Earths atmosphere
Earths atmosphere. Computer artwork of the Earth with half of its atmosphere removed. The atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet. It reaches approximately 100 kilometres above the Earths surface. It serves to absorb ultraviolet radiation from the sun and to reduce the temperature extremes between day and night

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Earth's atmosphere in all its glory. Through computer artwork, half of the atmosphere has been removed to reveal a stunning visual representation of this vital layer of gases surrounding our planet. Stretching approximately 100 kilometers above the Earth's surface, the atmosphere plays a crucial role in sustaining life as we know it. One of its primary functions is absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun, shielding us from its potentially damaging effects. Additionally, it acts as a natural thermostat, moderating temperature extremes between day and night on Earth. This delicate balance ensures habitable conditions for diverse ecosystems to thrive. The image highlights various elements within the atmosphere, including clouds that blanket continents and oceans alike. The vastness of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen alongside landmasses such as Africa and Europe. Different layers like the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere are also depicted. Of particular importance is the ozone layer—a protective shield within our atmosphere that safeguards life on Earth by filtering out harmful UV rays. This intricate interplay between land, sea, air currents, and atmospheric components creates an awe-inspiring spectacle visible in this computer-generated artwork. Science Photo Library brings forth yet another remarkable piece capturing both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty—an invitation to contemplate our planet's fragile ecosystem and appreciate its extraordinary complexity.
