Space Astronomers uncover the topsy-turvy atmosphere of a distant planet. The gas giant WASP-121b, also known as Tylos, has an atmospheric structure unlike any we have ever seen, and the fastest ...

Researchers have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS ...

First, as I mentioned, is the troposphere. This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where all weather occurs. It begins at the ground, and extends upward to about 6.2 miles above earth’s surface.

The temperature of the planet’s oceans rose to new heights this week, setting a new record with no sign of cooling down. The average global ocean surface temperature hit 20.96 degrees Celsius ...

The Earth’s atmosphere has a number of layers. The region we know best, because it is where our weather happens, is the troposphere. This dense blanket of air five to nine miles thick contains ...

Upper atmospheric cooling is the phenomenon in which, "while the blanket of air close to the Earth's surface is warming, most of the atmosphere above is becoming dramatically colder," as defined ...

When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted underwater in January, it created a plume of ash and water that broke through the third layer of Earth’s atmosphere.

This is the second article in our four-part series “The Congo Basin peatlands.” Read Part One, Part Three and Part Four.. The announcement came in mid-2019: A pool of oil lay deep beneath a ...

This layers defining characteristic is that pressure and temperature decrease as height increases. An example of this would be climbing a mountain. The higher up the mountain you go, the colder it ...

Titan is the second-largest moon in the solar system, behind Jupiter's Ganymede, and sports a dense atmosphere of mostly nitrogen with a dash of methane, according to Space.com.This yellowish haze ...

Earth’s atmosphere has 5 layers. We live in the troposphere and that's where weather happens. It extends from the surface of the Earth to about 7 miles up.
