  1. A process by which a planet’s atmosphere keeps energy from being lost to space. The greenhouse effect protects life on Earth by retaining sufficient energy to maintain liquid water.
    greenhouse effect
  2. The flow rate of radiant energy from the sun through space to reach Earth.
    solar constant
  3. lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the Earth's surface up to an average altitude of about 11 kilometers
    troposphere
  4. A region of the earth’s atmosphere in which there is a uniform mixture of gases.
    homosphere
  5. A belt of high-speed winds in the stratosphere that flow across the upper and middle latitudes.
    jet stream
  6. he layer of Earth's atmosphere located above the troposphere. It extends roughly from an altitude of about 11 kilometers to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
    stratosphere
  7. A region of variable height in the earth’s atmosphere where solar radiation breaks gas molecules into ions.
    ionosphere
  8. outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, located above the thermosphere. It is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere and gradually transitions into the vacuum of space.
    exosphere
  9. Free!
  10. A region of the earth’s atmosphere in which there are distinct layers of different gases.
    heterosphere
  11. Natural atmospheric gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane that warm the atmosphere by the greenhouse effect.
    greenhouse gas
  12. The atmosphere refers to the layer of gases that surrounds the Earth (or other astronomical body).
    atmosphere
  13. The steady drop of temperature within altitude in the troposphere.
    lapse rate
  14. The movement of thermal energy through a medium. The transfer of thermal energy by direct contact between two substances.
    conduction
  15. A layer of concentrated ozone (O ) in the stratosphere that shields the earth from harmful ultraviolet light.
    ozone layer
  16. The emission of electromagnetic waves. such as with sunlight or heat lamps.
    radiation
  17. fourth layer of Earth's atmosphere. It begins approximately at an altitude of about 80 km to about 500 km.
    thermosphere
  18. third layer of Earth's atmosphere. It extends approximately from an altitude of about 50 kilometers to 80 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Contains the coldest temperatures in the atmosphere.
    mesosphere
  19. The transfer of thermal energy by the flow of a fluid caused by differences in density.
    convection
  20. The geomagnetic field that surrounds the earth originating in the earth’s interior and extending to 160,000 km.
    magnetosphere
