There are five major layers in the Atmosphere. Each one of the layers has unique details. Starting from the earth's surface and working our way high up in the atmosphere, we have the Troposphere, ...

Mars continues to astonish scientists with a new set of images that reveal the Red Planet’s atmosphere in unprecedented ...

Mars at sunset reveals dozens of razor-thin atmospheric layers in stunning detail, helping scientists map dust and ice patterns.

The powerful vision of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has allowed astronomers to study for the first time the layer-cake structure of the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star. Hubble discovered ...

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, ...

Recent advances in atmospheric science have been significantly bolstered by the advent of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) as versatile platforms for measuring the dynamic conditions of the atmospheric ...

A project led by the University of Washington to better understand our atmosphere's complexity is a finalist for NASA's next generation of Earth-observing satellites. STRIVE seeks to better understand ...

Gravity waves are oscillatory disturbances generated by the restoring force of buoyancy in a stably stratified atmosphere. They play a central role in transferring energy and momentum between ...

Large changes in the sun’s energy output may drive unexpectedly dramatic fluctuations in Earth’s outer atmosphere. Results of a study published today link a recent, temporary shrinking of a high ...
