1. How is Earth's atmosphere like an ocean? How is it unlike an ocean?
2. Why do you think planes don't fly high in the stratosphere?

Answer :

Answer 1: : how is earth's atmosphere like and unlike an ocean? Some similarities: they both contain water: ocean in a liquid form and atmosphere as water vapor and oxygen, although oceans have relatively little oxygen (but enough for the fish to catch).

Answer 2 :That trend of rising temperatures with altitude means that air in the stratosphere lacks the turbulence and updrafts of the troposphere beneath. Commercial passenger jets mostly fly in the lower stratosphere, partly because this less-turbulent layer provides a smoother ride.

Answer:

1. The atmosphere on Earth is fairly transparent to incoming sunlight. This means the sun heats the earth's surface without really heating the atmosphere itself. ... Since the ocean makes up most of that surface, the ocean plays the major role in heat transfer around the planet

2. Commercial jet aircraft fly in the lower stratosphere to avoid the turbulence the turbulence is caused by the dry air.
