The Earth is surrounded by a layer of air called
ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere Is divided into 5 layers:
exosPHERE
tsmte
tHermosPHerE
mesosPHerE
stratosPHerE
troposPHerE
TropospherE
It is the closest layer to the ground where nearly all weather conditions take place. It contains about 75% of all of the air in the atmosphere, and almost all of the water vapour.
stratosphere
In this layer you can find the very important ozone layer. The ozone layer helps protect us from ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun.
mesosphere
“Meso” means middle. In this layer there is a lack of air and it's the coldest in the atmosphere. Meteor showers take place here: meteors burn up and streak across the sky (also known as shooting stars).
Thermosphere
“Thermo” means heat: the temperature in this layer can reach up to 2.500º C. The Thermosphere is home to the International Space Station as it orbits Earth.
exosphere
“Exo” means outside. This layer separates the rest of the atmosphere from outer space. The exosphere is really, really big, there is no air to breathe, and it’s very cold.
The atmosphere has some very important functions: 1. It has the oxygen that we need to breathe.
2. The atmosphere filters the Sun’s rays:
If there were no atmosphere, the Sun would burn us more.
the ozone layer is in danger
Ozone depletion is caused by the use of chemicals. It is a major environmental problem because it increases the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches Earth's surface, which increases the rate of skin cancer, eye cataracts, and genetic and immune system damage.
