CONCLUSION OF ATMOSPHERE SECTION

In conclusion the atmosphere is mainly made up of nitrogen, oxygen and some trace gases and aerosols that govern the climate system, to regulate the energy balance between the incident solar radiation and terrestrial radiation that is emitted. Most of the atmosphere is below 10 km. In the troposphere, where the Earth's climate operates and where the greenhouse effect operates in a more visible manner. Above it are layers which are defined by their temperatures.
