inhabitable,
Inhabitable and habitable both mean “capable of being lived in” and, usually, by humans. An unheated stable can be lived in by horses but would not be suitable for people.
Altitude
the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level.
Density,
a measure of the amount of information on a storage medium (tape or disk). For magnetic tape it is the amount of information recorded per unit length of tape (bits per inch or millimeter); for a disk, a fixed number of bits per sector, sectors per track, and tracks per disk.
Troposphere,
the lowest region of the atmosphere, extending from the earth’s surface to a height of about 3.7–6.2 miles (6–10 km), which is the lower boundary of the stratosphere.
Stratosphere
the layer of the earth’s atmosphere above the troposphere, extending to about 32 miles (50 km) above the earth’s surface (the lower boundary of the mesosphere).
Mesosphere
the region of the earth’s atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the mesosphere, between about 30 and 50 miles (50 and 80 km) in altitude.
Thermosphere
the region of the atmosphere above the mesosphere and below the height at which the atmosphere ceases to have the properties of a continuous medium. The thermosphere is characterized throughout by an increase in temperature with height.
Exosphere,
the outermost region of a planet’s atmosphere.
Temperature
the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
Nitrogen,
the chemical element of atomic number 7, a colorless, odorless unreactive gas that forms about 78 percent of the earth’s atmosphere. Liquid nitrogen (made by distilling liquid air) boils at 77.4 kelvins (−195.8°C) and is used as a coolant.
Carbon Dioxide,
a heavy colorless gas that is formed by burning fuels, by the breakdown or burning of animal and plant matter, and by the act of breathing and that is absorbed from the air by plants in photosynthesis. carbon dioxide. noun.
Oxygen,
a chemical element that constitutes 21 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere, that is capable of combining with all elements except some noble gases, that is active in physiological processes of almost all known organisms, and that is involved especially in combustion — see Chemical Elements Table.

air pressure,
The air around you has weight, and it presses against everything it touches. That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. It
concentration,
the action or power of focusing one’s attention or mental effort.
condition,
the circumstances affecting the way in which people live or work, especially with regard to their safety or well-being.
constant,
something invariable or unchanging: such as. a : a number that has a fixed value in a given situation or universally or that is characteristic of some substance or instrument. b : a number that is assumed not to change value in a given mathematical discussion.

composition,
the nature of something’s ingredients or constituents; the way in which a whole or mixture is made up.
elevation,
the height to which something is elevated: such as. a : the angular distance of something (such as a celestial object) above the horizon. b : the degree to which a gun is aimed above the horizon. c : the height above the level of the sea
generate,
to bring into existence: such as. a : procreate, beget. b : to originate by a vital, chemical, or physical process : produce generate electricity.
hazard,
A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or someone. Basically, a hazard is the potential for harm or an adverse effect (for example, to people as health effects, to organizations as property or equipment losses, or to the environment).
increase,
o become progressively greater (as in size, amount, number, or intensity) 2 : to multiply by the production of young. transitive verb.
influence
he power or capacity of causing an effect in indirect or intangible ways : sway. 2a : the act or power of producing an effect without apparent exertion of force or direct exercise of command. b : corrupt interference with authority for personal gain
inhabitable,
