It extends to about 50km above the earth's surface.

Mesosphere- The layer above the stratosphere. It extends to about 50-80 km above earth's surface.

Thermosphere- The layer above the mesosphere. It extends very far out so we classify it using temperature and height.

Exosphere- The outer most layer of the earth's atmosphere.

Altitudes (From earth):

satellite- 160-2000 km

meteor- 76-100 km

ozone layer- 32km

weather balloon- 39 km before they pop

space shuttle- 304-528 km (Above sea level)

airliner- 31,000-38,000 ft

Apache helicopter- 2,889 meters

How energy gets transferred:

Radiation

Conduction

Convection
