Why is the mesosphere colder than the thermosphere, even though it's closer to earth?

Geography
1 answer:
kykrilka [37]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Mesosphere lies in between 50 to 80 km above the earth surface and due to low density gases escape easily and hence it is colder.

Explanation:

Mesosphere has the capacity to not absorb the infrared radiation that's why the gases reflected from the earth surface escape the layer of mesopause and goes inside the thermosphere.

In the thermosphere, even the minute atoms of gases ca be absorbed by the layer which increases the air temperature and the air rises up hence making thermosphere as the hottest layer in the atmosphere.

1) Explain the difference between "relative time" and "numerical time." Which time scale is more
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Numerical time is absolute while relative is compared.

Explanation:

Numerical time is essentially the age of an object. Numerical time is also called absolute time because the age is given as a number that expresses (usually) how many years old it is.

Relative time, rather than give an age, places a rock or rock layer in a category based on how it fits into Earth's evolutionary history as a planet and the fossil record.
