How does this stop Buhari from travelling like a German tourist?
this is most stupid and dumb comment of the week. Someone just took his time educate us on something very pivotal to your existence on earth rather than asking intelligent questions or be objective with your comment all you could come out with is this rubbish. Hello there, you are not programmed comment on every thread if you have nothing to contribute please don't comment. Knowledge is power, I implore you to get yourself enlightened to fill seemingly vacuum in your mind

Am a physicist(Geophysics/Meteorologist), I put up this writing to educate my fellow nairalanders, I hope u enjoy it.
feel free to ask your questions after reading, and ignore any typographical error
Let's get started



10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERE



5: THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE COOLER IT BECOMES? TRUE OR FALSE?
It is true in the layer of the atmosphere where we live. The earth’s atmosphere is divided into five layers: TROPOSHERE, STRATOSPHERE, MESOSPHERE, THERMOSPHERE and EXOSPHERE. The statement is true only in TROPOSHERE (0-15KM above sea level) and in MESOSPHERE. A process called LAPSE RATE (the decrease in temperature with height). Outside these two layers, inversion occurs (the higher you go, the hotter it becomes)
[/b]

This is not true bro, this condition changes with day and night, such that the condition changes adiabatically.

At night, even from 6 pm, the ground is cooler and it gets hotter as you go higher, this is because the ground begins to release the absorbed heat energy from the sun, but in the afternoons, it gets colder as you go higher, this is because the sun heats the earth surface, and radiation occurs. So the further from the surface, the cooler.

The same reason you don't open the windows in a plane. Pressure up there is very low for our body system. Like he rightly said, we have fewer air molecules compared to the elevation up there.

Atmossphere is divided into 5, which one the plane will fly beyond?
all our air transportation is within the troposphere, it does not go beyond this layer of the atmosphere.
Re: 10 Things About The Atmosphere That You Don't Know by BobNeli(m): 4:02pm On Nov 27, 2015
Njoku Chukwudi, these explanations follows that, from datu level to the highest hights we see air planes fly, is not not above 15km?

Fantastic write-up OP. Number 3 however is a bit off. Green house gasses are called that because of the green house effect, a phenomenon known to occur in green houses.Green houses are built to shelter vegetables in growing season.They are designed in such a way as to let light in for photosynthesis of the vegetables, the problem with green houses is that, when sunlight enters, it brings heat energy which reflects off the floor. In reflecting, the sunlight loses energy and cannot re-penertrate the transparent roof of the green house, becoming trapped along with the heat energy. This raises the temperatures within the green house to fatal levels for the vegetables, killing them. This is the same principle global warming works on.

sir, at such high elevation, the building may not withstand pressure and force from the wind, it's just same reason while plane windows are always closed. the motion of wind is complicated and it can cause the building to loose balance. just in a language that everyone can understand, hope it helps.

I can't help but laugh. sir the process you are talking about is what we call land and sea breeze. it's secondary school topics. Anyway, in the stratosphere, they exist the ozone layer, this layer absorbs light rays from the sun, when this happens, the molecules of this layer heats up and it is the reason why temperature increases with height. this process is called INVERSION I.e temperature inversion. oga, we have gone very far.

Sorry man, no need, best you should do is enquire, I even wonder why you're laughing. Because you bagged a BSc?
So you mean inversion doesn't happen? What do you know about stable and unstable atmosphere? AQI? Lapse rate?
Anyways, you tried, but sometimes you need to take corrections.
Go read up again and tell me temperature inversion never occurs.

I here you sir, from your words it shows you understand it. the gases I mentioned there are all green house gases. this gases follow your explanation. thanks anyway

oga let's not argue. but the truth remains that in stratosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, temperatures increase with height. you may be a meteorologist, but it's the truth. am not laughing at your post, its my of life. thanks

6: DOES PLANEs FLY BEYONG THE TROPOSHERE
Negative, our planes does not fly beyond this layer of the atmosphere, perhaps because it cannot withstand the pressure of the nearest layer of the atmosphere. .[/b]
you said , and its generally known that pressure drops with Height , what do you mean by " Planes do not fly above the Troposphere because they can't withstand pressure at that height, what do you mean? Or are you referring to negative pressure?

Well, we've gone back and forth all for knowledge, and its good. I did my MSc thesis on Air quality management.
You did great bro, keep it up.
