What causes the temperaturevariations in our atmosphere?
Starting from sea level increasing in altitude. The troposphere decreases with temperature, the statosphere increases with temperature, the mesosphere decreases with temperature, the thermosphere increases with temperature and then finally the exosphere decreases with temperature. Of each of the five layers, what causes the variance in temperature in increase of height? The weather cannot be the answer, becuase the weather is involved in the troposphere, this why you rarely see clouds at 39,000ft on your flight, the temperature at this altitude is constant in all parts of the world. Aircraft at these altitudes are above the weather, this is why you never fly through rain at these types of cruising altitudes.
It depends on where the heat source is for that particular layer. The troposphere is heated from below, mainly by the earth's surface. Convective processes occur here, and adiabatic expansion of rising air (and air that has already risen) causes temperature to decrease with height. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T roposphere The stratosphere is heated from above (absorbtion of ultraviolet radiation in the ozone layer). Convection processes can't occur here; the lower stratosphere is warmed via the conduction of the heat from above. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S tratosphere The mesosphere is heated from below (the ozone layer again). Convective processes probably occur here like they do in the troposphere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M esosphere The thermosphere is heated from above, as the small amount of residual oxygen absorbs highly energetic solar radiation. Conduction would be the primary heat transport mechanism here, similar to what happens in the stratosphere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T hermosphere The exosphere is likely heated from below (the residual oxygen absorbing solar radiation again). Again, similar processes probably happen here like they do in the troposphere and mesosphere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E xosphere
What temperature to keepJacuzzi during winter when notin use?
I am leaving for a vacation and do not know what temperature to leave my Jacuzzi in while gone. It's in Tahoe (Nevada) where it's cold anyway and I do not want to waste too much energy nor to have it freezing when I come back. I do not know what temperature to leave it in. I am not sure how long the vacation will be. Maybe about two weeks or a month, something like that.
I would turn it off entirely. There is no way it will freeze at this time of year. I'd bet it will still be above 50 degrees when you return a month from now. The temperature in the daytime in Tahoe averages above 50 degrees this time of year. It doesn't get cold enough at night to freeze an insulated body of water such as your hot tub. Bon voyage.

What is an easy to understand and easy way to remember the defintion of temperature? I am supposed to do a science fair project report on temperature and states of matter but I don't know where to start.

Name: Innnocent

what is the freezing and boiling point? and how do you measure the temperature in farenheit and celcious?

Name: innocent

need to know if the temperature is 20 degrees celcuis what does it imply hot or cold, what is the maximum temperature to be expected?
