Normally, the temperature in the troposphere decreases with height. In an inversion, it increases. There are several reasons that this can happen, but some results include increased pollution in the summer, and particularly cold mornings in the fall and winter when your cell phone may have some trouble with reception.
An atmospheric inversion is a deviation from the normal temperature profile of the atmosphere where warmer air lies above cooler air. This phenomenon can lead to the trapping of pollutants, reducing air quality. It is often associated with calm, stable weather conditions.

What is the primary (most abundant) gas in the Earths atmosphere?
The primary gas in Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, accounting for about 78% of the total atmospheric composition.
What Gases in earths atmosphere exert what on everything?
Pressure
Which is earths densest atmospheric layer?
The troposphere is Earth's densest atmospheric layer, containing approximately 75% of the atmosphere's total mass. It is the layer closest to the Earth's surface, extending up to about 7-17 kilometers in altitude.
Earths early atmosphere was changed dramatically by the evolution of?
photosynthetic organisms, like cyanobacteria, which produced oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. This led to the increase in atmospheric oxygen levels, changing the composition of Earth's early atmosphere.
Where is the center of mass of earths atmosphere?
The center of mass of Earth's atmosphere is located close to Earth's geometric center, but it can be slightly influenced by atmospheric circulation patterns and mass distribution. Overall, it is within the region of Earth's core, beneath the crust and atmosphere.
What is atmospheric chemistry?
it is a branch of atmospheric science which deals with chemistry of the earths atmosphere
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
What is the primary (most abundant) gas in the Earths atmosphere?
The primary gas in Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, accounting for about 78% of the total atmospheric composition.
Where can I find Which layer of the earths atmosphere has most of earths weather?
Outside your window, and with an Internet search for "atmospheric layers". The answer is the "troposphere". That's the lowest layer where most of the air is.
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
What is it called when cool air is trapped under earths surface?
A temperature inversion.
What Gases in earths atmosphere exert what on everything?
