AIR (And its significance to everything)
-First and foremost- What is air exactly?
Mainly Nitrogen, and some Oxygen. (This graph has been rounded)
The air is held to our planet by gravity--it’s called an ATMOSPHERE. ATMOSPHERE There’s no definite boundary to it-- it just kind of fades into space…………
LAYERS EXOSPHERE (satellites and things like that) THERMOSPHERE (auroras--lower satellites) MESOSPHERE (meteors) STRATOSPHERE (airplanes) TROPOSHPERE (everything else)
It protects us from UV (ultra violet) rays. See this special layer right here? It’s the OZONE LAYER. WRONG
It weighs something--around FIVE QUINTILLION kilograms, and it keeps low to the Earth so we can breathe. Since three quarters of it is within 11km, we don’t have to struggle to breathe.
They look like happy campers, huh? As you know though, air gets thinner the higher you go, so this should show that you gotta stay low.
Air also keeps you warm. EARTH Sun Rays
Air also keeps you warm COLD EARTH (without atmosphere) Sun Rays
Air also keeps you warm WARM (with atmosphere) (without atmosphere) EARTH Sun Rays
Air also keeps you warm. This is called the greenhouse effect EARTH (with atmosphere) Sun Rays
What wouldn’t be possible without air? TO NAME A FEW -
FIRE (No oxygen to burn)
WATER (The oceans would evaporate)
PLANTS (No respiration)
HOUSES (No wood to use)
AIRCRAFT (Receive no lift)
MARSHMALLOWZ (Almost 75% air)
CARS Tires need air pressure
CARS CAR- CRASHES Tires need air pressure Requires Oxygen
Without air, Earth is cold, desolate, dead.
Our air is SPECIAL.. ..and it is the main difference between our world and most other planets.
Of the trillions of planets, ours is the most unique. And what are we doing to it..?
There is one car to every eleven people in the world.
A single car destroys 500,000 square feet of habitable land,...
…and that doesn’t include everything else!
We can’t live without air… …and we can’t live with bad air.
