Question

give reason to the following:
(a)Temperature of the atmosphere decreases with incresing height.
(b)Slanting rays produces less heat .
or
Isolation is in the form short waves
(c)Jet planes prefer to fly in stratosphere.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) temperature of the atmosphere decreases with increasing height

Answer 2

Explanation:

1.In the troposphere, the temperature generally decreases with altitude. The reason is that the troposphere's gases absorb very little of the incoming solar radiation. Instead, the ground absorbs this radiation and then heats the tropospheric air by conduction and convection.

2.Vertical rays of sunlight are moreeffective in producing light and heat than are slanting rays. ... The greater efficiency of the sun's rays is one reason summer is warmer than winter. A second reason is that the days are longer. While the sun is shining, the land and air heat up.

3.Commercial jet aircraft fly in the lower stratosphere to avoid the turbulence which is common in the troposphere below. The stratosphere is very dry; air there contains little water vapor. Because of this, few clouds are found in this layer; almost all clouds occur in the lower, more humid troposphere.
