80% of the atmosphere's mass is near __________ with 99% being below 20 miles (32 km).
__________ humidity is the amount of moisture that the air is holding at a specific temperature, and it is always a percentage.
__________ is what protects us from the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.
__________ humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared with the maximum amount of water vapor that the air can contain at that temperature.
The __________ is constantly moving and changing resulting in different weather over different locations.
When the amount of evaporation equals the amount of condensation, the air is considered __________.
Higher elevations allow evaporation at a faster rate than lower elevations because of the decreased __________ at higher altitudes.
The evaporation is greater when the __________ is greater, so water will evaporate faster on a plain surface than in a cup.
The amount of water vapor, by mass, in each cubic unit of air is referred to as __________ humidity.
__________ is the vaporization of water changing from a liquid to a gas at any temperature, and it is the primary means through which water vapor enters the atmosphere.
The __________ Layer is found between 12-20 miles (20-30 km).
As the __________ increases, the rate of evaporation increases, therefore more water can enter the atmosphere.
Only a certain amount of water can enter the atmosphere at a particular temperature, and if the atmosphere is already __________ with water, evaporation will proceed slowly.
The __________ layer is made up of regular oxygen, O2, combined with an extra atom of oxygen making O3 and is found in the stratosphere 15-50 km (9-31 mi) above the Earth's surface, absorbing the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun protecting us.
Carbon dioxide is necessary for plants to use when they convert solar energy into food, stored as glucose, and this process is called __________.
__________ is the study of the atmospheric conditions.
__________ is the average condition over a year or a particular season in a particular area.
The __________ is the thickest layer of the atmosphere, is located between the mesosphere and the exosphere, and the top (which is the exosphere) is approximately 500 km from Earth's surface.
The fourth main layer is the __________, which is the lower part of the thermosphere, contains less than 1% of the total mass of the atmosphere, and contains mostly oxygen ions that are formed when the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun takes away electrons from the oxygen atoms producing ionospheric plasma.
The __________ separates the mesosphere from the thermosphere and is the coldest layer on the Earth with temperatures below -100°C.
