Beginner ELL Core Idea
- Air surrounds Earth and changes.
- Air pushes and moves.
- Heat makes air rise. Cool air falls.
- Weather happens in the troposphere.

Air pressure is air pushing on things.
The atmosphere is the air around Earth.
Gas is air. Gas spreads out.
Gravity pulls things down to Earth.
Pressure is a push. Air can push.
Temperature tells how hot or cold something is.
Weather is what the air is like today. Rain, sun, wind, or snow.
Altitude is how high something is in the sky.
A barometer measures air pressure.
The biosphere is all living things on Earth.
Chemical composition means what something is made of.
Density means how packed something is. More packed = heavier.
The exosphere is the outer layer of air.
A greenhouse traps heat. Gases in the air trap heat.

The ionosphere is a layer of air with charged particles.
The lithosphere is the land part of Earth.
The mesopause is the top of the mesosphere.
The mesosphere is a cold air layer above the stratosphere.
Ozone is a gas that blocks harmful sunlight.
The stratopause is the top of the stratosphere.
The stratosphere is a layer above the troposphere. Planes fly here.
The troposphere is the lowest air layer. Weather happens here.

Order the Atmosphere
Start at the ground (troposphere) and move up to space (exosphere). Pauses mark the tops of layers.
Reading
Weather happens in the troposphere, the lowest layer. The tropopause is its top. Above is the stratosphere, then the stratopause. Next comes the mesosphere and mesopause. Higher is the hot thermosphere, and the exosphere fades into space.
Tip: Layer â pause (top) â next layer.
