The atmosphere
The earth is made up of a lot of things but they are all in these spheres. There are the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and the atmosphere today I’m going to explain the atmosphere.
There are five layers of the atmosphere the lowest layer is the troposphere this is where we live and where all the weather happens. Up next is the stratosphere there is little clouds here. Now the mesosphere it’s the coldest and the hardest layer and also the layer that meteors burn up in. up next is the thermosphere this is the hottest layer lastly the exosphere it’s 10,000 km thick!!! And its basically outer space.
Now you know the layers of the atmosphere you might be asking what is the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the layers separating the earth from space and it protects us from many sun rays.
Now to know how thick is each layer is let’s start with the furthest away the exosphere it’s 10,000 km thick. Now the thermosphere it’s 600 km thick. Up next is the mesosphere and it’ 50 to 85 km thick. Now the stratosphere it’s 50 km thick lastly the troposphere it’s 14.5 km thick.
In conclusion, the atmosphere protects us from the sun and it keeps us warm and able to breathe.
