3. Atmosphere Atmosphere is the blanket of air that surrounds the earth. It protect the Earth from the harmful radiations coming from the sun by trapping them. The atmosphere is made of various gases and varies in density as one moves away from the surface of the earth. ©2017 Vnaya.com Inc. All rights reserved

4. Layers of Atmosphere The atmosphere comprises of 5 layers namely Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere Exosphere ©2017 Vnaya.com Inc. All rights reserved

5. Troposphere This layer is closest to the earth’s surface. It extends to a height of 12 Km or 7 miles. Weather variations takes place in this layer. Stratosphere This is next to troposphere and ranges from 12 Km to 50 Km. It contains ozone layer and blocks the UV rays of the Sun. ©2017 Vnaya.com Inc. All rights reserved

6. Mesosphere Mesosphere is next to stratosphere extending from 50 Km to 80 Km. The highest clouds are found in this layer. Thermosphere It extends from 80 Km to 700 Km. It has very low density. The international space station orbits the earth in this layer. ©2017 Vnaya.com Inc. All rights reserved

7. Exosphere Exosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth’s atmosphere ranging from 700 Km to 10,000 Km. Most of the satellites orbiting the Earth are present in this layer. This is also called ionosphere as it contains a lot of ions of Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen, oxygen etc. ©2017 Vnaya.com Inc. All rights reserved

16. Hail storm Hail is when the rain water freezes to ice and falls down as HAIL. At times hail storm can be accompanied by rain. Depending upon the cold temperature, the hail stones can be of different sizes. ©2017 Vnaya.com Inc. All rights reserved

17. Thunderstorm Thunderstorm is when the clouds produce loud thunder and lightening. It can accompanied by rain and winds. ©2017 Vnaya.com Inc. All rights reserved
