Worksheet time: 16mins
Which planet has an atmosphere?
Mars
Earth
Venus
Moon
Earth's atmosphere includes:
Nitrogen 78%
Oxygen 21%
Argon 0.9%
Carbon dioxide 0.03%
Water 0.01%
Scientist compare Earth to the rocky planets that are part of the solar system:
Mars
Moon
Black hole
Venus
The atmosphere is about:
300 miles(480km)
200 miles(204km)
336 miles(490km)
100 miles(55km)
The atmosphere meets outer space at an imaginary line called:
Carbon line
Oxygen line
Nitrogen
Karman line
The earth's atmosphere is made up of different layers.
True
False
I don't know
I don't remember
Troposphere is:
Closest layer, contains half of the atmosphere, clouds water vapor and dust occur here
Farthest layer, contains all of the atmosphere, clouds water vapor and dust don't occur here
Dry layer
Wet layer
Stratosphere is:
Very dry, balloon airs and jets fly here
Very wet, airplanes fly here
Very big
Closest layer to earth
Mesosphere is:
highest layer
Hottest layer
Coldest layer
Oldest layer
Thermosphere is:
has alot of air
air density=no air, we think of it as outer space, space shuttles orbit Earth here
air density=low, we normally think of it as outer space, space shuttles orbit Earth here
air density=high, we don't think of it as outer space, space shuttles don't orbit Earth here
Exosphere is:
Highest and thinnest layer
biggest and lowest layer
merges with outer space
coldest layer
Ionosphere is:
active part of atmosphere that grows or shrinks depending on the energy from the sun, overlaps 3 layers:mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere
5th layer
not active part of atmosphere that doesn't grow or shrink depending on the energy from the sun, overlaps 3 layers:ozone layer, thermosphere, and exosphere
4th layer
Ozone layer is:
a nickname for the mesosphere
a shield in the thermosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
a shield in the stratosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
a shield in the mesosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the moon.
Without it we will die:
mesosphere
Ozone layer
ionosphere
thermosphere
Auroras are:
something dangerous
things in sky
bright, ugly bands of light that appear far from Earth's poles
bright, beautiful bands of light that appear near Earth's poles
Did you like my exam till now (It is a poll choose what you think)
Yes
No
Good but not the best
