The day was devoted to games of agility and strength, and other amusements; and grog was temperately distributed, together with bread, butter, and cheese. The first night the sailors of a British ship, being happy with grog, came down on the pier and challenged our sailors to a free fight.
The Troposphere. This is the lowest part of the atmosphere-the part we live in. It contains most of our weather-clouds, rain, snow. In this part of the atmosphere the temperature gets colder as the distance above the earth increases, by about 6.5Â°C per kilometre.This change of temperature with height varies from day to day, depending on the weather.he atmosphere can be divided into layers based on its temperature, as shown in the figure below. These layers are the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere. A further region, beginning about 500 km above the earth's surface, is called the exosphere.
The Troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere starts at Earth's surface and goes up to a height of 7 to 20 km (4 to 12 miles, or 23,000 to 65,000 feet) above sea level.Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere. Almost all weather occurs within this layer.ir pressure and the density of the air are also less at high altitudes. The layer above the troposphere is called the stratosphere. Nearly all of the water vapor and dust particles in the atmosphere are in the troposphere. That is why most clouds are found in this lowest layer, too.
