Early Tuesday morning, a delicate, wispy cloud type rarely seen formed over western Montana, lighting up the pre-dawn sky.

Explore the layers of the atmosphere depicted to scale, including the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. Discover what occurs in each layer. This video is available ...

Climate change left its signature on the atmosphere early in the industrial revolution, reveals a thought experiment ...

This atmosphere is exceptionally thin; the surface pressure is just 13 microbars, in comparison to Earth's surface pressure of about 1 bar. (One bar is equivalent to one million microbars.) ...

Here’s why some people say they hear cracking and popping from an atmospheric event that shouldn’t be able to produce any ...

An exoplanet 60 light-years away from Earth, known as 14 Herculis c, is thought to be the coldest one yet found, researchers claim in a new study.

In the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere—where weather occurs—there spins a polar vortex that circles the globe year round, a jet stream that’s also sometimes referred to as ...
