Label the layers of the Earth's atmosphere in this interactive science worksheet.

This worksheet titled "The Earth: atmosphere" is designed to help students learn about the layers of Earth's atmosphere. The image shows a cross-section of Earth with five concentric layers, each labeled with a dotted line pointing to a blank box on the right side where students should write the name of the layer.

Let’s identify and label each atmospheric layer based on the visual clues:

🔹 Step-by-step analysis of the layers (from bottom to top):

1. Bottom Layer (closest to Earth):
- Contains an airplane.
- This is the Troposphere — the lowest layer where weather occurs and most air traffic happens.

2. Second Layer:
- A rocket is shown ascending.
- This is the Stratosphere — contains the ozone layer, where commercial jets fly and where the temperature increases with altitude.

3. Third Layer:
- A meteor or falling star is shown burning up.
- This is the Mesosphere — the layer where meteors burn up upon entering the atmosphere.

4. Fourth Layer:
- A satellite is shown orbiting.
- This is the Thermosphere — very hot due to absorption of solar radiation; satellites orbit here.

5. Top Layer (outermost):
- Stars and space are visible beyond this layer.
- This is the Exosphere — the outermost layer, where the atmosphere thins out into space.

✔ Final Answer:

Label the boxes from bottom to top as follows:

1. Troposphere
2. Stratosphere
3. Mesosphere
4. Thermosphere
5. Exosphere

🌍 Summary:

Earth’s atmosphere is divided into five main layers:
- Troposphere: Weather, flying planes
- Stratosphere: Ozone layer, jet aircraft
- Mesosphere: Meteors burn up
- Thermosphere: Satellites, auroras
- Exosphere: Outer edge, merges with space

This worksheet helps visualize how different objects (airplane, rocket, satellite, meteor) interact with different atmospheric layers.
