The Earth’s atmosphere is a protective blanket of gases that surrounds our planet, making life possible. It consists of different layers, namely the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. From the breathable air in the troposphere to the ozone-rich stratosphere, these layers play a vital role in shielding us from harmful radiation, regulating temperature, and supporting life.
The atmosphere holds moisture, gases, and tiny particles. Nitrogen and oxygen are the most abundant gases, making up the air we breathe, while carbon dioxide and water vapour help regulate our climate. Trace gases like ozone protect us from the Sun’s harmful rays.
This grid contains the names of some of the vital gases in the atmosphere. Can you spot them all?
