GIRL GOES

ATMOSPHERE LOCA!!!

Filled with lots of science FUN :D

WHAT WILL YOU FIND INSIDE?

This March issue of EMA NYE THE SCIENCE

GIRL will open the doors of the atmosphere

and will allow you to explore it and learn all

the things you need to be an expert (like me

and bill) So go on what are you waiting for

lets start having fun!

WHY DO WE EVEN NEED AN

ATMOSPHERE?

Without the earths atmosphere there

would be absolutely no humans in our

planet. What it does is that it absorbs

ultra violet rays that come from the sun

and heats up our planet with a precise

temperature so it can be suitable for

water to be both preserved and created

and for us to be in a moderate warmth.

The Atmosphere also protects human

race from very dangerous radiations that

try to hit our planet such as beta rays

and ultraviolet rays that can be very

harmful to our skin and ecosystems.

CAN YOU IMAGINE

Many meteorites and asteroids that have hit

our earths atmosphere split up because of the

quick speed at witch they hit it. So it protects us

from very dangerous out space materials.

THE LAYERS OF THE

ATMOSPHERE

The scientist have divided our atmosphere into 4

parts according to the temperature. They are the

following: troposhere, stratosphere mesosphere and

the thermosphere. The farther away from Earth the

thiner the layers of the atmosphere get.

This layer is the one that is closest to the Earths surface,

it is 75% of all of the atmosphere mass. The temperature

and the pressure decrease when you go higher up into the

troposphere

Here its were we live and were airplanes travel.

WEATHER AND PRECIPITATION HAPPEN IN THIS

LAYER!!!

The Tropopause: At the very top of the troposphere is the

tropopause scientists call the tropopause a "cold trap"

because this is a point where rising water vapour cannot go

higher because it changes into ice and is trapped. If there is

no cold trap, Earth wouldent have water!

The stratosphere is one of the most important

layer of all! Well it contains the ozone layer witch

absorbs all of the ultraviolet rays and warms our

planet earth with a accurate temperature.

Pressure is higher at this layer

IT HAS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE OF THE

MOSOSPHERE

This

is the second layer of the atmosphere! The

temperature is very cold it can go about low as - 90

- 90 Celsius because of the low temperature the

the pressure is also lower.

When meteoroids and asteroids hit this layer of

the atmosphere they collapse and burn this is a

huge role because it prevents impacts from outer

space.

This is the largest and most outer layer of the

atmosphere. The ionosphere and the exosphere

compose it. Here satellites and other space

equipment can be found radio waves travel to this

and then bounce and return to Earth when they have

hit the satellite that sends all of the information to

earth. The pressure varieties because on the top of

the exosphere the pressure is very low. Within the

ionosphere and below it the pressure is higher

because it has much more atmosphere on top of it.

Composition of the atmosphere

TYPE OF GAS %

nytrogen 78%

oxygen 21%

argon 0.9%

Carbon dioxide o.o3%

Other gases 0.6%
