Atmosphere:

Everybody is speaking about the climate and weather daily. Do all know about atmosphere? Ready the short info about that .

The earth is surrounded by some kind of gases like

Nitrogen – 78.1%
Oxygen – 20.9%
Argon – 0.93%
Carbon dioxide – 0.038% and some other gases.

Totally atmosphere is divided into different layers.

Troposphere:

The layer nearest the Earth is the troposphere, which reach up to a height of about 8 km in the Polar Regions and up to 17 km higher than the equator. The weather conditions we understanding takes place within the troposphere.

Stratosphere:

The stratosphere lies top of the troposphere and reaches an altitude of about 50 km. The ozone layer that protects us from the sun’s ultraviolet emission is within the stratosphere.

Mesosphere:

The mesosphere extends from the top of the stratosphere up to 80-90 km. as a final point, the thermosphere, or ionosphere, gradually diminishes and forms a downy border with outer space. There is very little integration of gases between layers.
