False
OUTER MOST LAYER that might still contain some atmosphere of earth, but only the lightest gases, such as hydrogen and helium, can be found here.
Exosphere
COLD air is LESS dense than hot air
False
This layer gets colder with altitude and is the coldest layer.
Mesosphere
layer is the THICKEST layer in terms of distance, warms up with altitude and where the space shuttle orbits.
Thermosphere
This layer has 80% of the air in the atmosphere, is the most dense layer and contains clouds
Troposhere
Respiration or breathing is taking IN oxygen and breathing OUT carbon dioxide.
True
Hot air has LESS kinetic energy than cold air
false
This layer contains the ozone layer and gets warmer with altitude. This layer stops 100% of UVC, 95% UVB and 5% of UVA.
