You can reduce the height and density to meaningless averages, but that wouldn't be accurate and true. Only useful to your narrow focus, on one small aspect of the giant planet. There is evidence which I believe indicates your above statement is basically incorrect. His statement is correct. You are denying science again. Spongy Iris wrote: We have discussed my speculation about the "great biblical flood" in Libya, Egypt, Sudan, when the protective glass barrier around earth appears to have shattered, allowing the actual intensity of sunlight radiation to hit the earth. The color of the 1000 tonnes of glass shards found spread across an oval shape 130 by 50 km is close to the color of the sky where you see the sun sets and rises. There is no physical barrier of glass around Earth. Spongy Iris wrote: Also sky blue is not the same color as electric blue. Reason I say that is us common folk have produced a light bright enough to light up the sky at night as if it was day. It was a transformer explosion in NYC in the 2018 holiday season. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/12/28/transformer-explosion-new-york-citys-night-sky.html That electric blue is different than sky blue. Must be another factor influencing the sky's color when intense light hits the atmosphere further above ground. You obviously never learned about light scattering. Spongy Iris wrote: The color of the sky is pretty consistent all around the world! No, it isn't. It varies with the latitude, the landscape beneath that bit of sky, the amount and type of cloud cover, your altitude, etc. Spongy Iris wrote: Rapid decrease of heat in the atmosphere from 90 to 60 miles is another indication. Heat is not contained in anything. Spongy Iris wrote: What causes such rapid decrease of heat at this altitude? Heat is not contained in anything. Spongy Iris wrote: Bird brain will say it's the magnetic field that deflects the heat. Heat is not deflected. Spongy Iris wrote: Ask yourself, why is the sun so bright, when its heat is pretty mild? See the inverse square law. Spongy Iris wrote: Most people would be temporarily blinded if they stared at the sun for just 5 minutes. But even in Florida, exposing your skin to sunlight for just 5 minutes, even at high noon, probably isn't long enough to give you a bad sunburn. UV light is not heat. Neither is visible light. Spongy Iris wrote: When sunlight passes through glass, it's wavelength becomes less intense. Light is not a single wavelength. Wavelength is not an intensity. Spongy Iris wrote: It gets slowed down. But the amount of visible light seen doesn't change much Light does slow down while it's in glass, but speeds up again when it leaves the glass. There is no glass around Earth. Spongy Iris wrote: My thinking is too much heat would demagnetize earth. Heat is not accumulated. Heat is not contained in anything. Spongy Iris wrote: Inside the barrier There is no barrier. Spongy Iris wrote: could be a refrigeration process that cools earth so it can stay magnetized. There is no refrigerator cooling Earth either.

Clouds make it warmer believe it or not. I live in Florida, and well aware of humidity. It's not warmer, it just 'feels' warmer. The heat index gives a warmer, (5-6 degrees), feels-like temperature, considering the near 100% humidity during the summer. It 'feels' warmer, because sweat doesn't evaporate as quickly, because the air is near your body temperature, and already saturated with water. You sweat, it doesn't evaporate, you don't cool off. The redneck air conditioners don't work very well here. If you left your basement-bunker occasionally, and worked outdoors any, under the Florida sun, you would know the sweet relief, most normal people feel, when clouds pass overhead.

Clouds make it warmer believe it or not. That effect is more observed when it's cold. For example... We've been having freezing nights here because the sky is clear. If it were to cloud over and rain, night temps would probably be around 50 F instead of 35 F. The clear days get to 65 F, but if it were to cloud over and rain probably the day would only get to 60 F. Death Valley gets hotter than Florida in the daytime, cuz less clouds to block the sun. But it's probably a lot colder at night in Death Valley than Florida, cuz less clouds.

The weather I described is just a bit east of San Fran, at the base of Mt Diablo, around elevation 400 ft. It is pretty consistent and any weather person around here would confirm the statement is pretty accurate if you're rounding to the nearest 5. MT Diablo will rarely get snow, but down at our elevation it pretty much never happens. But we have already gotten a few frosts this year. MT Hood is about 7 degrees further N latitude, at a much higher elevation, and further east of ocean. The ocean fog often blankets us, but said fog probably doesn't reach MT Hood. I grew up in the Great Canadian Shield. In the winter it's usually warmer when it snows, than when it's clear skies. Wind speed is another factor to consider; faster wind speed cools it down more.

