• Earth’s atmosphere is made up mostly of gases, with some suspended solids and liquids. The unique atmosphere allows life on Earth to exist.
Earth's Atmosphere
• The atmosphere is divided into five layers with different characteristics.
• The ozone layer protects Earth from too much ultraviolet radiation, which can be harmful.

• Earth receives its energy from the Sun. Some of this energy is reflected back into space, and some is absorbed.
Energy Transfer in the Atmosphere
• Heat is distributed in Earth’s atmosphere by radiation, conduction, and convection.

• Energy from the Sun powers the water cycle between the atmosphere and Earth’s surface.
• Unlike the atmosphere on Mars or Venus, Earth’s unique atmosphere maintains a balance between energy received and energy lost that keeps temperatures mild. This delicate balance allows life on Earth to exist.

• Because Earth’s surface is curved, not all areas receive the same amount of solar radiation. This uneven heating causes temperature differences at Earth’s surface.
Air Movement
• Convection currents modified by the Coriolis effect produce Earth’s global winds.

• The polar jet stream is a strong current of wind found in the upper troposphere. It forms at the boundary between cold, polar air and warm, tropical air.
Air Movement
• Land breezes and sea breezes occur near the ocean.
