Layers of the Atmosphere Foldable

Layers of the Atmosphere Foldable.Background Reading.The atmosphere can be divided into four layers based on temperature variations. The layer closest to the Earth is called the troposphere. Above this layer is the stratosphere, followed by the mesosphere

There Are at Present Two Theories Which Try to Explain the Rapid Growth of Water Droplets

Through the process of condensation, minute water droplets, less than 0.05mm in diameter is produced. If the dew point temperature is below freezing, ice crystals and produced. The droplets are very small and weigh very little and are kept buoyant by
