Explanation:
BIOSPHERE
From the Greek bios, "life," and sphaira, "sphere," biosphere came into English use in the 19th century.
LITHOSPHERE
Litho" is from the Greek word lithos, meaning stone. "Sphere" is from the Greek word sphaira, meaning globe or ball. The solid outer crust of any celestial body can also be called the lithosphere.
HYDROSPHERE
Hydrosphere combines the Greek root hydro-, "water," and sphere, "globe, cosmos, or space," from the Greek sphaira, "globe or ball."
ATMOSPHERE
Atmosphere has a very simple etymology: it comes from New Latin atmosphaera, a compound noun composed of Greek atmós “vapor, steam, odor” and sphaîra “ball, globe, terrestrial or planetary sphere, eyeball, boxing gloves.” Neither Greek noun has a reliable etymology.
ENVIRONMENT
The noun environment was borrowed from a French word meaning the action of surrounding something. It has been used in English since the early 17th century, but the meaning above has only been around since the mid 20th century.
