the troposphere extends from the earths surface to height of 6-12 miles, depending on the location and the season. if a plane is flying at an altitude of 5.8 miles, and the troposphere is 8.6 miles deep in that area how much higher can the plane go without leaving the troposphere?

Respuesta :

2.8 miles
You must subtract 8.6 by 5.8 to find it.

Answer:

The plane can go up-to 2.8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Troposphere is the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.

This layer varies from different locations and the season.

A plane is flying at an altitude of 5.8 miles.

The troposphere layer is 8.6 miles deep in that area so remaining altitude up-to which the plane can go will be (8.6 - 5.8) = 2.8 miles.

Therefore, plane can go up by 2.8 miles more.
