Earth's atmosphere is an extremely thin sheet of air that extends from the Earth's surface to the edge of space.
Explanation:
- Earth is a sphere of about 8000 miles in diameter.
- The thickness of the atmosphere is about 60 miles.
- The troposphere can be found between the ground and an altitude of 7 to 20 kilometers (4 to 12 mi).
- Less thickness is found in the polar regions, because colder temperatures reduce the amount of gas.
- The stratosphere can be found with an average elevation of between 20 and 50 kilometers (12 and 31 mi).
- The lower elevation of the stratosphere varies seasonally and varies between 8 and 16 kilometers (5 and 10 mi).
- The thickness of the stratosphere also varies with latitude.
- The mesosphere can be found at altitudes between 50 and 85 kilometers (31 mi and 53 mi).
- The thermosphere is 90 kilometers (56 mi) to 1,000 kilometers (621 mi) above Earth's surface.
