Answer 3

Density is the number of thingswhich could be people, animals, plants, or objects in a certain area

Question 4

Troposphere

Answer 4

The troposphere is the first and lowest layer of the atmosphere of the Earth, and contains 75% of the total mass of the planetary atmosphere, 99% of the total mass of water vapor and aerosols, and is where most weather phenomena occur.

Question 5

Stratosphere

Answer 5

The stratosphere is a layer of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward. The troposphere, the lowest layer, is right below the stratosphere. The next higher layer above the stratosphere is the mesosphere.

Question 6

Mesosphere

Answer 6

The mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere, directly above the stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases.

Question 7

Thermosphere

Answer 7

The thermosphere is a layer of Earth’s atmosphere that is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It extends from about 90 km (56 miles) to between 500 and 1,000 km (311 to 621 miles) above our planet.

Question 8

Exosphere

Answer 8

The exosphere is a thin, atmosphere-like volume surrounding a planet or natural satellite where molecules are gravitationally bound to that body, but where the density is so low that the molecules are essentially collisionless.

Question 9

Temperature

Answer 9

Degree of hotness or coldness measured on a definite scale.

Question 10

Nitrogen

Answer 10

Question 12

Oxygen

Answer 12

a chemical element found in the air as a colorless odorless tasteless gas that is necessary for life.

Question 13

air pressure

Answer 13

That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth. Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer
