ATMOSPHERE
•LAYERS OF GAS
THAT SURROUNDS
THE EARTH’S
SURFACE.
•MIXTURE OF:
• 78% NITROGEN
• 21% OXYGEN
• 1% OTHER GASES

LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
•TROPOSPHERE: THE GASEOUS LAYER CLOSEST TO
THE GROUND. WE LIVE HERE.
•STRATOSPHERE: WHERE THE OZONE LAYER
PROTECTS US FROM HARMFUL RADIATION.
•MESOSPHERE:
COLD MIDDLE LAYER
•THERMOSPHERE:
HOT OUTER LAYER, HEATED
BY THE SUN
