Layers of the Atmosphere

The video explains Earth's atmosphere, highlighting its thinness and importance for breathing. It describes the atmosphere's layers: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere, detailing their characteristics and phenomena like weather, jet flights, meteors, auroras, and satellite orbits. The video concludes with the concept of space as a vacuum beyond the exosphere.
