Why aren't clouds found in the upper layers of the atmosphere?
Because UV rays from the sun destroy them
Because gravity holds the water molecules closer to earth in the troposphere
Because as meteors enter the mesosphere, they burn through the clouds
Because it is too cold
What drives the movement of air on earth?

Why do you feel humidity more in the summer than in the winter?
Because you are outside more
Because there are less clouds
Because warm air holds more moisture than cool air
Because the effects of gravity are more in the summer
Why does water boil at a lower temperature as you go higher in altitude?
Atmospheric pressure is lower, so it it takes less energy for water to reach its boiling point.
Atmospheric pressure is higher, so it takes more energy for water to reach its boiling point.
Temperature is lower in higher altitudes, so water reaches its boiling point faster.
Temperature increases as you increase in the troposphere, so water reaches its boiling point faster.
