Earth's atmosphere. Illustration showing layers of the Earth's atmosphere,as revealed by various natural phenomena. At lower left,weather occurs in the troposphere (below 15km height); passenger airlines fly to this ceiling. Above is the strato- sphere where the ozone layer (white line,balloon) occurs at 30-50km height. Meteor showers (lower centre) occur in the mesosphere to 80km; above in the thermosphere is the aurora effect at the level of the space shuttle. Electromagnetic radiation (right) penetrates levels of the atmosphere: gamma rays (centre right pale blue),X-rays,ultraviolet rays,a rainbow of visible light,infrared rays (orange) and radio waves (red) | |
