1) Explain in detail the usefulness of the atmospheric layers to humans
When night falls, the temperature of the earth’s surface starts to drop. On a cool night, dew starts to form on the grass as water vapor condenses. Once dew starts to form, the rate of temperature decrease slows. Explain why this change occurs.
The energy usage of urban buildings can be reduced by increasing the albedo of roofing materials to reflect solar energy. What is the reflected solar energy for a painted roof, which has an albedo of 0.15, and a high-albedo roof, which has an albedo of 0.9? Assume the incoming solar energy is 8.4 x 102 W/m2.

- 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?

- On a certain day the temperature is 25.0C and the relative humidity is 90.0%. How many grams of water must condense out of each cubic meter of air if the temperature falls to 15.0C ? Such a drop in temperature can, thus, produce heavy dew or fog.arrow_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.

- As 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_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_forwardGive an example of a physical property that varies with temperature and describe how it is used to measure temperature.arrow_forward
