Légkörök

Légkörök is a term used in meteorology and atmospheric science to describe the different layers of Earth's atmosphere. These layers are distinguished by variations in temperature, pressure, and composition. The lowest layer is the troposphere, where weather occurs and temperature generally decreases with altitude. Above the troposphere is the stratosphere, characterized by a stable temperature that increases with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. Following the stratosphere is the mesosphere, where temperatures decrease again with height, and meteors typically burn up. The thermosphere is above the mesosphere, with extremely high temperatures due to absorption of high-energy solar radiation, though it would feel cold due to low density. The exosphere is the outermost layer, gradually merging into outer space. Each légkör plays a crucial role in protecting life on Earth and influencing climate patterns. Understanding these atmospheric layers is fundamental to studying weather, climate change, and space exploration.
