3 Questions
Die Atmosphäre der Erde erstreckt sich bis zu ___________ km, wenn man die Exosphäre einschließt, ansonsten bis zu 100-500 km. (10.000)
Die Exosphäre hat sehr dünne Luft, was es geostationären Satelliten ermöglicht, für viele Jahre in der ___________ zu bleiben. (Umlaufbahn)
Der barometrische Höhenformel kann den Luftdruck in einer bestimmten Höhe ___________. (schätzen/berechnen)
Study Notes
- The Earth's atmosphere extends up to 10,000 km if including the exosphere, otherwise up to 100-500 km
- The exosphere has very thin air, allowing geostationary satellites to stay in orbit for many years
- The atmosphere is divided into various layers, including the troposphere and stratosphere
- The barometric height formula can estimate air pressure at a certain height
- The formula is p = p0 ·e- h/h0
- Examples of air pressure calculations include 2,000 m (789 mbar), 4,000 m (615 mbar), 5,500 m (506 mbar), and 11 km (256 mbar)
- Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude
- Air pressure at 5.5 km is half that of sea level
- Air pressure at 11 km is only a quarter of that at sea level
- The atmosphere is an important factor for aviation and mountaineering.
Test your knowledge about the Earth's atmosphere with this quiz! Learn about the layers of the atmosphere, the barometric height formula, and how air pressure changes with increasing altitude. Discover why the atmosphere is crucial for aviation and mountaineering. Challenge yourself with examples of air pressure calculations at different heights and understand how the exosphere enables satellites to stay in orbit for years. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge about our planet's atmosphere!
