Atmospheric pressure reduces with altitude. At sea level, air pressure has to do with 14. 7 pounds per square inch (1 kg per square centimeter), and the atmosphere is fairly thick. At 10,000 feet (3 km), the atmospheric pressure is 10 pounds per square inch (0. 7 kg per square cm), which implies particles of gas that make up the atmosphere are less dense.

What's our environment made of? According to NASA, the gases in Earth's environment include: Nitrogen 78 percent, Oxygen 21 percent, Argon 0. 93 percent, Co2 0. 04 percent, Trace quantities of neon, helium, methane, krypton and hydrogen, in addition to water vapor, What are the layers of Earth's atmosphere? This amazing picture of sundown on the Indian Ocean was taken by astronauts aboard the International Spaceport Station (ISS).

(Image credit: NASA)Earth's atmosphere is divided into five main layers: the exosphere, the thermosphere, the mesosphere, the stratosphere and the troposphere, according to NASA. The environment weakens in each greater layer till the gases dissipate in space. There is no distinct boundary between the environment and space, however a fictional line about 62 miles (100 kilometers) from the surface, called the Karman line, is typically where scientists say environment meets deep space.

It is 4 to 12 miles (7 to 20 km) thick and contains half of Earth's environment. Air is warmer near the ground and gets chillier greater up. Nearly all of the water vapor and dust in the environment are in this layer which is why clouds are discovered here.

It starts above the troposphere and ends about 31 miles (50 km) above ground. Ozone is abundant here and it heats up the environment while likewise soaking up hazardous radiation from the sun. The air here is really dry, and it has to do with a thousand times thinner here than it is at sea level.

The starts at 31 miles (50 km) and encompasses 53 miles (85 km) high. The top of the mesosphere, called the mesopause, is the coldest part of Earth's environment, with temperatures averaging about minus 130 degrees F (minus 90 C). This layer is hard to study. Jets and balloons do not go high enough, and satellites and area shuttles orbit too high.
