Atmosphere and Air Pressure

ATMOSPHERE     :

Atmosphere "Atmosphere is the huge blanket of gas that circles the entire Earth. Without it, life as we know it could not exist." Chainreaction.com.
Atmosphere is made up of many layers. 

- Troposphere            

- Stratosphere

- Mesosphere

- Thermosphere

- Exosphere


All the atmosphere have different height. from the lowest to the highest. 

And every one of them have a difference from the others layers.
Like for example, Troposphere have a stable temprature than thermosphere. 
Stratosphere is the one that produce the ozone. And mesosphere is the one you see when shooting star happen. Thermosphere is the one that have satelite. And the last one Exosphere is the one that the people use for comunnication. Because there is so much uv and the molecule of oxygen and Uv. And the Air is not one anymore.The molecule is not form as one. Because its already splitted. 

Here is the picture.






Its not only the atmosphere layers. Atmosphere layers also have a 
air pressure. distinguished from each height. "Atmospheric pressure drops as you go higher up in the atmosphere. Pressure at sea level is around a thousand millibars. Five kilometers (about 16 thousand feet) up pressure is 
only about half as much." Thats why there is an air pressure in 
different attitude


Here is he picture  :




Physical Process in Atmosphere  : 

How Solar Radiation happen? 

Solar radiation can happen because there is an energy transfer from the sun
to the earth. Why its called solar radiation?. Because the sun produce a Uv radiation that will hurt the earth livings. The energy transfer is complete when the radiation that move from the sun surface to the earth surface. The analogy is you heating a water using a pan without touching the fire



Heating earth surface

Heating earthsurface is is related to the how solar radiation happen. solar radiation is the one that heating the earth. Thats why earth is always hot. Or some way that heppen bad is the green house effect. Its when the radiation comes to earth and the radiation reflected back to  the outer space that will destroy the ozone. There is 3 way thats will happen 

This is some of way :

A. Conduction  : The energy that move through a vibration

B. Advection / Convection  : The energy that move through fluids and gases

C. Radiation  : The energy that moves through a electromagnetic waves like sound




Emmision of outgoing infrared radiation

Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic waves that transfer energy a lot faster and longer that usual electromagnetic waves. its unlike conduction , advection and radiation. thats why we can still fell the sun heat even its thousands miles away. some of surface can absorb better that others for emitting and absorbing infrared radiation. he is the table.

Water Cycle

"Water on Earth is always changing. Its repeating changes make a cycle. As water goes through its cycle, it can be a solid (ice), a liquid (water), or a gas (water vapor). Ice can change to become water or water vapor. Water can change to become ice or water vapor. Water vapor can change to become ice or water."www.cotf.edu.  How it can change?. It because the heat of earth is alwas changing. By adding or substracting the heat on the water can make the water cyle work. The water from river , Sea , Lake , Swamp etc. can turn into vapor. Water vapor can condences into million tiny drops that form clouds. And cloud lose their water from rain or snow which called percipitation. Then the water that fall from the raining goes in to the ground. and plant use it photosyntesis and the water turns again into vapor and form cloud again. and continued...

Here is the picture  :



Why is atmosphere important for earth and the living things?

The atmosphere on earth is important because it just like insulating blanket
that will protect the earth. some of the uses are Softens intense light and heat of the sun , the ozone on stratosphere absorb the uv light that protect the living things inside from extinction , the oxygen on atmosphere help us alive , and the heat on atmosphere burn the meteors and prevent damaged to earth. Thats why the atmosphere is very importan to earth and the living things inside. 




  • Did you Know That the thinnest atmosphere layer is 12 KM HEIGHT!!!
  • Did you know? The coldest earth layers is mesosphere that is -900 Celcius!!
  • Did you know? The thermosphere maximum heat is 12.000 Celcius!!
  • Did you know? Acid rain is caused by sulfur that combined with vapor that will destroy forest and the living orgasm he hit!!
