WHY??  ____________________________________________ Gases 78 Nitrogen Oxygen 21 Other1 Water droplets Particles Due to temperature differences

 Majority of Earth’s atmosphere is made up of what gas? A. Oxygen B. Nitrogen C. Other D. None of the above

 Therm=heat  Extends to edge of the atmosphere  High temp  Air very thin  Artificial satellites

 Bottom part of thermosphere  Radiation is absorbed  Charged particles  Radio active waves bounce off  Northern/southern lights

 Middle layer  Coldest layer  Meteors burn up here

 Ozone layer, O 3, absorbs UV  Air planes fly  Jet stream  Increase in temp

 Bottom layer (closest to surface)  Layer that surrounds us  Where weather occurs  Decrease in temp  Increase in trapped heat from the surface

 TIMS T
