As much as we should appreciate and protect the atmosphere that immediately embraces this planet, the other layers of the atmosphere are essential too and provide services we may not readily ...

Imagine waking up one morning to find that Earth’s atmosphere has vanished—gone, as if erased by an invisible hand. Suddenly, ...

The Layers of Earth's Atmosphere It's easy to imagine Earth's atmosphere as a bubble of air surrounding the planet that abruptly ends with the vacuum of space.

When talking about the atmosphere, all weather occurs in the troposphere, the layer closest to the Earth.

The Earth's atmosphere is far more reactive to solar activity than scientists previously believed, with the new research showing it can pulse in near-synchronicity with the sun's powerful flares.

(WRBL) — 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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS ...

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 ...

By surpassing the Kármán line and flying 66 miles above Earth, the crew of the NS-31 mission reached the thermosphere, which is still part of the atmosphere, even if it's a very thin layer of gases.

Farthest Atmospheric Layer The exosphere is Earth’s outermost air layer, where space and atmosphere meet. It is the least dense layer of the atmosphere.

Scientists studying the zone between Earth’s atmosphere and space spotted unusual X- and C-shaped features that could thwart signals that keep our planet running smoothly.
