"Atmospheric general circulation models which range up to the lower edge of space have only been developed by a limited number of research institutions around the world, including our own," said Sato.

According to NASA the upper layer of Earth's atmosphere — the exosphere — extends up to 6,200 miles (10,000 km), above which the atmosphere and space blend.

Together, these layers protect us from the sun’s harmful radiation and keep temperatures on Earth habitable for all living beings. Understanding how the atmosphere works is crucial to everyday life.

The evolution of Earth’s climate contains many components. And new research has shown just how critical the ozone layer is to the surface temperature of the Earth. Without an ozone layer, our ...

Earth’s atmosphere comprises multiple layers, each with its own role. Above the troposphere, Earth ’s innermost layer (which contains Earth’s oxygen and houses what we call weather), is the ...

The Earth has a fascinating atmosphere that contains several unique layers. The Troposphere is the layer that we live in, it starts at the surface but the height often varies to about 9-12 miles up.

Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly but noticeably healing at a pace that would restore the layer across much of the world by the 2040s, and would fully mend the hole over Antarctica in ...

When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted underwater in January, it created a plume of ash and water that broke through the third layer of Earth’s atmosphere. CNN values your feedback 1.
