Information About

Temperature Gradient




The world temperature gradient is the rate at which temperature changes between the Earth 's Poles and the Equator . In each Hemisphere the temperature gradient from pole to equator is steeper in that hemisphere's Winter than in its Summer .

Temperature Gradient also refers to the difference in temperature caused by fluids working with or against gravity. Due to the temperature gradient, a nitrogen molecule at 300 K can only go 10km up (smaller molecules can go higher, so Hydrogen can go over 100 km up)
