SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -“Tropos” means change. This layer gets its name from the weather that is constantly changing and mixing up the gases in this part of our atmosphere. The troposphere is between 5 and 9 miles (8 and 14 kilometers) thick depending on where you are on Earth. It’s thinnest at the North and South Pole.

Detailed explanation-2: -What does tropo-mean? Tropo-is a combining form used like a prefix variously meaning “turn, ‘’ “reaction, response, ‘’ or “change.” The form is used in many scientific terms, including in biochemistry, ecology, and meteorology, where tropo-specifically represents the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term troposphere derives from the Greek words tropos (rotating) and sphaira (sphere) indicating that rotational turbulence mixes the layers of air and so determines the structure and the phenomena of the troposphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere. Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere. Most types of clouds are found in the troposphere, and almost all weather occurs within this layer.

Detailed explanation-5: -The troposphere starts at the Earth’s surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region. The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high.

Detailed explanation-6: -The troposphere provides oxygen that we can breathe, keeps Earth at a livable temperature, and allows for weather to occur, making it a very important part of the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-7: -The troposphere contains 75% of the atmosphere’s total mass. In either space or time the troposphere is not constant. Weather occurs in the troposphere. The troposphere is 10 miles from the equator. The troposphere is 5-7 miles above the poles. Does not contain ozone. More items
