Travel through the layers of the atmosphere in one minute

The Earth's atmosphere has five layers, the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere, and the exosphere. Each plays an important role for life to thrive here on Earth. The troposphere is where all weather occurs, but other layers of the atmosphere are just as important to our planet.
Which atmospheric layer protects us from meteors? What layer of the atmosphere do the Northern Lights form? You'll find those answers in this one-minute video. Great for educators looking to give students a quick overview of the basics of our atmosphere!
