atmosphere.

Troposphere
makes up approximately
75%
of the total mass of the atmosphere and contains
99
% of the atmospheres water
Troposphere
where wind clouds and water vapor are found
Components of
trace gases carbone dioxide inert gases Hydrogen methane ozone
Troposphere

75

99
percent of atmospheres water
Wind clouds and water vapor are found in this layer
Troposphere
The air in this layer is constantly moving this is the reason why airplanes experiences a bumpy ride which is known as
turbulence
The temperature in this region decreases as the altitude increases
Troposphere
Stratosphere
the temperature in this layer increase with altitude
Ozone layer
it protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays coming from the sun
Mesosphere
The temperature in this layer decreases with altitude
Mesosphere
the coldest layer of the atmosphere surrounding Earth
Thermosphere
Comparatively closer to the sun and iy absorbs a large amount of solar reaction.
The temperature in this layer increases tremendously as the distance from the earth becomes greater.
Thermosphere
Orbiting the Thermosphere is the
International Space Station
Ionosphre
ion region
Aurora borealis and aurora australis is found in the
Thermosphere
Exosphere
the temperature int his region varies from very hot to very cold
Artificial
Sattalite
orbit in this layer Exosphere
Aurora
borealis in the north
Aurora australis
in the south
