Troposphere Temperature: 20oC -‐ -‐60oC Distance: 0 – 10 km Facts: most weather happens here, 99% of water vapor, convec<on currents, 75% of gases, plants/animals

Stratosphere Temperature: 40oC -‐ 0oC Distance: 10 – 50 km Facts: contains ozone, jet fly here, manned balloons Ozone Layer Facts: 3 oxygen atoms combined, absorbs ultraviolet radia<on (that causes skin cancer) chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) break apart the O3 atoms

Mesosphere Temperature: 0oC -‐ -‐80oC Distance: 50 – 85 km Facts: coldest region, protects Earth from meteors

Ionosphere Loca9on: in mesosphere/thermosphere Facts: layer of electrically charged par<cles, causes radio waves to bounce off the Earth and move far away, auroras happen here

Thermosphere Temperature: -‐80oC -‐ up to 2000oC Distance: 85-‐ 500 km Facts: thickest layer, high temperatures
