a device used to measure atmospheric pressure with a column of mercury
9.
device for measuring atmospheric pressure
10.
the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level.
11.
the lowest region of the atmosphere, extending from the earth's surface to a height of about 3.7–6.2 miles (6–10 km), which is the lower boundary of the stratosphere.
12.
the layer of the earth's atmosphere above the troposphere, extending to about 32 miles (50 km) above the earth's surface (the lower boundary of the mesosphere).
13.
the region of the earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, between about 30 and 50 miles (50 and 80 km) in altitude.
14.
the region of the atmosphere above the mesosphere and below the height at which the atmosphere ceases to have the properties of a continuous medium. The thermosphere is characterized throughout by an increase in temperature with height.
15.
the outermost region of a planet's atmosphere.
16.
the layer of the earth's atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and is able to reflect radio waves. It lies above the mesosphere and extends from about 50 to 600 miles (80 to 1,000 km) above the earth's surface.
17.
waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field
18.
the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles which cause ionization.
19.
portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that extends from the long wavelength,
20.
a form of non-ionizing radiation that is emitted by the sun and artificial sources
21.
process in which electromagnetic radiation or particles are deflected or diffused
22.
the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere, due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface
23.
the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch
24.
the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
25.
an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature, typically one consisting of a narrow, hermetically sealed glass tube marked with graduations and having at one end a bulb containing mercury or alcohol that expands and contracts in the tube with hea
26.
the quality of being hot; high temperature.
27.
the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
28.
the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
29.
the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
30.
the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.
31.
an instrument for measuring the speed of the wind, or of any current of gas.
32.
factor, the air temperature feels like to the human skin due to the combination of cold temperatures
33.
winds, air that flows over a smaller area of the Earth due to differences in air pressure
34.
a breeze blowing toward the land from the sea, especially during the day owing to the relative warmth of the land.
35.
a local wind system characterized by a flow from land to water late at night
36.
winds that occur in belts that go all around the planet
37.
an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in th

the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of a celestial object north or south of the celestial equator, usually expressed in degrees and minutes
