atmosphere

Early fluent readers will explore the science behind the auroras the light the night sky.

Onward and, more importantly, upward! This informative text takes readers on a journey up through the layers of Earth's atmosphere, detailing the unique scientific features of each layer and the history of humans exploring these great heights. Fun fact boxes and gorgeous photographs will dazzle even reluctant readers. With graphic organizers and sidebars to illustrate complex concepts, this volume clearly connects key scientific principles about our planet's atmosphere to significant moments in the history of space exploration.

A book about the possibility of colonizing other planets which includes practical and ethical concerns, as well as the work towards this goal that has already been completed.

"Earth's atmosphere plays a very important role in sustaining life on the planet. The atmosphere is made of a very thin layer of air, which covers every inch of Earth's surface up to the edge of space. The atmosphere is comprised of different chemicals and compounds at any given location, which also means that the atmosphere behaves in different ways at any given location. This book explores the atmosphere's composition, its behavior, and how it affects life on Earth"--Provided by publisher.

Readers will discover the complicated relationship between humans and the air that exists all around us.

There's plenty to discover about the planet we call Earth, and this vivacious volume summons readers to pay attention to the wonderful world around them.

"Explore the atmosphere's layers from the troposphere in which we live to the exosphere in the vacuum of space. Learn how the atmosphere supports life, how scientists study the different layers, and how the atmosphere protects Earth"--Provided by publisher.

"Learn about air and weather through everyday connections to science in the real world. Weather affects what you wear and where you go. But did you know there would be no weather on Earth without air? Use what you learn to solve the strange case of the missing hat!"--Back cover.

"Car, train, ship or aeroplane--which form of transport is most harmful to the atmosphere? What do farming techniques such as agrochemicals do? What is 'acid rain' and what are effects of it? This book takes a look at the impact that our modern world is having on our surrounding environment, from our use of fossil fuels and our increase in global food production and building work, to the rise in our transport production. Discover what steps scientists and engineers, and even ordinary people, are taking to develop sustainable solutions to these problems, from replastering festivals to buildings bound together using horse hair!"--Provided by the publisher.

Explores the layers of Earth's atmosphere.
