✒ Atmosphere :-
- An atmosphere is a blanket of gases that surrounds Earth.
- It is held near the surface of the planet by Earth’s gravitational attraction.
- Argon, oxygen and nitrogen from the three main constitutions of the atmosphere.
- There is no boundary between the atmosphere and outer space.
- The atmosphere gets less dense and denser until it “blends” into outer space.
✒ Facts about Atmosphere :-
- The Atmosphere contains the air that we breathe.
- The Atmosphere helps retain the sun’s heat and prevents it from escaping back into space.
- The Atmosphere protects life from harmful radiation from the sun.
- The Atmosphere plays a major role in Earth’s water cycle.
- The Atmosphere helps keep the climate on Earth moderate.

✏ Layers of Atmosphere :-
There are Five Layers of Atmosphere named as
- Exosphere
- Thermosphere
- Mesosphere
- Stratosphere
- Troposphere
Let study about different types of layers in Atmosphere in Detail.
----------------------------------------
1. Exosphere
- Exosphere is the final frontier of the Earth’s gaseous envelope.
- The air in the exosphere is constantly but gradually leaking out of the Earth’s atmosphere into outer space.
- There is no clear cut upper boundary where the exosphere finally fades away into space.
2. Thermosphere
- The thermosphere is the layer in the Earth's atmosphere directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere.
- Within this layer of the atmosphere, ultraviolet radiation causes photoionization/photodissociation of molecules, creating ions.
- The thermosphere thus constitutes the larger part of the ionosphere.
3. Mesosphere
- Above the stratosphere is the mesosphere and it extends to a height of about 85 km (53 miles) from the ground.
- Here, the temperature grows colder as you rise up through the mesosphere.
- The coldest parts of our atmosphere are located in this layer and can reach –90°C.
4. Stratospher
- Above the troposphere lies the stratosphere which extends from the top of the troposphere to about 50 km (31 miles) above the ground.
- The ozone layer lies within the stratosphere.
- Ozone molecules in this layer absorb high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and convert it into heat.
5. Troposphere
- The troposphere is the lowest layer in the atmosphere.
- It extends upward to about 10kms above sea level starting from ground level.
- The lowest part of the troposphere is called the boundary layer and the topmost layer is called the tropopause.
- The troposphere contains 75% of all air in the atmosphere.
