What does the ionosphere protect us from?
uv light
Why is the atmospheric pressure on moon is zero?
The atmospheric pressure on the moon is essentially zero because the moon does not have a significant atmosphere. Unlike Earth, which has a dense atmosphere that exerts pressure due to the weight of the air above us, the moon lacks this gaseous envelope and thus has almost no atmospheric pressure.
Are remote sensing satellites restricted by the us gov?
Yes, remote sensing satellites operated by U.S. entities are regulated by the U.S. government through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). These regulations control the resolution and dissemination of images to protect national security and privacy concerns.
Why is there more air pressure in the first layer of atmosphere?
The atmosphere consists of 5 layers: the troposphere, which we live in; followed by stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. Air pressure at any of these layers is typically caused by hydrostatic pressure, defined as P = hpg, where P is the pressure, h is the height or depth of fluid, and g is the gravitational acceleration. In simple context, my physics lecturer once explained to me: the reason why we live under an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar is simply because there is a column of air above us. As we move upwards (e.g. in an airplane or on top of a mountain), the height of this column is reduced, thus the atmospheric pressure is less. Therefore, the first layer of atmosphere (or the lowest layer) will experience the highest air pressure.
Does the atmosphere exert pressure on us?
Yes, the atmosphere exerts pressure on us due to the weight of the air above us. This pressure is known as atmospheric pressure and can be felt as we move higher or lower in elevation.
Why are the layers of earth important?
Different layers of atmosphere protect us. They do it by blocking the unwanted radiations of the sun.
Which two layers protect us in the atmosphere?
Ozone layer and mesosphere. They protects us from various obstacles.
How do the layers of the earth work?
The various layers of atmosphere protect us. They protect us from the UV rays, Control the temperature etc.
Which two layers protect us out of the atmosphere?
Ozone layer protects us from UV rays. The outermost layer from meteors.
How do the layers of the earth work together?
The various layers of atmosphere protect us. They protect us from the UV rays, Control the temperature etc.
Why does the mesosphere not protect us from the suns layers?
Mesosphere does not protect us. It is because it does not contain an ozone layer.
What are two ways the skin helps protect us from disease?
The different layers of skin literally block bacteria like a forefield
How do a nuclear reactor's layers protect us from radiation?
Do not understand use of the word 'layer'
What layers of the atmosphere protect us UV rays?
The Ozone layer in the upper Stratosphere.
Where does the ozone layers exsists and what does it protect us?
Ozone exists in the stratosphere. It protects us from the UV rays of the sun.
In what layer is ozone most helpful to us?
Any of the atmospheric layers is good. Just don't want it where anything / anyone has to breathe it.
What are the atmospheric layers?
The atmospheric layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has distinct characteristics, such as temperature variations and composition, and plays a specific role in regulating Earth's climate and protecting life on the planet.
