Design . goals. :. (some reached, some pending). Global domain. Objectives. Describe the composition of Earth’s atmosphere.. Explain why air pressure changes with altitude.. Explain how air temperature changes with atmospheric composition.. Describe the layers of the atmosphere.. What is the atmosphere?. Definition: The envelope of gases surrounding planet Earth.. Why do we need the atmosphere?. The atmosphere provides protection for the planet from objects in space and contains gasses that help sustain life.. transmitted. absorbed. reflected. 1. transmission. Radiation passes through atmosphere unimpeded.. Shortwave and longwave “windows” . 2. absorption. Energy is transferred to absorber; absorber emits energy. How does the atmosphere support life?. The atmosphere allows us to breathe. Many different types of organisms need oxygen to perform life processes. Plants require carbon dioxide to undergo photosynthesis. . ATMOSPHERE Composition of the Atmosphere The atmosphere is comprised of a variety of gases: Major Constituents (99%): Nitrogen (N): 78% Oxygen (O 2 ): 21% Trace Constituents: Other: 1%
