39 Facts about
atmosphere describing atleast one characteristic of each of the four main layers of the atmosphere
1. Atmosphere is the layer of gas
surrounding the earth.
2. Temperature in the atmosphere varies
with altitudes.
3. The higher the altitudes the lesser
the density of air.
4. The troposphere is part of the atmosphere
we live.
5. The composition of air in the troposphere
is nitrogen 78%, oxygen 21%, carbon dioxide 0.03% and the rest are inert gases
and water vapor.
6. The scattering of solar radiation by
the air molecules is called molecular scattering.
7. The scattering of dust particle,
organic particles by the atmosphere is called particulate scattering.
8. The atmosphere protects the earth and
it’s living against harmful solar rays.
9. The atmosphere maintains the earth
temperature at moderate levels.
10.
The
thick layers of the atmosphere blocks gamma rays, cosmic rays from reaching the
earth.
11.
The
thick atmospheric layers destroy meteors before reaching the earth.
12.
Troposphere,
stratosphere, chemosphere, ionosphere are layers of the atmosphere.
13.
The
troposphere is 0km to 11km above the earth surface.
14.
Clouds
and weather element are in the troposphere.
15.
At
the troposphere the higher you go the cooler it become.
16.
The
next layer after the troposphere is the stratosphere.
17.
The
stratosphere is within 11km to 48km upwards.
18.
The
ozone layer is in the stratosphere.
19.
Green
house gases are in the ozone layer.
20.
The
atmosphere provides warmth to the organisms within the earth.
21.
Depletion
of the ozone layer can cause global warming.
22.
Destructive
ultraviolet solar radiation is trapped by the ozone layer.
23.
In
the stratosphere the higher you go the hotter it becomes.
24.
The
highest temperature in the stratosphere is 0°c.
25.
Mesosphere
is the next layer after the stratosphere.
26.
Mesosphere
is a thin layer.
27.
The
atmosphere allows short solar waves to pass while blocking earthly long wavelength.
28.
The
atmosphere act like glass in a green house.
29.
Carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide, chlorofluorocarbon and water vapor are cause
of green house effects.
30.
The
stop global warming atmospheric intake of green house gases must be reduced.
31.
Burning
fossil fuels are responsible for increase in green house effect.
32.
In
the mesosphere the higher you go the cooler it becomes.
33.
The
highest temperature in the mesosphere is -90°c.
34.
The
next layer is the thermosphere.
35.
The
thermosphere is 55km above
36.
It
is high temperature layer about thousands of degrees.
37.
Exosphere
is a layer after the thermosphere.
38.
Ionosphere
is the sum of all region containing ions.
