★ What is atmosphere layer of earth?
→ The atmosphere is a blanket of different types of gases which basically surround earth. It comes into the role near the surface of earth planet by earth gravitational attraction. The atmosphere is most important because without it their could be no life on earth because it protects us from the UV rays.
Earth's atmosphere is divided into five main layers :-
1) The Exosphere.
2) The Thermosphere.
3) The Mesosphere.
4) The Stratosphere.
5) The Troposphere.
★ The Exosphere :- The exosphere is a thin atmosphere like volume surrounding a planet or natural satellite where molecules are gravitationally bound to that body. It is mostly made of helium and Hydrogen.
★ The Thermosphere :- The thermosphere is the layer in the Earth's atmosphere directly present above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. Ultraviolet radiation causes photoionization/photodissociation of molecules, creating ions in the ionosphere within this layer of atmosphere.
★ The Mesosphere :- The mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere which is directly present above the Stratosphere and directly below the thermosphere.
★ The Stratosphere :- The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. It is the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward. Ozone, an unusual type of oxygen molecule that is relatively abundant in the stratosphere, heats.
★ The Troposphere :- The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth
