Why would an unprotected traveler's blood boil in the mesosphere?
eduard
An unprotected traveler's blood would boil at normal body temperatures because the pressure is so low. Temperatures in the mesophere decreases with altitude, because there are few gas molecules in the mesophere to absorb the sun's radiation, the heat source is the stratosphere below. The air in the mesophere has extremely low density and as a result the air pressure is very low.
