Vocab Words  Absorption- When light hits a surface and heats that surface.  Reflection- When light hits a surface and bounces off.  Equilibrium- A normal state  Absorption- When light hits a surface and heats that surface.  Reflection- When light hits a surface and bounces off.  Equilibrium- A normal state

19. 1.1 Earth’s Atmosphere Supports life. Atmosphere: A whole layer of air that Surrounds earth. Ends at 300 mi. above Earth’s surface Keeps Earth warm. Transports Energy.

20. How thick is Earth’s Atmosphere? Earth = Peach Earth’s Atmosphere = Peach Fuzz

21. Characteristics of the Atmosphere:  Altitude: Distance above sea level. Air becomes thinner as altitude increases.

22.  Density = Mass/volume  Density = Mass/volume Atmosphere’s density decreases as you travel upward.

23. More Gas = Dense > (greater) Mass/Volume Less Gas = Less Dense < (less) Mass/Volume

24. Materials in the atmosphere: Recipe for Air: Nitrogen gas: 78% Oxygen gas: 21 % Argon gas Carbon dioxide Water vapor varies Exact amounts of gases can change depending on time of day, location, season...

30. 1.2 Energy from the sun heats the Atmosphere All the energy around us comes from the sun. Sun’s Energy Absorbed 50% Absorbed by Earth’s Surface 20% Absorbed by Clouds & Atmosphere Sun’s Energy Reflected 25% Reflected by Clouds & Atmosphere 5% Reflected by Earth’s Surface

31. Clouds Reflect and Absorb Radiation

32. Solar Radiation

33. The Atmosphere Moves Energy from place to place Radiation: Travel of heat energy by waves through space. Conduction: Transfer of heat energy by direct contact. Convection: Transfer of heat energy by the movement of gas or liquid. Radiation: Travel of heat energy by waves through space. Conduction: Transfer of heat energy by direct contact.
