THE ATMOSPHERE
 

 

 

 


         

 

         

 

 

á   Did you know the earth is surrounded by a blanket of air that we call the atmosphere

 

á   The Atmosphere surrounds Earth and protects us by blocking out dangerous rays of the sun

 

á   The troposphere is the layer closest to the earth. Where the air we breath & where weather occurs.

 

á   The Stratosphere has less turbulence so itÕs very stable for planes.

 

á   The average height of the Thermosphere is 1,000¡c or higher!

 

á   The Mesosphere has an average height of -190¡ c. This is 190 to 180 k.

 

á   The Thermosphere is the layer first to be exposed to the sun. Since itÕs so, close itÕs 1,500¡c or higher!!!!!!!

 

á   The Atmosphere describes all the air surrounding the earth from the ground all the way up to the edge of deep space.

 

á   The atmosphere reaches over 560km (348 miles) from the surface of the earth, so we are only able to see what occurs fairly closest to the ground!

 

á   EarthÕs atmosphere is a mixture of gases, suspended solids and liquids that surrounds the planets!
