The atmosphere of earth has five main layers, the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. Each layer is crucial for life and various phenomena.

As much as we should appreciate and protect the atmosphere that immediately embraces this planet, the other layers of the atmosphere are essential too and provide services we may not readily recognize ...

(WAND) - Earth's atmosphere is divided into several distinct layers, each characterized by specific temperature variations, composition, and phenomena. Below are the primary layers of the atmosphere, ...

Your every breath serves as a reminder that the atmosphere of Earth is silently carrying out its function. Since air is ...

Scientists have been celebrating seventy years of continuous data collection of measurements from the ionosphere, the outer-most layer in the Earth’s atmosphere. On 11 January 1931, a sequence of ...

Scientists are studying tiny grains of space dust found in Arctic ice to learn how Earth’s climate has changed over time.

A new climate intervention strategy aims to decrease the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere by injecting it with ice-forming nuclei. The idea is that, by reducing the water content, more heat ...

The outermost part of our planet’s atmosphere extends well beyond the lunar orbit – almost twice the distance to the Moon. A recent discovery based on observations by the ESA/NASA Solar and ...

A Nov. 12, 2023, Instagram post (direct link, archive link) suggests that missions to the moon are impossible because a spacecraft couldn't survive the trip through a layer of Earth's atmosphere ...

A tremendous cosmic explosion 2.4 billion light years away temporarily changed the electric field in Earth’s ionosphere (the electrically-charged upper layer of our atmosphere that helps shield life ...

Scientists have sussed out a new source for the seeds of clouds. When the stratospheric layer of Earth’s atmosphere dips a toe into the underlying troposphere, the resulting chemical mixture becomes a ...
