Atmosphere Facts

Did you know that Earth’s atmosphere is made up of several layers, each with its own unique characteristics? The atmosphere consists of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. It protects us from harmful solar radiation, helps regulate the planet’s temperature, and contains the air we breathe. The ozone layer, located in the stratosphere, plays a crucial role in blocking ultraviolet rays. Weather phenomena like clouds, rain, and storms occur in the troposphere, the lowest layer.
