1
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:02,620
You

2
00:00:11,539 --> 00:00:14,179
Hey everyone guess where I am

3
00:00:15,380 --> 00:00:19,600
Well, don't think so hard. I am in space

4
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:22,420
Do you see that blue ball?

5
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:25,000
Well, that's where you are

6
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:27,579
That's the earth

7
00:00:27,579 --> 00:00:32,500
But hey, what are these? They are the layers of atmosphere

8
00:00:33,219 --> 00:00:37,520
So, let's learn about the layers of atmosphere today.

9
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:39,020
Zoom in!

10
00:00:39,219 --> 00:00:41,520
This is the Troposphere.

11
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:44,719
This layer is where the weather occurs.

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:51,119
This is the lowest atmospheric layer and begins at the surface of the earth..

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,520
..and extends out to about 4 to 10 miles.

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:59,920
The temperature of the Troposphere decreases with increase in altitude.

15
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Just so that you know, altitude is the height of an object or point in relation to the ground level.

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,920
Now we are in the stratosphere, second lowest layer of earth's atmosphere.

17
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Here the temperature rises with the rise in altitude.

18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:27,920
You will also find the ozone layer here, which helps absorb harmful UV rays from the sun.

19
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,829
This is the layer where you will find aeroplanes flying around.

20
00:01:35,829 --> 00:01:38,829
As the stratosphere is free of all weather disturbances.

21
00:01:39,829 --> 00:01:45,829
The stratosphere extends to about 30 to 35 miles above the earth's surface.

22
00:01:46,829 --> 00:01:51,829
This is the mesosphere, where most meteors burn upon entry.

23
00:01:52,829 --> 00:01:56,829
The mesosphere stretches up till 50 miles from the earth's surface.

24
00:01:56,829 --> 00:02:01,829
The thermosphere is next and the air is very thin here.

25
00:02:02,829 --> 00:02:05,829
Temperatures get extremely hot in the thermosphere.

26
00:02:06,829 --> 00:02:10,830
It extends up to 400 miles from the earth's surface.

27
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:14,830
The lower part of this layer contains the ionosphere.

28
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:21,830
Many atoms are ionized in this layer and you will also find electrical charge here.

29
00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:29,629
This is the last layer and the air is quite thin here.

30
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:32,629
Yes, it is the exosphere.

31
00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:38,830
It goes all the way up to 6200 miles from the earth's surface.

32
00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:44,460
Did you know?

33
00:02:44,659 --> 00:02:50,259
Troposphere contains more than 75% of atmosphere's mass.

34
00:02:50,259 --> 00:02:56,259
And the ions in the ionosphere help to transmit radio waves.

35
00:02:59,259 --> 00:03:01,259
It's getting a bit spooky here.

36
00:03:02,259 --> 00:03:04,259
I think it's time for me to get back to earth.

37
00:03:05,259 --> 00:03:07,259
So this is me zooming out.

38
00:03:08,259 --> 00:03:10,259
Tune in next time for more fun facts.
