FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27 Describe any problems that you have had finding the information for your weather chart.

EXOSPHERE  Phone calls and television pictures –communication satellites that orbit Earth in the Exosphere.

 What is insolation? The solar energy that reaches a planet.

Is all of Earth warmed at the same amount? EXPLAIN: NO, Earth is shaped like a sphere or a ball. The angle of sunlight.

 Does sunlight always have the same amount of heat energy? Yes

 4. How does the different angle of the sunlight affect the amount of energy Earth receives.  The more focused the beam of sunlight is the hotter it is and since Earth is shaped like a sphere the beam of light hits Earth at different angles.

 5. List the layers of the atmosphere. Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Ionosphere Exosphere

 Weather is the condition of the troposphere at a particular time and place.

 Weather is the general condition of the troposphere at a spefcic place and time.

 Troposphere Precipitation happens here Air plane fly here clouds

STRATOSPHERE  Ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation.

MESOSPHERE  Most meteoroids burn up in the mesosphere.

THEREMOSPHERE  Extends from 80km to space

IONOSPHERE  Reflects radio waves back to Earth.  Aurora borealis occurs here

 8. What is air pressure? The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it.

 9. In what units is air pressured measured? Kilograms per square centimeters or pounds per square inch.

 10. How much of the Suns' energy is absorbed or reflected by Earth’s surface? Absorbed 50%  Reflected—5%
