The document summarizes the composition and structure of Earth's atmosphere in the following key points:
1. The atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), as well as smaller amounts of gases like carbon dioxide, argon, and water vapor.
2. It is divided into five main layers based on changes in temperature: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
3. Gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor play important roles in the greenhouse effect and moderating Earth's temperature to sustain life.
The earth is the only known planet, on which life exists. The present condition and properties of earth’s atmosphere are one of the main reasons for earth to support life. The atmosphere is the blanket of gases or vapours that surrounds the earth, and held together by the force of gravity.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. What we are going to study in this chapter?
Atmosphere
Compositio
n
Structure
• Gases
• Water Vapour
• Dust Particles
• Troposphere
• Stratosphere
• Mesosphere
• Thermosphere
• Exosphere
3. • Atmosphere is the air surrounding the earth.
• The atmosphere is a mixture of different gases.
• It contains life-giving gases like Oxygen for humans and animals and carbon dioxide for plants.
• It envelops the earth all round and is held in place by the gravity of the earth.
• It helps in stopping the ultraviolet rays harmful to the life and maintains
the suitable temperature necessary for life.
• Generally, atmosphere extends up to about 1600 km from the earth’s
surface.
• However, 99 % of the total mass of the atmosphere is confined to the
height of 32 km from the earth’s surface.
Atmosphere
4. Gases
• The atmosphere is a mixture of different types of gases.
• Nitrogen and oxygen are the two main gases in the atmosphere and 99 percentage of the
atmosphere is made up of these two gases.
• Other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, hydrogen, etc. form the remaining part of
the atmosphere.
• The portion of the gases changes in the higher
layers of the atmosphere in such a way that
oxygen will be almost negligible quantity at
the heights of 120 km.
• Similarly, carbon dioxide (and water vapour) is
found only up to 90 km from the surface of the
earth.
5. Carbon Dioxide
• Carbon dioxide is meteorologically a very important gas.
• It is transparent to the incoming solar radiation (insolation) but opaque to the outgoing terrestrial
radiation.
• It absorbs a part of terrestrial radiation and reflects back some part of it towards the earth’s
surface.
• Carbon dioxide is largely responsible for the greenhouse effect.
• When the volume of other gases remains constant
in the atmosphere, the volume of the carbon
dioxide has been rising in the past few decades
mainly because of the burning of fossil fuels. This
rising volume of carbon dioxide is the main reason
for global warming.
6. Water Vapour
Variable gas in the atmosphere, which decreases with altitude.
In the warm and wet tropics, it may account for four per cent of the air by volume, while in the dry and cold
areas of desert and polar regions, it may be less than one per cent of the air.
Water vapour also decreases from the equator towards the poles.
7. • Absorbs part of the insolation from the sun and preserves the earth's radiated
heat.
• Acts like a blanket allowing the earth neither to become too cold nor too hot.
• It contributes to the stability and instability in the air.
8. Dust Particles
• Dust particles are generally found in the lower layers of the atmosphere.
• These particles are found in the form of sand, smoke-soot, oceanic salt, ash, pollen, etc.
• Higher concentration of dust particles is found in subtropical and temperate regions due to dry
winds in comparison to equatorial and polar regions.
• These dust particles help in the condensation of water
vapour.
• During the condensation, water vapour gets condensed in
the form of droplets around these dust particles and thus
clouds are formed
9.
10. Troposphere
• The troposphere is the area that goes from the surface of the earth to a height of 7.5 miles.
• This contains most of the clouds, weather, airplanes, and air currents in the earth's atmosphere.
• The exact height of the troposphere depends on where you
are on the earth, and the exact weather conditions at
that moment.
• It contains around 80% of the mass of the
atmosphere.
11. Stratosphere
• Above the troposphere lies the stratosphere which extends from the top of the
troposphere to about 50 km (31 miles) above the ground.
• The ozone layer lies within the stratosphere.
• Ozone molecules in this layer absorb high-
energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun
and convert it into heat.
• Because of this, unlike the troposphere,
the stratosphere gets warmer the higher
you go!
12. Mesosphere
• The mesosphere lies above the stratosphere, which extends up to a height of 80 km.
• In this layer, once again, temperature starts decreasing with the increase in altitude and reaches up to minus
100° C at the height of 80 km.
• The upper limit of mesosphere is known as the mesopause.
13. Thermosphere
Thermosphere constitutes a layer of sphere called ionosphere.
• The ionosphere is located between 80 and 400 km
above the mesopause.
• It contains electrically charged particles known as ions,
and hence, it is known as ionosphere.
• Radio waves transmitted from the earth are reflected
back to the earth by this layer.
14. Exosphere
• Temperature here starts increasing with height.
• The uppermost layer of the atmosphere above the thermosphere is known as
the exosphere.
• This is the highest layer but very little is known about it.
• Whatever contents are there, these are extremely rarefied in this layer, and it
gradually merges with the outer space.
• Although all layers of the atmosphere must be exercising influence on us,
geographers are concerned with the first two layers of the atmosphere.
15. Elements of Weather and Climate
• Temperature
• Atmospheric Pressure
• Humidity
• Wind
• Precipitation
• Cloudiness
