Over time, they noticed that the atmosphere had distinct layers. By the early 1900s, scientists had identified major layers of the atmosphere based on how the temperature changed at different ...
A recent study has unveiled how chemical elements and powerful winds shape the atmosphere of a planet far beyond our solar system.
As the layers go up, they get less dense ... in turn reducing the density of the atmosphere as a whole. The troposphere is growing while the stratosphere is shrinking, Phys.org explained.
