The Layers of Earth's Atmosphere🌏



Troposphere:

  • Lowest layer 6 to 20 km.
  • weather occurs.
  • Temp. 17°C to -51°C.
  • Majority mass (70-80%) in this layer.
  • Gas, water vapor, and dust live here.
  • Tropopause means the meeting point of the troposphere and stratosphere or the uppermost part of the troposphere and the lower part of the stratosphere.

Stratosphere:

  • Above the troposphere to 50 km.
  • Temp. -60°C to -15°C.
  • Ozone layer. Absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV).
  • Stratopause is a similar thing—the uppermost part of the stratosphere and the lower part of the mesosphere.

Mesosphere:

  • 85 kilometers above Earth’s surface (30km to 85km).
  • -15°C to -120°C.
  • thin air and can't breathe.
  • The meteoroid burned here because it has thin air, so due to friction meteoroid burned. 
  • Mesopause, i.e., uppermost part of mesosphere and lower part of thermosphere.

Thermosphere:

  • 85km to 600 km.
  • Solar radiation makes the upper regions of the thermosphere very hot i.e., 2,000°C.

Exosphere:

  • outermost layer.
  • Above 600km.
  • The pull of Earth’s gravity is so small here that molecules of gas escape into outer space.

Ionosphere:

  • 70km to 1000km.
  • Mostly ions and electrons.
  • Glowing atmosphere.
  • Because of this, Arora appears.
  • It divided into D, E, and F region.

Magnetosphere:

  • Extended 6 to 10 times of earth's radius (it can change due to solar activities.)
  • Earth's internal magnetic region.
  • To protect from harmful radiation that comes from the sun.
  • Magnetopause means the outer boundary of Earth's magnetic field.
  • It has no uniform shape. In the Indian frame, at night they are extended, and in the daytime they are shorter.
