notes
- the atmosphere is how the earth is protected from harful rays and extreme tempatures.
- also the earth made the ozone layer that also help protect from harmfull rays.
- there are 5 layers of the atmosphere
- which are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere.
- tropospher is the lowest layer
- weather happens in the tropospher
- most of the heat the is in the tropospher comes from the earth
- stratosphere is right above the tropospher
- air crafts fly in the stratospher
- ozone layer is in the stratosphere
- mesosphere is above the stratospher
- mesosphere is the coldest layer
- rocks and meteors burn up here
- thermosphere is the thickest layer
- exosphere is extremly thin
- outter layer where space shuttles orbits
- molecules are more densely pack at the surface
- our life depends on the ozone layer
the ozone layer helps protect us from harm full rays and hot tempatuers - either the sun energy is absorbed or reflected
- when the sun has energy it is more likely that anything that is dark in color will absorb the heat and anything that is light in color will reflect the energy back to space.
