Even though the temperature is so high in the troposphere, one would not feel warm since this layer is near a vacuum. True or False?
True
False, the correct layer is thermosphere.
False, the correct layer is stratosphere.
False, a vacuum would not be an explanation for this happening.

A weather balloon can travel as high as the _________________.
Exosphere
Thermosphere
Mesosphere
Stratosphere
Troposphere
This layer is warmer than the troposphere because of the energy from the ultraviolet light absorbed by the ozone. As a result, this layers gets warmer as you move further away from Earth.

In which layer do weather occur, planes fly, and humans live and breathe?
Exosphere
Thermosphere
Mesosphere
Stratosphere
Troposphere
Why is it that Earth's surface isn't pocked with meteor craters, like the Moon's surface? (Pocked means to have holes)
Because meteors generally burn up in the exosphere before it can reach Earth's surface.
Because meteors generally burn up in the thermosphere before it can reach Earth's surface.
Because meteors generally burn up in the mesosphere before it can reach Earth's surface.
Because meteors generally burn up in the stratosphere before it can reach Earth's surface.
Because meteors generally burn up in the troposphere before it can reach Earth's surface.
