The Atmosphere

The Atmosphere



What is Atmosphere?




         We all know what is atmosphere already but to refresh the minds of my reader i will simply tell what is atmosphere. The atmosphere is just a layers of different gasses which help us to prevent excessive amount of radiation from  reaching our planet. These layers consists of Oxygen, Nitrogen, and many other gaseous elements. With these layers of gaseous elements we as a living creature we are able to survive this planet. But unfortunately, our atmosphere are engaging to a very serious problem that may result for us humans and other living creatures to this planet DIE, The climate change.


How does the climate change occur?
Lets start firs at the so called GREENHOUSE GASSES. What is the Greenhouse Gasses?

         Many gaseous chemicals compound in our earths atmosphere and these gasses are called the greenhouse gasses. These gasses allows the sunlight pass through the earth and landed to the earth surfaces and some of this are reflected back to the space as Heat or infrared radiation, these greenhouse gasses absorbs this heat and trap it to the atmosphere. Over time, the vast quantity of energy sent from the sun to the earth's surface should be the same as the amount of energy radiated back to the space and leaving the temperature of the earths surface constant. Greenhouse gasses properties some of them shows in the nature such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide and others are exclusively human made like gasses used for aerosols.





Mars have a very thin atmosphere while the Venus has a thicker atmosphere and our planet, earth, has only the exact amount. meaning to say in mars human will have a difficult way of living because this planet will give as a shivering planet, a very cold planet while in Venus, an atmosphere would produce hellish or a hot surroundings and also not suitable for human to live. Instead, parts of our atmosphere act as an insulating blanket of just the right thickness, trapping sufficient solar energy to keep the global average temperature in a pleasant range. The Martian blanket is too thin, and the Venusian blanket is way too thick! The 'blanket' here is a collection of atmospheric gases called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases also 'trap' heat like the glass walls of a greenhouse do. Now, knowing what is the Greenhouse Gasses now we should knowing the bad effect of it, The Climate Change.

THE CLIMATE CHANGE




Excessive heat stores in our planet and surrounds us and our planet which results to a unbalance reaction to the environment. The season change unexpectedly and over rated of temperature feels. Heat wave kills people over the tropical countries, the ice caps of the planets starts to melt and will result to the islands and maybe continents to sink and if that happen many people will die. 





       Now to prevent these to happen is up to us human how will we prevent it, its up to you my dear reader to search about how these problem to stop. Make your knowledge grow and armed yourself for the near future destruction of our planet.



SAVE OUR PLANET
