Earth's Atmosphere (GCSE Physics)
Earth’s Atmosphere
Earth’s Atmosphere
- The atmosphere surrounds the Earth. The atmosphere is a thin layer of air around the Earth. This can be compared to an orange; the fruit is the Earth and the peel is the atmosphere.
- The atmosphere is relatively thin. In comparison to the size of the Earth, the atmosphere is quite thin. Again, the analogy or an orange is appropriate. If we consider the sizes of the peel and the fruit, we can see that the peel is much thinner than the fruit.
