Parts of Atmos

A

Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, Thermosepgere, Expsphere

25
lowest layer of atmos, 75-80% mass of atmosphere
Troposphere
26
Almost all weather conditions occur in this layer
Tropo
27
ozone layer is here, little water vapor
Stratosphere
28
O3
Ozone
29
middle, meteors are burned here
Mesosphere
30
relatively high conce of iron and netal atoms
Mesosphere
31
hottest, sattelites and radio waves travel here
Thermosphere
32
satellite placement, very thin, low amt of gas
Exosphere
33
Temp and Distance is inversely prop
Layers of atmos
34
Tropo, Meso, Exo
the higher you go the colder
35
