This image provides a visual journey through the atmospheric layers, beginning with the dynamic weather systems of the Troposphere, showing high air pressure near the Earth’s surface that decreases with altitude. The Stratosphere is depicted above, with a calmer appearance and hints of the protective ozone layer. The colder, darker tones of the Mesosphere above show the occasional bright streak of meteors burning up. The vibrant auroras of the Thermosphere illustrate its interaction with solar particles, despite its low air density and high temperatures. Finally, the image transitions to the sparse, starry Exosphere, emphasizing its minimal air pressure and the vast expanse of outer space, illustrating the unique characteristics and decreasing density and pressure of air molecules with increasing altitude.
