    Why doesn't air from the troposphere and the stratosphere mix freely?

    • • 1.Air Temperature 2.Air Density 3.Air Pressure 4.UV High energy light 1.Cooler, Denser air & Hotter, less dense air. -Troposphere is less hot than stratosphere. Colder air stays below. Hotter air stays above. 2.Cooler, Denser air & Hotter, less dense air. -Cooler air is denser. Dense things are heavy. Heavy things stay below. Visa-versa. 3.Air pressure and the density of the air also decrease with altitude. -Temperature is directly proportional to pressure If air pressure increases, the temperature must increase.  If air pressure decreases, the temperature decreases. Up above @stratosphere pressure is less. Less pressure; less temperature. Less temperature; colder air. Because of no air turning over, Stratosphere is still hotter than Troposphere e...

    Why does temperature decrease in the mesosphere and increase in the thermosphere?

    • • 1.Conduction, convection and radiation. 2.Height increases; Temperature decreases 3.Radiative Emission 4. 1.Conduction, convection and radiation. The portion of solar radiation received by the earth is called insolation, meaning "incoming solar radiation".  It is received in the form of short waves, and it warms up the earth’s surface.  The earth in turn gives out or radiates that heat it has absorbed back into the atmosphere in the form of a long wave radiation. This is known as terrestrial radiation The atmosphere allows the rays of the sun to pass through without being heated by them (85%). However, it gets warmed by the terrestrial radiation (85%). So, we see that the air around us does not get heated directly by the sun’s rays but indirectly by the heated surface of the earth through conduction and convention currents. Thus, it is clear that the atmosphere receives a larger part o...
