PPT-The Atmosphere: The layer of air that surrounds a planet is called the Atmosphere. The

  Activity Aim To show that Air occupies space   Materials required A piece of paper a bowl water a glass   Procedure i Let us crumple a sheet of paper ii Let us stuff the paper ball inside a glass iii Let us invert the glass and push it into a bowl of water. Controlled atmosphere storage refers to the constant monitoring an d adjustment of the CO and O levels within gas tight stores or containers The gas mixture will constantly change due to metabolic activity of the respiring fruits and vegetables in t Key Terms. Atmosphere. – a thin envelope of gases that encircles the earth and other particles (aerosols). Weather. – the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. Meteorology. – the study of the atmosphere and the processes that cause weather. Topic:. Formation of. gas giant planets. Lecture by: C.P. Dullemond. Two main theories. Gravitational instability of the gas disk. Core accretion scenario. Giant Planet Formation by. Gravitational Instability. Lesson Objectives. Describe how the temperature of the atmosphere changes with altitude.. Outline the properties of the troposphere.. Explain the role of the ozone layer in the stratosphere.. Describe conditions in the mesosphere.. NC Essential Standard:. Compare the composition, properties, and structure of Earth’s atmosphere to include: mixtures of gases and differences in temperatures and pressure within layers.. There are . E4.p2X-A,F, I. Characteristics of the Atmosphere. Composition of the Atmosphere. Atmosphere. -mixture of gases around the Earth. 78% Nitrogen-(released from decay/eruptions). 21% Oxygen. 1% Other- (Carbon Dioxide, Argon). Objectives. Describe the composition of Earth’s atmosphere.. Explain why air pressure changes with altitude.. Explain how air temperature changes with atmospheric composition.. Describe the layers of the atmosphere.. With its next . lander. , NASA plans to discover what turned Mars from a warm, wet place to the cold, arid planet we see today.. Long ago, the Red Planet was very different from the frozen, barren desert we have seen on our TV screens courtesy of Pathfinder. . Size. Appearance. Having moons. Having rings. Period of rotation (how long a day is). How Can We classify Planets?. Look at your chart of information.. Approximate Diameter= How Big or small it is.. Period of Rotation = How long fast the planet spins on its axis. . Juliette Becker, Fred Adams, Tali Khain, Stephanie Hamilton, David Gerdes.

The . atmosphere. is the layer of gases that surrounds the Earth.. It is made up of several different molecules, such as nitrogen gas, oxygen gas, and carbon dioxide.. The atmosphere is vital to respiration, as it contains both oxygen and carbon dioxide.. . General Characteristics. Composition- Gases, water vapour and dust particles. Structure: Layered structure, variation with altitude, latitude and seasons; Importance and characteristics of each layer.. 7.5 Composition and Structure of the Atmosphere What is the composition of Earth’s Atmosphere? SC.6.E.7.9, LA.6.2.2.3 Composition of Earth’s Atmosphere The atmosphere is the protective covering of Earth. It keeps Earth warm and protects it from The . ozone layer or ozone shield . is a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's UV radiation. . It contains high concentration of ozone (O3).. It is a pale blue gas at room temperature..
