Atmosphere : the thin layer of gases that surrounds Earth.
Relative humidity : the ratio of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at the temperature; expressed as percentage.
Air pressure : the force exerted by air on the area below it; also called atmospheric pressure.
Troposphere : the lowest layer of the atmosphere; extends 0 to 11 km above sea level.
Stratosphere : the layer of the atmosphere; extends 11 to 50 km above sea level.
Ozone layer : the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere.
Mesosphere : the layer of the atmosphere above the stratosphere; extends 50 to 80 km above sea level.
Thermosphere : the top layer of the atmosphere; extends from 80 km above sea level infinitely into space.
Radiation : the transfer of energy through space.
Conduction : the transfer of heat directly between two objects that are in contact with each other.
Convection : the transfer of heat in a fluid as warm parts of the fluid rise from the heat source and expand.
Convection current : the movement in a fluid as warm parts of the fluid rise and cool parts sink.
Air mass : a large body of air in which properties such as temperature, pressure, and humidity are similar.
Front : the boundary between air masses that differ in temperature and moisture.
