The Earth’s Atmosphere:

2. Stratosphere: The stratosphere extends from the
top of the troposphere to about 50 kilometers (31
miles) above the Earth’s surface. It contains the
ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the
majority of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.
3
5. Exosphere: The exosphere is the outermost layer of
the Earth’s atmosphere, extending from about 600
kilometers (372 miles) to 10,000 kilometers (6,200
miles) above the Earth’s surface. It gradually
transitions into outer space and contains very few
gas molecules.
Each of these layers has its own unique characteristics
and plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of our
planet’s atmosphere.

Effects of The Air Pollution on The
Atmosphere:

4. Smog formation: Air pollution can lead to the
formation of smog, which is a mixture of pollutants,
mainly ground-level ozone and fine particulate
matter. Smog can have negative effects on human
health, particularly respiratory issues, and can also
reduce visibility.

7. Harm to wildlife: Air pollution can harm wildlife by
contaminating their habitats and food sources,
leading to negative impacts on their health and
reproductive success.

protecting the quality of the atmosphere is essential in
addressing and mitigating the effects of climate change.

In summary, the atmosphere is vital for sustaining life
on Earth and supporting human activities, making it
crucial to protect its quality and stability.

Furthermore, scientists have been exploring the
potential for using the atmosphere as a resource for
renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, and
developing technologies to mitigate the impact of air
pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
