The dynamic atmosphere 🌀

  • Dynamic System: Think of the atmosphere as a busy airport: with planes (air) coming in (inputs), going out (outputs), circulating in the airspace (flows), and parked at gates (storages). It’s always on the move!

  • Changing Over Time: Just like your favorite music playlist evolves over time, the atmosphere too has undergone changes throughout our Earth's vast history. 🎵

Earth’s thermostat – a matter of degrees 🌡️

Reason for Temperature Changes:

  • The most obvious reason? Our main star - the Sun! Sometimes, the Sun feels like being a bit brighter or dimmer, impacting Earth's temperature. Think of it as adjusting the brightness on your phone – more brightness, more heat!
