The Atmosphere:
The Atmosphere is a layer of gases, that is held in place by gravity.
The outer layers are other planets' atmosphere.
The atmosphere protects the Earth by warming the surface through heat radiation.
It protects us from the Sun's rays, and Meteorites.
The layers of the Atmosphere are, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Ozone Layer, Troposphere and then Earth.
The Troposphere is where all weather differences take place and is 14 km.
The Stratosphere flows air horizontally most of the time and is 90 km.
The Ozone Layer is a reactive form to oxygen and is 50 km.
The Ionosphere / Mesosphere are where many atoms are organized or made and is 350 km.
The Atmosphere is a mixture of 78% of Nitrogen, 21% of Oxygen and 1% of other gases.
As you go farther up into the sky, the air gets thinner, because the atmosphere is getting closer and closer to space. Our atmosphere protects us from some of the Sun’s dangerous rays by trapping the heat, making the weather a comfortable temperature. Greenhouse gases and air pollutants are released into the atmosphere causing, Global Warming, Ozone Holes, and Acid Rain.
Earth’s atmosphere is 300 miles thick, but only 10 miles of it, is Earth’s surface. Nobody knows exactly where the atmosphere ends, until it gets so small, it goes to space.
Earth’s atmosphere was made by a planetary degassing. Where gases were released from the interior from volcanoes and other things in the processes.
Some people like to describe the atmosphere as a blanket surrounding a plant, or some say an egg also.
No other planets have the same gases combined together as our atmosphere. The gases from the atmosphere are very vital to our lives.
Steven Hawking believes there are no other planets out there developing a atmosphere like Earth’s.
