Thermosphere

The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, protecting life on Earth.

The exosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, and it has much lower particle density compared to lower layers.

Meteors burn up in the mesosphere due to friction with air particles, creating the visual phenomenon known as shooting stars.

stratosphere - Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which can lead to an increase in global temperatures, contributing to global warming.

In the thermosphere, nitrogen and oxygen absorb solar radiation, exciting electrons that release energy as light, creating auroras.

In the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude, averaging about 1°C for every 100 meters.

Weather systems develop in the troposphere due to uneven solar energy distribution, which leads to convection currents.

Temperatures can reach up to 2,500 °C in the exosphere, but it feels cold due to the extremely thin air, which doesn’t transfer heat effectively.

Long-distance planes fly in the stratosphere due to its thinner air, which reduces drag and fuel consumption.
