- In cold weather, you can sometimes "see" your breath. What you are seeing is a mist of small water droplets, the same as in clouds and fog. Suppose air leaves your mouth with temperature 35°C and humidity 0.035 kg/m3 and mixes with an equal amount of air at 5°C. and humidity 0.005 kg/m3 What is the relative humidity of the mixed air if its temperature and humidity equal the averages of those of the two original air masses? Represent what happens by plotting three points in a graph like Figure 5.34.arrow_forward(a) Where can lightning take place? (Where can it begin and end?) (b) Describe what is meant by heat lightning and a bolt from the blue.arrow_forwardAs air rises in the atmosphere, its temperature drops, even if no heat flows out of it. (a) Based on what you learned in Sections 4.4 and 5.3, explain why this is so. (b) Cumulus clouds form when rising air is cooled to the point where water droplets form because of condensation. Why are these clouds usually much higher above the ground in dry climates than in wet ones?arrow_forward
- What energy sources on Earth cannot be thought of as stored sunlight?arrow_forwardOn average, would Earth be warmer or cooler without the atmosphere? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardBalloons were used to obtain much of the early information about the atmosphere and continue to be used today to obtain weather information. In 1782, Jacques Charles used a hydrogen-filled balloon to fly from Paris 25 km into the French countryside. What is the mass density of hydrogen relativeto air at the same temperature and pressure? What mass of payload can be lifted by 10 kg of hydrogen, neglecting the mass of the balloon?arrow_forward
- 1) Explain in detail the usefulness of the atmospheric layers to humansarrow_forwardIn winters, if is often warmer in San Francisco than in nearby Sacramento, 150 km inland. In summers, it is nearly always hotter in Sacramento. Explain how the bodies of water surrounding San Francisco moderate its extreme temperatures.arrow_forward. On a winter day, the air temperature is — 15°C, and the humidity is 0,001 kg/m3. (a) What is the relative humidity? (b) When this air is brought inside a building, it is heated to 20°C. If the humidity isn't changed, what is the relative humidity inside the building?arrow_forward
- Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice team but alga due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate me change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00C. Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.arrow_forwardWhat is a direct effect on humans that increases with atmospheric ozone depletion?arrow_forwardExplain why the Moon and Mercury possess only very weak, transient atmospheres consisting of constituents temporarily captured from the solar wind or released by collisions with interplanetary debris.arrow_forward