No, it is known as a base rate fallacy. Spongy Iris wrote: It often gets cold enough to snow, but only when there are no clouds. It never snows though, because when clouds roll in, it gets too warm. I don't know where you live. But it sound like somewhere that the laws of physics don't work. I live in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, on the Wet Side). We rarely get snow at lower elevations because of a prevailing wind that comes from warmer waters. When that wind brings moisture with it, we call it the Pineapple Express (the wind here tends to come from 210 degT, essentially from Hawaii). Occasionally wind comes out of the northern Pacific waters (sometimes called a Fraser wind), and if it's cold enough, can bring lowland snow. Occasionally, we also get a reverse flow (offshore winds) called Chinook winds. This comes from dry regions east of the Cascades, and carries very little moisture. It can be a very cold wind or a very hot wind, depending on the temperatures east of the Cascades. If a Chinook wind is fast enough, it can create a significant mountain wave compression on the lee side, warming the Seattle area, particularly near the mountains (Compressing air makes it warmer). The Pacific Northwest weather is a complex beast, due to all the mountains and the proximity to the nearby Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean. For example, the prevailing winds (usually out of 210degT) can split and go around the Olympic mountains. One side comes through a gap near Shelton, WA. This carries moist warmer air. The other side comes through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and is a bit colder. On the lee side of the Olympics, they meet up again, building what is called the 'Convergence Zone'. The warmer air meeting up with the colder air can cause clouds to form and rain or snow all along that line. It moves a bit north or south as wind direction changes somewhat. It acts like a stationary front. It can be perfectly clear on either side of that line. The Convergence Zone will typically form in a line from Union, WA, Everett, WA, Snohomish, WA, and up into Stevens Pass. I can often widen to include Woodinville, WA. For aircraft, this line of storms is dangerous. They can often contain embedded thunderstorm cells or at least the worst weather in the region.

The weather in the San Francisco area is much like Seattle, but without the Convergence Zone, and more prevalent winds from warmer waters. Mt Diablo is not much of mountain. Around here we call that a hill. One interesting bit about Bay Area weather, is the Bay itself. This is a fairly large body of very shallow water, and is often several degrees warmer than the Pacific Ocean off that coast due to heating from the Sun during the day. Clouds will typically come in from the ocean and cover San Francisco itself, but the warmer water causes them to evaporate again (if it's a weak cloud) and leave Oakland in clear weather while San Francisco is socked in with fog and low clouds. As the air moves further east, clouds will again form as it rises into the foothills (such as Mt Diablo). This pattern is fairly common in the Bay Area and occurs when air is near saturated with moisture and there is no stronger front moving in. I feel sorry for ya bud. Life in the SOTC is no fun.

Sounds like you used to be up near Gresham, OR or out by Sandy? or possibly on the Dry Side like Moupin or Madras? Snow clouds often take on a smooth even color because they are precipitating, even it's just a drizzle or are near to it, are often stratus clouds in that area. Lower temperatures allows them to form lower to the ground, too, so you get a nice close look at them.

This was Fathers Day 2019 at high noon. The fog looks like it made it a bit past Oakland. You can't even see the bay cuz it's covered in fog. But you can see the hill on the other side of the Bay in the distance, maybe around where the San Quentin penitentiary is. By sunset most of that fog probably got heated enough until it dissipated.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	There's this thing, call, 'condensation'. You don't need rain, for water to form on you beer can, or on the ground over night. Grass gets wet, a little, from condensation, but dries up kind of quick after sunrise. In both Lox Angeles and Mexico City, they also get a lot of dust in the air, which is also brownish in color. This can happen anywhere in any desert environment. I've always heard that smog was air pollution, from the over-use of the 'evil' internal combustion engine. So, smog, is really just the dust, and filth, stirred up by the rats?
