Cards from Science Photo Library
Earths atmosphere, diagram
Earths atmosphere. Block diagram showing altitude in kilometres (km) and phenomena observed in Earths atmosphere. This profile ranges from ground level (at the Ganges Plain and Tibetan Plateau) to an altitude of 180 km. Most of the atmosphere and its weather occur in the first 20 kilometres. The layers are: the troposphere (0-12 km), the stratosphere (12-48 km), the mesosphere (48-80 km), the thermosphere (80-160 km). Phenomena shown include stratus, cumulonimbus, and cirrus clouds in the troposphere, the ozone layer in the stratosphere, noctilucent clouds in the mesosphere, a meteorite trail and aurorae (red and green) in the thermosphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Earth's atmosphere in all its glory. The diagram presents a block representation of the altitude in kilometers, ranging from ground level at the Ganges Plain and Tibetan Plateau to an impressive 180 km high. Within this vast expanse, various atmospheric phenomena are observed. The profile begins with the troposphere, extending from 0 to 12 km above the surface. This layer is home to mesmerizing cloud formations such as stratus, cumulonimbus, and cirrus clouds. Moving upward into the stratosphere (12-48 km), we encounter the ozone layer that plays a crucial role in protecting our planet. Ascending further into the mesosphere (48-80 km), we witness noctilucent clouds illuminating this region with their ethereal glow. As we reach heights of 80-160 km within the thermosphere, breathtaking aurorae dance across the sky in vibrant shades of red and green. A meteorite trail adds a touch of celestial wonder to this already awe-inspiring view. It is fascinating to note that most weather activity occurs within just 20 kilometers from ground level, emphasizing how dynamic and ever-changing our atmosphere truly is. This artwork by PLANETARY VISIONS LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY beautifully captures Earth's atmospheric layers along with their associated geographical features and astronomical phenomena. It serves as a reminder of both our planet's natural beauty and its complex scientific intricacies.
