what is the relationship between temperature and solar altitude?
484085
The change in solar altitude throughout the seasons results in hotter temperatures in the summer and cooler temperatures in the winter. Furthermore, because of the tilt of the Earth, the Southern Hemisphere experiences winter and summer at the opposite times of the year than the Northern Hemisphere.

So, usually, as the altitude or elevation increases, the weather gets colder and in fact the climate becomes naturally harsher with more intense weathering such as windier and colder. Furthermore, there is also less air as the altitude or elevation increases.

The Sun's temperature, which reaches around 15 million degrees Celsius in its core, steadily decreases with distance from the core, falling to 6000°C at its 'surface'. ... Instead, it rises to about 10,000°C in the chromosphere, and exceeds a million degrees Celsius in the corona.

Because warm air rises and cool air sinks, the troposphere is unstable. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which protects the planet from the Sun's harmful UV radiation.

The temperature in the exosphere varies greatly and can range from 0 to over 1700 degrees Celsius. It is colder at night and much hotter during the day. The air in the exosphere is very thin, and is made up mostly of helium, and hydrogen. Traces of other gases such as atomic oxygen and carbon dioxide can also be found.

Ocean temperature depends on the amount of solar energy absorbed. ... The temperature of the ocean also varies from top to bottom, giving a vertical structure to most of the ocean. There is an upper layer of water, up to 200m deep, that is warmed by the Sun and has the same temperature from top to bottom.

Heat is produced in the process of the formation of Ozone and this heat is responsible for temperature increases from an average -60°F (-51°C) at tropopause to a maximum of about 5°F (-15°C) at the top of the stratosphere. This increase in temperature with height means warmer air is located above cooler air.

The color temperature of sunlight above the atmosphere is about 5900 K. The Sun may appear red, orange, yellow, or white from Earth, depending on its position in the sky.

The layers of atmosphere are heated through. Solution : Radiation from sun and convection currents, are responsible for heating.

The distance above sea level. How does latitude and altitude affect climate? The altitude affects the climate because the higher the altitude, the cooler and harsher the climate. Also, if the latitude is to 0 degrees, the hotter the temperature and the more humidity in the atmosphere.

The relationship of altitude and temp. is when altitude increases , the temp. decreases and when altitude decreases , the temp.

The thermosphere lies between the exosphere and the mesosphere. “Thermo” means heat, and the temperature in this layer can reach up to 4,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
1441240
The mesosphere is the part of the atmosphere that lies above the stratosphere. In this region, the temperature falls with an increase in altitude. And finally as we continue rising up, we reach the thermosphere, where the temperature increases with increased altitude.

Solar intensity received at the outer edge of atmosphere is directly proportional to the angle of noon sun. As more is the angle of noon's sun more intense would the intensity of solar radiations which is measured in Langley's/day.

Temperature is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the atoms that a body is made of. This relation is valid concerning the velocities relative to the center of mass of the body.

Angle of Solar Radiation and Temperature Therefore, the solar radiation is concentrated over a smaller surface area, causing warmer temperatures. At higher latitudes, the angle of solar radiation is smaller, causing energy to be spread over a larger area of the surface and cooler temperatures.
