Answer 4

The main characteristics that scientists use to divide Earth's atmosphere into layers are based on changes in temperature with altitude. These temperature changes are primarily determined by the absorption of solar energy by the atmosphere and the presence of different gases. The layers of the atmosphere, starting from the surface of the Earth and moving upwards, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The boundaries between these layers are defined by specific temperature changes known as temperature inversions or pauses. Additionally, other factors such as air pressure, composition of gases, and presence of ozone also contribute to the division of the atmosphere into layers.

Answer 5

The main characteristics that scientists use to divide Earth's atmosphere into layers are temperature and composition.
