Tropopause The troposphere extends upwards from right above the boundary layer, and ranges in height from an average of 9 km (5.6 mi; 30,000 ft) at the poles, to 17 km (11 mi; 56,000 ft) at the Equator. In the absence of inversions and not considering moisture, the temperature lapse rate for this layer is 6.5 °C per kilometer, on average, according to the U.S. Standard Atmosphere.

Structure of the Atmosphere Figure A shows the placement of the different layers of the atmosphere and how the temperature changes with height as you go from the ground up to space. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer where we live and where weather happens.Temperature in this layer generally decreases with height. The boundary between the stratosphere and the troposphere is called the tropopause.igure A shows the placement of the different layers of the atmosphere and how the temperature changes with height as you go from the ground up to space.

- Within this layer, temperature increases as altitude increases (see temperature inversion) ; the top of the stratosphere has a temperature of about 270 K (−3 °C or 26.6 °F), just slightly below the freezing point of water.

What is the relationship between temperature and altitude? Report Abuse. This answer is about the conditions in the troposphere (the lowest 25000-50000 ft (8-15 km) of the atmosphere): Generally, and averagely, the temperature decreases with altitude.hus vertical air motions act to heat the lower atmosphere and cool the higher. The combined effect of those, as a few people mentioned, is that temperature on the average decreases with altitude in the troposphere-at a rate of 6.5 °C per km (3.6 °F per 1000 ft.). Yet the lapse rate varies depending on conditions.

(b). The Layered Atmosphere Average depth of the troposphere is approximately 11 kilometers as displayed in Figure 7b-1. About 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere is contained in troposphere. It is also the layer where the majority of our weather occurs (Figure 7b-2). Maximum air temperature also occurs near the Earth's surface in this layer. zone with constant temperature in the atmosphere is called an isothermal layer. From an altitude of 20 to 50 kilometers, temperature increases with an increase in altitude. The higher temperatures found in this region of the stratosphere occurs because of a localized concentration of ozone gas molecules.

Thermosphere - overview Solar activity strongly influences temperature in the thermosphere. The thermosphere is typically about 200° C (360° F) hotter in the daytime than at night, and roughly 500° C (900° F) hotter when the Sun is very active than at other times.Temperatures in the upper thermosphere can range from about 500° C (932° F) to 2,000° C (3,632° F) or higher.The boundary between the thermosphere and the exosphere above it is called the thermopause. At the bottom of the thermosphere is the mesopause, the boundary between the thermosphere and the mesosphere below.emperatures in the upper thermosphere can range from about 500° C (932° F) to 2,000° C (3,632° F) or higher. The boundary between the thermosphere and the exosphere above it is called the thermopause.

Does density of air decrease or increase with altitude and relation of this with temperature? [closed] So the temperature of the air near the earth's surface is greater and the value decreases with increase in altitude. This is why the speed of sound (which has a direct relation with temperature) decreases with altitude. The pressure of air is nothing but the weight of air column over a given surface.

Troposphere The temperature of the troposphere generally decreases as altitude increases. The rate at which the temperature decreases, − /, is called the environmental lapse rate (ELR). The ELR is nothing more than the difference in temperature between the surface and the tropopause divided by the height.

- The troposphere is the layer where most of the world's weather takes place. Since temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, warm air near the surface of the Earth can readily rise, being less dense than the colder air above it. In fact air molecules can travel to the top of the troposphere and back down again in a just a few days. Such vertical movement or convection of air generates clouds and ultimately rain from the moisture within the air, and gives rise to much of the weather which we experience.

High School Earth Science/Atmospheric Layers The temperature of the troposphere is highest near the surface of the Earth and declines with altitude. On average, the temperature gradient of the troposphere is 6.5°C per 1,000 m (3.6°F per 1,000 feet) of altitude. Notice that in the troposphere, warm air is beneath cold air.

- Almost all of our weather is created within the troposphere. The stratosphere is just above the troposphere, starting at an average altitude of about 7 miles above sea level. The air here is more dry and less dense. Only the highest clouds can be found in this layer. Aircraft often fly in the lower stratosphere to escape the turbulence present in the troposphere. Near the top of the stratosphere lies the ozone layer. The mesosphere lies just above the stratosphere, ranging from about 30 to 50 miles above sea level. This layer contains chemicals which absorb energy from the sun.

(b). The Layered Atmosphere In the first 9 kilometers of the stratosphere, temperature remains constant with height. A zone with constant temperature in the atmosphere is called an isothermal layer. From an altitude of 20 to 50 kilometers, temperature increases with an increase in altitude. The higher temperatures found in this region of the stratosphere occurs because of a localized concentration of ozone gas molecules.

- Within this layer, temperature increases as altitude increases (see temperature inversion) ; the top of the stratosphere has a temperature of about 270 K (−3 °C or 26.6 °F), just slightly below the freezing point of water.he stratosphere is layered in temperature because ozone (O 3) here absorbs high energy ultraviolet (UVB and UVC) radiation from the Sun and is broken down into the allotropes of atomic oxygen (O 1) and common molecular oxygen (O 2).

Solar Energy in Earth's Atmosphere Jet airliners fly in this layer, for it is far less turbulent than the underlying troposphere. The stratosphere extends upward from the top of the troposphere to an altitude of about 50 km. The ozone layer lies within the stratosphere. Moving upward, the next layer is the mesosphere. By this point the atmosphere is very thin. Temperatures once again decline with increasing altitude (as was the case in the troposphere), falling as low as -100° C (-146° F) in the upper mesosphere.

- So the temperature of the air near the earth's surface is greater and the value decreases with increase in altitude. This is why the speed of sound (which has a direct relation with temperature) decreases with altitude. About pressure variation with altitude:-The pressure of air is nothing but the weight of air column over a given surface.

Air Pressure, Temperature, and Density at Altitude When you get higher up into the atmosphere, the air pressure would decrease. The lower you get, the higher the pressure would be, seeing as you are deeper into the earth, and there is more room for the pressure to press down on you. The temperature also changes with the altitude; the higher you go, the colder the air becomes inside the troposphere.

Layers of Earth's Atmosphere From the Earth s surface through the bottom layer of atmosphere, called the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude. Weather occurs in this layer. It s also the layer we live in. The next layer up is called the stratosphere. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude. This is because of ozone. When the ozone in this layer absorbs UV light from the sun, it increases in temperature. In the mesosphere, ozone concentration decreases.

What is the relationship between temperature and altitude? Note the polar regions for example-during winter there is a semi-permanent temperature inversion (increase of temperature with altitude). 2 things which counter the tendency for inversion are solar heating and vertical air motion.hus vertical air motions act to heat the lower atmosphere and cool the higher. The combined effect of those, as a few people mentioned, is that temperature on the average decreases with altitude in the troposphere-at a rate of 6.5 °C per km (3.6 °F per 1000 ft.). Yet the lapse rate varies depending on conditions.

- Figure 2: Troposphere and Stratosphere. Pressure, temperature, density, viscosity and speed of sound variation for the international standard atmosphere (ISA) can be calculated for a range of altitudes from sea level upward. This is done using an exact solution to the hydrostatic equation for a column of air. The air is assumed to be a perfect gas.
