Would sunlight have to go through the same thickness of atmosphere to reach the equator as it would to reach the poles?

Answer:
latitude
Explanation:
Because of increasing amounts of atmosphere that the solar radiation must pass through in order to reach the Earth's surface, we can see from the graphic below that while the number of atmospheres is one (1.00) over the Equator and increases gradually and only slightly as you move toward the poles, there is a sharp and ...

Answer:
Temperature. We will also consider the measurement and transfer of heat -- giving special attention to conduction, convection and radiation as these processes relate to the atmosphere.

Atmospheric Gases. While we will touch upon the major gases comprising the atmosphere, we will devote most of our attention to the most important gas related to weather -- that being water vapor -- the gaseous state of water.

The Layered Atmosphere. Finally, we will take a look at the various atmospheric layers. While there are in fact four atmospheric layers based on temperature, our interest will rest primarily with the first layer, the troposphere. The troposphere, which extends upward from the Earth's surface an average of maybe 5-10 miles, is where most of our weather takes place. While we think of weather as being all-encompassing, it is actually relatively shallow. Think about the last time you took a trip by air. You most likely flew at about 30,000 to 35,000 feet.
