Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.118SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason behind large fraction of total mass of air atmosphere should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The atmosphere around our planet is not uniform throughout and has been stratified in different layers. There are four major stratifications of air-based upon variation in altitude and temperature namely Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere.
