The atmosphere is the gaseous layer that covers the Earth. It is made up of layers with specific functions according to their temperature, height, composition and other characteristics.
The troposphere is the lowest layer. It is in contact with the Earth’s surface. It contains 90% of all the atmospheric gases and almost all the water vapor.
It is 7km thick at the poles and 16km thick at the tropics.
All atmospheric phenomena is generated in this area and it is here where life on Earth takes place.
Above the troposphere is the stratosphere, where the thin ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.
It is around 50km thick .

What is Ozone?
Above the troposphere is the stratosphere, where the thin ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.
It is around 50km thick .
What is Ozone?
Ozone (O3) is an inorganic molecule. Its odor is sharp, similar to chlorine. It can damage respiratory tissues in animals if breathed directly.

What is ultraviolet radiation?
Ultraviolet radiation (also known as UV radiation or ultraviolet rays) is a form of energy traveling through space. Without the ozone layer, the UV radiation would kill life on Earth.
Physical events associated with the atmosphere.
Atmospheric phenomena
Physical events associated with the atmosphere.
Atmospheric phenomena
A flash of electricity in the clouds. It
occurs between the ground and the sky. It is very dangerous

Wind happens when a mass of air is heated and rises.
When the air cools down, it drops down and moves.
