thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics, chemical ...

When you look at photographs of Earth from space, the planet looks like a blue marble, with patterns of clouds lying on the surface of the marble. It seems as if Earth's atmosphere is incredibly thin, ...

The ozone layer is a part of Earth’s atmosphere that captures some of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light emissions. When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens, allowing ...

The International Space Station recently shared a beautiful image that displays the vibrant colours of Earth's atmosphere as seen from space. The photograph appears to depict our globe covered in an ...

A new climate intervention strategy aims to decrease the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere by injecting it with ice-forming nuclei. The idea is that, by reducing the water content, more heat ...

An international team including researchers from the University of Bern and the University of Geneva as well as the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS analyzed the atmosphere of ...

A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar ...

The Space Age is leaving fingerprints on one of the most remote parts of the planet — the stratosphere — which has potential implications for climate, the ozone layer and the continued habitability of ...
