The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?

77% Answer Correctly

tides

the northern lights

day and night cycle

seasons


Solution

3

The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

thermosphere


Solution

Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.


4
