Sporadic E layers lit up during a solar storm, moving from poles to equator—surprising researchers and revealing potential ...

Computer models suggest it could be that churning in the lower atmosphere can actually pull down some of the plasma, leading to the merging of the crests into an X shape even when there are no ...

Each day, radio signals from key communications and navigation satellites travel freely through a layer of Earth ... shapes, Laskar said. Computer models point to changes in the lower atmosphere ...

The Earth's structure. Planet Earth is not a solid ball of rock, it's made up of different layers. The crust of the ... to exams to get your revision in shape.

To be fair, the crew reached one of the highest layers of Earth's atmosphere, one which only a very small percentage of humans can say they've been to. However, the edge of space and the end of ...

There's many different layers to the Earth's atmosphere, but 75% of Earth's mass is actually going to be residing in the troposphere, where we are located. Also, we see all of Earth's weather occur in ...

The ozone layer is a part of Earth’s atmosphere that captures some of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light emissions. When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years.

According to a new paper published in the journal Nature, astronomers have mapped the 3D ... s atmosphere behaves in ways that challenge our understanding of how weather works—not just on Earth ...

Scientists have sussed out a new source for the seeds of clouds. When the stratospheric layer of Earth’s atmosphere dips a toe into the underlying troposphere, the resulting chemical mixture ...
