Did you know
  • The atmosphere forms a protective blanket around Earth and makes it a habitable planet for life. It is the air we breathe and plays a key role in the weather we all like to complain about.
  • The atmosphere encompass all the gases that swirl around the Earth.
  • The blue colour of the sky is because of dispersion and absorption of the Sun's radiation by molecules in the atmosphere.
  • The red colour in the morning and the evening is because of particles, such as dust, smoke or ash.
