4 Structures of the Atmosphere
The atmosphere is separated into layers based on temperature Layer Distance above Earths Surface Average Temperature Description Troposphere 0-16km 20 to 500C -ALL weather -water vapour -Increase altitudes causes drop in temperature Stratosphere 16-50 km 100C -ozone rich -dry layer -increase altitude causes increase in temperature

5 Structures of the Atmosphere continued…
Layer Distance above Earths Surface Average Temperature Description Mesosphere 50-80 km -750C -middle layer -meteors burn up here Thermosphere km 300C (absorbs x-rays 6000C -Ionosphere (sun’s energy electrically charges particles) -Aurora’s -allows radio transmission Exosphere 500 km ++ -”space” -few particles/spread out -satellites orbit here
