AS A SCIENTIST MY MISSION FOR

TODAY IS TO GIVE INFORMATION

ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERE TO
BEACONS!
This Mission can be Entitled as Getting to Know the
Atmosphere!

Student: Scientist
Kristina, How are the
different layers of the
atmosphere classified?

The atmosphere can be observed in the

image behind myself, and it is very
amazing and interesting. Well, to pique
your interest even more, our atmosphere,
our atmosphere is divided into layers: the
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere,
thermosphere, and exosphere. Then to
answer your question, these five different
layers are classified by temperature
changes, chemical composition,
movement, and density. Last but not
least, be informed that each layer has
pauses where cessation takes place.

conditions in the troposphere can have an impact on our daily activities
since planes are unable to withstand the pressure, clouds, and lightning
induced by weather. Finally, some spacecraft employ electromagnetic
fields to stay in low Earth orbit without requiring any propellant by using
electromagnets and electrically charged gases.
Student: Last question, lovely scientist!
What layer in the atmosphere will I be
likely affected? Why? How?

Good question! It is the

troposphere! Because the
troposphere's lowest levels are
usually heavily impacted by the
Earth's surface. This sublayer, also
known as the planetary boundary
layer, is the part of the atmosphere
where the surface influences
temperature, moisture, and wind
speed through turbulent mass
transfer. Moreover, The
troposphere is where we live, and
it's where almost all of the weather
happens. Because the troposphere
contains 99 percent of the water

 Summary
According to my understanding, our
atmosphere is divided into five layers which Very well said!
are the troposphere, stratosphere,
mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
Their temperature and altitude are used to
classify them. They're also divided into groups
based on their chemical composition,
movement, and density. However, we must
always keep in mind that there are pauses
between layers where we can find cessation.
Then, their differences in identity, aside from
temperature, can be attributed to the elements
they contain, such as nitrogen. Others could
include electrically pressure created by
molecules, weather conditions, electrically
charged gas, and magnetic fields. The
troposphere, on the other hand, will have the
greatest impact on us. Since it contains most
of the factors that can influence the
temperature and this is where we live in.
