Q1. What are the five layers of the atmosphere? Estimate the height of each layer. Q2. In which layer is temperature increasing with increasing altitude? Q3. In which layer is temperature decreasing with increasing altitude? Q4. What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the troposphere? stratosphere? mesosphere? thermosphere? exosphere? Q5. Analyze the graph. What is the basis for the division of Earth's atmosphere? Q6. Based on the graph, can you generalize that the higher the layer atmosphere (that is closer to the Sun), the hotter the temperature? Why or why of the not?

Answer:
Q1. Five layers
×Troposphere
×Stratosphere
×Mesosphere
×Thermosphere
×Exosphere
Q2. Temperature increasing with increasing altitude
×Stratosphere
Q3.
×Troposphere
Q4.
×In the troposphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases.
× In the Exosphere, Temperatures increase again with altitude in the thermosphere
× In the Mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases
×In the stratosphere, temperature generally increases as altitude increases
× In the thermosphere, temperature increases at altitude increases
Answer:
ATMOSPHERE
The lower boundary of the exosphere is called the exobase. It is also called the 'critical altitude' as this is the altitude where barometric conditions no longer apply. Atmospheric temperature becomes nearly a constant above this altitude.In thermosphere Temperatures climb sharply in the lower thermosphere (below 200 to 300 km altitude), then level off and hold fairly steady with increasing altitude above that height. Solar activity strongly influences temperature in the thermosphere.
