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

Exosphere  Temperature:  Distance:  500  km  and  up    Facts:  air  is  very  “thin”
