Troposphere: The 1st layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere, extends 16 km ... A. This is the coldest layer with temperatures as low as -85°C (-120°F).

A. Color the Earth green or brown to represent land. B. Draw some houses, trees, or other objects you find on the Earth’s surface.
A. Within the troposphere label the scale you are using, “ Scale: 1 mm = 1 km ”. B. Draw clouds in this layer to indicate this is where weather occurs. C. The temperature drops as you move up in the troposphere so label the layer “ warm to cold ”. D. At the top of the troposphere are very strong winds moving eastward called the jet stream. This is also the location where passenger planes fly. Draw an airplane and an arrow moving from left to right to symbolize the location and direction of the jet stream.
A. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. Ozone is made of three oxygen atoms and absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation. To demonstrate this draw molecules of ozone (O 3 ) with lightning bolts going towards the ozone. B. Temperature increases in the stratosphere because ultraviolet radiation is absorbed, so label the layer “ cold to warm ”.
A. This is the coldest layer with temperatures as low as - 85 °C (- 120 °F). Draw a thermometer and snow flakes in this layer to symbolize the cold temps. B. Once in this layer you are now above 99.9% of the molecules that make up the atmosphere. The air is extremely thin so label this layer as “ less than 0.1% of air molecules ”. C. Many meteoroids burn up in the mesosphere because they’re starting to collide with air molecules at extremely high speeds, so draw and label a meteor.
A. The thermosphere is extremely hot because of radiation that is absorbed so draw flames to symbolize the hot temperature. B. Satellites orbit the Earth in this layer because there are so few air molecules. Draw and label a satellite at the top of your paper.
