How many levels of the atmosphere are there?
5
What are the 5 levels of Atmosphere?
~ Troposphere ~ Stratosphere ~ Mesosphere ~ Thermosphere ~ Exosphere
What Atmosphere does this describe? The highest atmosphere level. This is were atoms and molecules escape into space.
Exosphere
What Atmosphere does this describe? The air is thin and can heat up to 1,500c or higher when the sun is active.
Thermosphere
What Atmosphere does this describe? In the region, levels of the ozone and water vapor are almost non existent! Very cold temperatures.
Mesosphere
What Atmosphere does this describe? Is cooler in lower levels and warmer in the higher levels. Jet planes travel here.
Stratosphere
What Atmosphere does this describe? This layer is the closest to the earth’s surface. It is where most weather occurs.
Troposphere
How many layers of soil is there?
