Gets warmer- atoms moving faster Gets colder as you get higher Avg. temp at ground is 15°C Gets warmer as you get higher Temps get colder as you get higher
Troposphere • We live in the troposphere. • All weather and water vapor are in this layer. • Gets colder as you go up. • 0-18 km “The Troublesphere”
Stratosphere • Temperatures get warmer as you go up. • Home of the Ozone layer.
Composition of the Atmosphere: All other gasses: CO2, Ar, Methane etc
