Atmosphere

Definition of Atmosphere
Atmosphere is layer of air or gases that cover the
Earth, contain of :
Nitrogen [N2]
78.08%
Oxygen [O2]
20.94%
Argon [Ar]
0.93%
Carbon dioxide [CO2]
0.03%
The other gases [ozone, krypton,
xenon, helium]
0.02%

Characteristic of
Atmosphere
Transparent

with all kind of radiation


Dynamist and bent
Doesnt have color, odor, and flavor
Has weight
Include of some gases [ nitrogen,
oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, etc ]
Include of some layer

The Layers of Atmosphere


Troposphere

Most bottom layer with thickness 12km.


In equator line, troposphere more thick then
In pole.
Per 100m go up, the degree decrease 0,6c
it is called gradient temperature.
In Troposphere there are weather incident,
like
cloud, rain, thunderclap, etc. In here
also has living things like bird, insect, etc.
Between troposphere and stratosphere there
is changer layer called tropopause.

Stratosphere
Second layer of atmosphere.

Stratosphere situated in elevated


place between 15 - 55km.
There is ozone for absorb ultraviolet
that very dangerous for life.
Between stratosphere and
mesosphere, there is stratopause
layer.

Mesosphere
Third layer of atmosphere that
situated in elevated place
between 55 - 80km.
Protect earth from meteor attack.
Between mesosphere and
thermosphere there is mesopause.

Thermosphere [ Ionosphere ]
Fourth layer of atmosphere that situated at
elevated place between 80 800km.
At thermosphere layer that more top, the
degree more hot [ inversion ] until 1700c
because at atmosphere layer occur
ionization
of air atom by X light and ultraviolet light by
sunlight. So, thermosphere is called
ionosphere.
There is Kennely Heaviside [ E layer ] and
Appleton [ F layer ] for bounce radio wave.

Exosphere

Most top layer from atmosphere


that situated at elevated place
between 800 1000km.
Air more hot and gravitation more
small.
After exosphere there is empty air
room.

Function of Atmosphere
For

breath [ oxygen ]
For keep the earth still warm[troposphere ]
Protect earth from meteor [ mesosphere ]
Protect beings from ultraviolet [ ozone ]
It rebound wave of radio [ Kennely
Heaviside and Appleton in Ionosphere ]
