Thermosphere temperatures can be very hot in this layer,known as upper atmosphere, temperature increase with altitude- it is the hottest layer, aurora lights occur here, may also be called the ionsphere
Troposphere Layer of the atmosphere nearest to earth, where weather occurs and airplanes fly, temperature drops as altitude increases, where people live, known as the lowest layer of atmosphere
Deposition the process of water vapor changing directly into a gas
Dew point the temperature at which water vapor will start to condense out of the air as liquid water
