It is 99% of the water vapor and 75% of the atmospheric gases. Rain, snow, and clouds occur here and it extends up to 10 km.  ]]> 2019-01-03 18:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mary_beerman/v83ifycz3d70/wish/317300455 mary_beerman https://padlet.com/mary_beerman/v83ifycz3d70/wish/317300560 A thin layer of air that forms a protective covering over the earth. Earth's atmosphere maintains the balance between the amount of heat absorbed from the sun and the amount of heat that escapes back into space. It protects life forms from some of the sun's harmful rays.
