1.
the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
2.
the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
3.
water in a vaporous form especially when below boiling temperature and diffused
4.
how much space an object or substance takes up (its volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass)
5.
the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth
6.
an instrument measuring atmospheric pressure, used especially in forecasting the weather and determining altitude.
7.
an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure in a certain location and has a vertical glass tube closed at the top sitting in an open mercury-filled basin at the bottom.
8.
an instrument used for measuring air pressure as a method that does not involve liquid
9.
the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level.
10.
the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere
11.
layer of Earth's atmosphere lying between the troposphere and the mesosphere.
12.
region of the upper atmosphere between about 50 and 80 km (30 and 50 miles) above the surface of the Earth
13.
a layer of Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere.
14.
the outermost layer of our atmosphere
15.
the part of the earth's atmosphere in which ionization of atmospheric gases affects the propagation of radio waves
16.
waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field.
17.
the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles which cause ionization.
18.
a region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range from about 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm)
19.
radiation Invisible rays that are part of the energy that comes from the sun
20.
When white light from sun enters the earth's atmosphere, the light gets scattered i.e., the light spreads in all directions by the dust particles, free water molecules and the molecules of the gases present in the atmosphere
21.
the process through which heat is trapped near Earth's surface by substances known as 'greenhouse gases.
22.
the measure of hotness or coldness expressed in terms of any of several scales, including Fahrenheit and Celsius.
23.
the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
24.
an instrument that measures temperature
25.
the form of energy that is transferred between two substances at different temperatures
26.
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.
27.
the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules
28.
heat-driven cycles that occur in the air, ocean, and mantle
29.
the natural flow of air that is created when changes in temperature causes air to move from high to low pressure areas
30.
an instrument that measures wind speed and wind pressure.
31.
a term used to describe what the air temperature feels like to the human skin due to the combination of cold temperatures and winds blowing on exposed skin
32.
air that flows over a smaller area of the Earth due to differences in air pressure
33.
a local wind system characterized by a flow from sea to land during the day
34.
a breeze blowing toward the sea from the land, especially at night, owing to the relative warmth of the sea.
35.
winds that occur in belts that go all around the planet
36.
Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere
37.
measures the distance north or south of the equator
