In a stable atmosphere, if air rises, the air around it will be warmer than it, causing the air to sink back down. In the next Weather Whys, we’ll discuss the upper layers of the atmosphere and ...

Top Videos The final layer is the exosphere, where the Earth's atmosphere gradually gives way to space. It extends from 440 miles above the Earth's surface to 6,200 miles.

Located between about 700 and 10,000 kilometers (440 and 6,200 miles) above Earth’s surface, the exosphere is the highest layer of Earth’s atmosphere and, at its top, merges with the solar wind.

Water is actually a greenhouse gas at these upper layers of the atmosphere. So no matter what, we are likely going to cause harm on the environment. But we can certainly tweak how much harm is caused.

First, you have the Troposphere. It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, and closest to Earth’s surface. It extends up to 5-9 miles and this is the layer where most of our weather occurs.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — How many layers do you think there are in our atmosphere? Five! We have five different layers between us and outer space. From the surface up there is the troposphere, the ...

The blue layer directly behind the shuttle is the mesosphere, and the white layer is the stratosphere. Below that is Earth's troposphere, the lowest portion of the atmosphere, seen in orange.

The junction between layers of atmosphere is usually not a discreet line, but rather a transition zone where one blends into another. The change may happen over miles.

There are five major layers in the Atmosphere. Each one of the layers has unique details. Starting from the earth's surface and working our way high up in the atmosphere, we have the Troposphere ...

This layer extends up to about 31 miles above the Earth's surface. The National Weather Service says this layer holds 19-percent of the atmosphere's gasses, but little water vapor.
