Guide Questions:
Q1. What are the five layers of the atmosphere? Estimate the height of each layer,
Q2. In which layer is temperature increasing with increasing altitude?
Q3. In which layer is temperature decreasing with increasing altitude?
Q4. What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the troposphere? stratosphere? mesosphere? thermosphere? exosphere?
Q5. Analyze the graph. What is the basis for the division of Earth's atmosphere?
Q6. Based on the graph, can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that is closer to the Sun), the hotter the temperature? Why or why not?

Answer:
Q1.Exosphere: 700 to 10,000 km (440 to 6,200 miles) Thermosphere: 80 to 700 km (50 to 440 miles) Mesosphere: 50 to 80 km (31 to 50 miles) Stratosphere: 12 to 50 km (7 to 31 miles)
Q2.stratosphere and the thermosphere
Q3.troposphere and mesosphere.
Q4.In the troposphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases
