Bhmdie Chit oun' Have a Question? Ask Andy Atmosphere Contains Little 'Layer Designation Andv sends o complete 20 volume set Of the MERIT STUDENTS ENCYCLOPEDIA to Kevin Donnelly, 12, dossier City. Lo . for his auestion Is it true that the atmosphere is in layers? The word layers suggests sandwiches and birthday cakes, whose flat sections can be separated and the spaces them stuffed with this and that. There is very between little resemblance these layers and the layers of the airy atmosphere. It is true that the quality of the gaseous air changes as we go higher. But usually there is no precise boundary between one layer and the next. between d Our planet, as we know, is composed of sturdy solids, fluid liquids and restless gases that refuse to stay put unless ' imprisone' within walls. The atmosphere is an enormous shell of assorted gases surrounding the entire globe. reaching from the surface up to more than 1,000 miles Within this spacious realm, its airy gases have almost complete freedom to roam Most of them are continuously mixing and mingling, flowing and blowing m all directions. Outside Forces It is hard to imagine how or why our gaseous atmosphere would arrange itself m different layers, or levels one above another. But it does. This happens because gravity and various other outside forces are exerted upon it. For example, the entire atmosphere is held captive by the earth gravity, and gravity is related to weight. The total weight of our airy atmosphere is estimated to be a stunning 5,600 million million tons The pull of gravity helps to this enormous weight in different layers, be distribute cause its pull is stronger at the surface of the planet until its thin topmost get lost m space from whence it diminishes with distance Most of the air is held close to the surface, and about 99 percent of the atmospheres total weight is concentrated m the bottom 20 miles. Above this lev el, the skimpy gases become thmner and still thinner. The enormous thermosphere has two distinct layers. The lower level is the electrically charged ionosphere It reaches from about 50 to 300 miles above the surface Above it, the ' temperature gradually rises to above 2,500 degrees as the outer exosphere reaches more than 1,000 miles to the upper limits of the atmo- From 93 million miles away, the sun also helps to sort the earth's atmosphere into different layers. The dense bottom layer doesnt absorb much heat from solar radiation, but the earth does. The air is heated and cb.Ued in patches by warm and chilly spots on the earths surface. The thin- ner upper levels are exposed to solar radiation. At one upper level, solar energy changes the gaseous molecinto ules ions. charged Through the higher levels, the temperature nses, and in the upper limits it soars above 2,000 degrees F. Vague Boundaries The earth and the sun conspire to sort our deep atmosphere into layers, though the boundaries between them are somewhat vague. The dense lower level is the weathery troposphere, which reaches to about ten miles above the Equator and dips to six miles above the poles Its turbulent gases are stirred up by warm and cool patches on the surface Above it is the thm cool stratosphere, which reaches up to merge with the thm warm mesosphere Higher still is the thermosphere, which gets hotter and hotter gases Leonard Marr Bv Oil Mage sphere.
