The earth is surrounded by a thick blanket of air, called the atmosphere. It contains the oxygen we need to breath. It is also where all the weather happens. The air in the atmosphere may be warm or cool, dry or moist. This controls the type of weather we have. The air is constantly on the move, stirred up by the Sun’s heat. The way the atmosphere moves and changes causes the changes in the weather that some parts of the world have each day. The atmosphere is made up of oxygen (nearly 21%), nitrogen (78%), and small amounts of other gases (1%). It also contains water vapour (the invisible gas form of water), and tiny droplets of water and ice that from clouds. From the clouds fall rain, snow and hail. The Earth’s gravity holds the atmosphere in place, stopping the air escaping into space.

The atmosphere can be divided into a number of layers according to its mixing or chemical characteristics, generally determined by its thermal properties. The layer nearest the Earth is the troposphere, which reaches up to an altitude of about 8 km in the polar regions and up to 17 km above the equator. The stratosphere, which reaches to an altitude of about 50 km lies atop the troposphere.

The gaseous mantle surrounding a planet or other body. It is thought that the atmosphere of the Earth is a secondary atmosphere. The theory is that the original (primary) atmosphere was lost during the T-Tauri stage of the Sun's evolution. Volcanoes gradually replaced this with an atmosphere of methane, carbon dioxide and water vapour. The current atmosphere evolved from this. The oceans were formed as the water vapour condensed as Earth cooled down. When plants containing chlorophyll evolved, they used the carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and introduced oxygen into our atmosphere.

Atmosphere is the general name for a layer of gases that may surround a material body of sufficient mass. The gases are attracted by the gravity of the body, and held fast if gravity is sufficient and the atmosphere's temperature is low. Some planets consist mainly of various gases, and thus have very deep atmospheres (see gas giants).
