1. Unscramble the words to discover the layers of the atmosphere:
- MESOSPHERE
- TROPOSPHERE
- STRATOSPHERE
- THERMOSPHERE
- EXOSPHERE
2. Match each layer with the right definition:
- Stratosphere: The layer that contains the ozone layer, which absorbs most of the Sun’s harmful UV radiation.
- Thermosphere: The layer where temperatures can reach over 1000°C due to absorption of high-energy solar radiation.
- Troposphere: The lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs and where we live.
- Exosphere: The outermost layer of the atmosphere, where molecules escape into space.
- Mesosphere: The layer where meteors burn up upon entering Earth’s atmosphere.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of layers of the atmosphere worksheet for kids.
